WATER SOFTENER

The water softener is used to remove
calcium and

magnesium (hardness) from the water.

Its main purpose is to protect the
RO unit from having

to work too hard.

Two hardness
test are taken daily post the softener to

ensure that the unit is functioning
properly (one in the

morning before the first patient
shift and one in the

afternoon).

Hardness should be below 1gpg. If
the hardness is

higher than 1gpg contact BEST. IT IS STILL SAFE TO

RUN TREATMENTS.

The
brine tank next to the softener stores salt which is used to regenerate the
softener. The salt

level
in the brine tank should always be above water level. If you see water in the
brine tank, add

salt
until the water is no longer visible.
