Water Softener Servicing explained
Servicing includes a hardness test at the outlet, which is the only way to prove the softener is still doing what you are paying salt for.
- Hardness test before and after: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
- Brine tank clean: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
- Injector and seal kit: Closure and seal contact should be checked together; a new gasket will not correct a misaligned door.
- Salt dosing advice: Confirm the component identity and model-specific requirements before deciding whether adjustment, testing or replacement is appropriate.
