Recharge Guide for Shower Water Softener System
Please watch our recharge video for your shower water softener system for helpful visual instructions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at service@softwatercare.com.
- Prepare a concentrated salt solution (2 lbs of regular table salt + at least 1.3 gallons of water).
- Unscrew the hoses on both sides of the water softener, lay it flat, and drain the water from the softener.
- Take out the water pump from the kit and connect one end to the outlet of the water softener.
- Place the pump in the salt solution and connect it to a portable charger.
- Allow the salt solution to circulate through the water softener system for at least 3 hours.
- Reinstall the shower water softener and let it sit for one night.
- Turn on the shower, let the water run for 3 minutes, and the recharge is complete.
To recharge the softener, we use a brine container and pump to circulate concentrated saltwater through the system.
Traditional softeners typically fill only half the space with resin, leaving the rest open for soaking in brine during recharge. While this works, it reduces space efficiency and lowers the initial soft water capacity. By moving the brine to a separate container for circulation, we maximize the space inside the softener, filling it with more resin to increase the initial soft water capacity. Additionally, brine circulation is a more efficient recharging method, resulting in a greater amount of soft water after each recharge.
