If the Pump Stops Working
🔹 Possible Cause
During the second recharge or later, salt may not have been fully rinsed off, and dried salt crystals can build up and block the pump.
🔹 How to Fix It
Soak the pump in clean water for half a day or a full day. This helps dissolve the salt and usually restores normal function.
🔹 Other Possible Issue
If it still doesn’t work, the USB port may have come into contact with water, which can cause poor connection or damage to the pump. In this case, you can purchase a replacement pump kit to continue using your system.
How to Connect the System
🔹 No Disassembly Needed
With the upgraded system, you don’t need to take anything apart during recharge.
🔹 First-Time Setup
Connect the adapter to the valves on both sides of the softener.
🔹 After Recharge
Simply remove the other end of the adapter—press it gently and pull it out.
Water Softener Recharge Instructions
Over time, the resin in the softener becomes saturated with hard minerals and loses its softening ability. This is when the system needs to be recharged.
🔹 How to tell if it’s time to recharge:
- The slippery, soft feel of water during showers starts fading.
- Use the included hardness test strip to confirm.
- For single-person use, recharge about once a month.
🔹 Recharge Steps:
- Action: Circulate saltwater between the container and softener using the pump.
- Principle: Saltwater contacts the resin to remove hard minerals and restore softening power.
- Result: Boosts recharge efficiency and keeps your system working at its best.
Shower Water Softener System
Shower Water Softener System
Shower filters can reduce chlorine, but they do not truly soften hard water. SoftWaterCare combines an ACF filter with an ion exchange shower softener to help reduce both dirty water and hard water minerals in one apartment-friendly system.
