salt reservoir have
a level indicator
integrated in the

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient).
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.
