Instructions
Remove the water-softening pillow from its packaging. Place the pillow either in the filter or in the tank itself. The water-softening pillow will work best if used directly in the filter.
Allow the water-softening pillow to remain in the tank of filter for at least 48 hours. After 48 hours, remove the pillow and recharge it.
Mix 3 tbsp. of iodized salt and 7 oz. of water in a small bowl. Set the water-softening pillow in the bowl, completely covering it with the solution.
Leave the pillow in the solution for two hours. After that, place the water-softener pillow back in the tank or filter. Recharge again after 48 hours.
Store the saltwater recharging solution in an airtight container until you need to use it again in 48 hours. Mix up a new batch of recharging solution after four recharges.
