Sears ultrasoft 180 manual

I like to verify that the unit is still functioning with the exception of resins. Can I do this? Do you have any reference where I can get the resins? Jerry, Thank you for the link for the resins. Hello, The link in the reply is to the resin, available at Sears.

I will re-post it at the end of this reply. You will be able to run the softener as normal to test it mechanically after all of the resin is removed.

It will simply not soften the water, but will show you if it is working properly. This would be a good idea in your situation. No problem, let me know if you need any further assistance. I final replaced the resins, it is working again now. That is great to hear! Good job on the resin replacement. Use the icon is ON. Page 11 As you use more water, so more brine is made. Page 12 FIG.

If it "is" counting ok, the control unit is suspect. If it "is not" counting up, either the turbine is faulty, most common as it's mechanical or the harness is faulty or possibly not connected to the softener outlet or control. It's possible that the harness connector is corroded. A quick chect can confirm. Harness is probably about the same price. Either way, simple test and fix. Until you get fixed, I would run manual regeneration about every 4 days to ensure you keep the resin recharged.

To physically check the turbine, put the softener into bypass, press and hold the regeneration control to start a manual regeneration. This will release all the water pressure inside the softener and piping. Keep pressing the regeneration button until it has cycled back to the service position. Pull the two plastic clips at the bypass and carefully slide the softener out of the water connection. You can then remove the turbine from the water outlet. Comes in two pieces, the turbine enclosure and the turbine itself.

The turbine may be rust stained no big deal , but intact. It spins on the metal shaft in the turbine enclosure. Should spin easily. Last edited: Jan 21, Click to expand How old is the unit? It could be that the capacity is lower not allowing as many days between regens.

Do you have a test kit? I've had customers test thest water on a daily basis to determine when it got hard and then calculated when it should regen. The Kenmore units measure the amount of water that passes through it and, based on the hardness value entered, sets a regeneration for the next morning usually 2 am. They are not a timer-type of controller. It's the turbine that measures the number of gallons used to trigger the computer control to set a flag for regeneration the following am.

Ok, I see what you were coming from. As I understood the op his problem wasn't getting soft water, rather the machine wasn't going into automatic generation.

Does a manual ok, gets soft water, but he needs to run a manual regen. One other thing comes to mind. You didn't mention it, but nothing to loose. Try unplugging the controller long enough for the control to lose its charge.

I don't know how long but I would suspect a couple of hours would do it.
