Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	For water-softener use, load the correct salt grade into the brine tank according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Keep food-grade salt segregated from technical treatment chemicals and store bags on a dry raised surface.
Maintenance Tips	Keep salt dry and protected from contamination. For softeners, inspect the brine tank, remove bridging or compacted salt, and maintain the required salt level. Check product condition before use.
Safety Notes	Use only the grade specified for the intended application. Do not consume technical water-softener salt. Follow the supplier safety data sheet, prevent contamination, and use suitable manual-handling practices for heavy bags.
