What is Water Softener Cleanser?
The Morton Water Softener Cleaner is a diluted Phosphoric Acid solution that helps to reduce buildup inside your system. It's an important piece in helping your water softener run at peak performance.
How Does it Work?
If used properly, the cleanser will flow through the internal parts of your softener, and then rinse out through the drain hose during a recharge cycle. The cleanser should never come in contact with your plumbing, but we do recommend opening a faucet and letting the water run for a few minutes after the recharge is complete. This will help to rinse out any leftover cleanser as a safety measure.

1. You'll want to confirm your softener is out of bypass (handle should be pulled out.)
2. Go ahead and open the salt lid and find the brinewell - this is the numbered tube on the left side of the salt tank. You'll want to find the slotted opening at the top of the brinewell (pictured below).
3. Now pour one bottle of Cleanser into the brinewell slots.
4. Next you'll Hold the ‘Recharge’ button until the motor kicks on, then let go. This will start a recharge cycle which usually lasts around 2 ½ hours.
5. After the recharge is completed, run a few cold water faucets for 5-10 minutes to rinse any remaining cleanser from the unit.
