Disinfection of Water Conditioners
The materials of construction of the modern water conditioner will not support 
bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. In addition, 
during normal use, a conditioner may become fouled with organic matter, or in some 
cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result in an off-taste or odor in 
the water.
Thus, your conditioner may need to be disinfected after installation. Some 
conditioners will require periodic disinfection during their normal life. Consult your 
installing dealer for more information on disinfecting your conditioner.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of conditioner, the type of ion 
exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice can be made among the following 
methods.
