How much salt?

I do have the manual but it is a very old unit. There is no low salt light.
There is a meter that shows the current draw restated as effectiveness
(green zone) and pre-treatment and treatment lights. The meter is defective
and needs replacing.
If you have the original "stove timer" dial controller, it IS an old
unit. No parts are still available for that controller. If the treatment
unit is still in good shape, I suggest you upgrade the controller (it's
either that or replace the whole system...or go back to use a holding
tank). Give Vic Willman at Raritan a call to discuss your options
(knowing Vic, he might even be able to dredge up the part you need):
800-352-5630 x 6. He'll be in Annapolis through Sunday, but should be in
next week.
Meanwhile, you do want to download the manual from link I gave you to
get the cleaning instructions, if nothing else of value...they made it a
lot easier since your unit was new.
Many thanks again. I did replace the electrodes some years ago and also the
solenoid. It is the stove timer sort of dial. The cleaning instructions I had
not seen before. Indeed, the new manual is a vast improvement over the one I
have, which is pretty much incomprehensible.
If we don't add salt, we get visible effluent and odor. If we add salt, there
is neither visible effluent nor odor.
