You may need to know how to remove and replace the salt lid, top cover and faceplate of your water softener if one of them is damaged or if you need to get access to the electronics or other parts under the cover. Let’s walk through this together.
1. You’ll want to start out by removing the top cover:
- On the back of the unit, you'll unhook the two clips that hold the cover onto the tank below (see photo below). Flex/pull the cover out and away from the softener at these clips.
- There are two similar clips holding the front of the cover on as well. Slide the cover towards you to release these clips. Be careful not to disconnect any wires. It's normal for the plastic cover to produce some noise as it shifts and bends.
2. By removing the top cover, you’re also removing the salt lid because they're connected.
If you need to remove the faceplate (screen) as well, continue to step 3.
3. The faceplate with the screen will be connected to the water softener. To take the faceplate off the support you'll need to pull it upwards and off.
4. Once it is off, perform your needed task.
5. Now that you’ve completed your task, you’ll want to put everything back together. You can easily do this by just reversing the instructions! All you need to do here is put the faceplate back on and then your top cover back on. You did it! Nice job!
