Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in
several forms including tablets and granules. These solid materials
may be used directly without dissolving before use.
1. Dosage
A. Two grains (approximately 0.1 ounce (3 mL) per cubic
foot.
2. Regenerant tank conditioners
A. Backwash the conditioner and add the required
amount of hypochlorite to the well of the regenerant
tank. The regenerant tank should have water in it
to permit the chlorine solution to be carried into the
conditioner.
B. Proceed with the normal regeneration.
Care and Use of your Brine Tank
Each time the system recharges, salty water (brine) is needed
to recondition the media in the water tank. The brine is pulled
from the salt tank at a controlled amount. If the salt tank does not
contain enough salt, the brine is weak, the media will not fully
recondition and untreated water will pass through.
You must keep salt in the tank.
The brine tank operates best when the salt level is below half-full.
If the tank is filled more than that the salt pellets may "bridge".
The salt pellets wedge against each other and do not fall into
the water at the bottom. Bridging will eventually provide no salt
to make brine. The softener will recharge but not recondition
the media. A salt bridge can be broken up using a broom handle
or similar rod. Carefully pound it into the salt and the pellets
will collapse. After loosening the salt pellets wait 2 hours and
start a regeneration. A second recharge may be needed to fully
recondition the media.
You should only use sodium chloride pellet salt for water
softeners. Other types of salt (rock or snow melting) will contain
dirt and chemicals that will affect your water softener.
Keep the brine tank covered.
Empty and clean the tank every 3 years.
WC300 Controller
Power Loss Memory Retention
The controller features battery-free time and date retention during
the loss of power. This is designed to last a minimum of eight
hours depending on the installation. The controller will continue
to keep time and day in dynamic memory while there is no AC
power.
The controller will not track water usage on volumetric demand
controls in the event of a power failure.
All programmed parameters are stored in the static memory and
will not be lost in the event of a power failure. These settings are
maintained separately from the time and day settings.
Motor
The controller uses a standard 12-volt AC motor that works with
either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The same motor is used worldwide and
does not need to be changed for different power conditions.
Controller Memory
Information entered or calculated by the controller is stored in two
different ways.
A static memory will store:
Model number
Regenerant setting
Time of regeneration
Days between regeneration
Filter mode
A dynamic memory with 8 hour retention will store:
Current day of week
Running clock
Note:
Water flow to the valve can be turned on or bypassed
when the controller is powered up for the first time.
