Water Filter is designed to perform efficiently on a wide range of water supplies. Before the unit can be
recharged and put into service, several settings must be made.
Backwash Step
Backwash expands and loosens the media bed, and flushes away accumulated particulate matter. The backwash interval is preset
at the factory for 10 minutes, which is adequate for most water supplies. It is recommended that backwash last just long enough so
that the effluent from the drain line is clear. Backwash too long and water is wasted, not long enough and the tank becomes fouled
with sediment. Refer to the Programming section to increase or decrease the backwash interval.
Pause Step
The Medallist Water Filter shares its timer with other water conditioning products which would use this period for the eduction and
rinsing of salt, or other regenerant chemical. The pause step duration is 2 minutes.
Rapid Rinse Step
Rapid rinse settles and compacts the media after backwashing and flushes any residual particulate matter from the bottom of the
filter bed before returning the filter to service. Rapid rinse is set at the factory at 10 minutes. It may be extended, if desired. Refer
to the Programming section to increase or decrease the rapid rinse interval.
