Component
Suggested Inspection
Frequency
Reason for Maintenance
Entire System
At Startup, after infrequent use (idle
for one week or more) or every 3–6
months if on a private water supply.
On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors,
particularly if musty or “rotten egg” (caused by harmless sul-
fate-reducing bacteria) may indicate a need for the system to
be sanitized.
Backwash Flow
Controller
Every 12 months or every time ser-
vice is performed on the system.
Build up of sediment, iron and/or other foreign materials
(found in some water supplies but not necessarily all) could
negatively affect system performance.Monitor item for normal
(or unexpected) wear.
HE 1.5 Valve
Every 6–12 months or every time
service is performed on the system.
Build up of sediment, iron and/or other foreign materials
(found in some water supplies but not necessarily all) could
negatively affect system performance.Monitor item for normal
(or unexpected) wear.
Application Problems
Many service problems are not due to equipment malfunction, but rather to misapplication or environmental conditions.
The
“Performance Specifications” on page 4
provide the limits of water characteristics for the HE 1.5 water filters.
If the water characteristics fall outside these limits, additional water treatment equipment may be required, or the water
characteristics should be brought inside the limits. The system flow rates and exchange capacities are also listed.
Flow Rates: the backwash should not differ from those in
Appendix B “Flow Diagrams” on page 52
by more than 15
percent.
If there are no apparent general problems or environmental problems, refer to
