Servicing 6200 Valve
Before Servicing
1. Turn off water supply to conditioner :
a. If the conditioner installation has a 3 valve bypass system first open the valve in the bypass line, then close the valves at
the conditioner inlet & outlet.
b. If the conditioner has an integral bypass valve, put it in the bypass position.
c. If there is only a shut-off valve near the conditioner inlet, close it.
2. Relieve water pressure in the conditioner by stepping the control into the backwash position momentarily. Return the
control to the In Service position.
3. Unplug Electrical Cord from outlet.
4. Disconnect drain line connection.
WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER OR ACCESSING ANY
INTERNAL CONTROL PARTS.
CAUTION! Disassembly while under pressure can result in flooding. Always follow these steps prior
to servicing the valve.
1. Estimate daily iron removal requirements using the following calculation:
No. of people in family
x 75 gallons of water per person
+ No. of gallons of water for special use
= No. of gallons of water required per day
x Iron concentration (ppm)
= Daily iron removal requirements (ppm)
2. Establish backwash frequency using daily iron removal requirements to complete the following calculation:
15,000 iron removal capacity (ppm)
÷ Daily iron removal requirements (ppm)
= No. of backwashes required in 12 day schedule
Example: You have four in the family, 8 ppm of iron and a swimming pool requiring 46 gallons of water per day.
4 People in the family
x 75 Gallons of water per person
300 Gallons of water for family
+ 46 Gallons of water for the pool
346 Gallons of water required per day
x 8 Iron concentration
2,768 Daily iron removal requirements (ppm)
15,000 Iron removal capacity (ppm)
÷ 2,768 Daily iron removal requirements (ppm)
5.4 Backwash frequency (days)
The calculation indicates the need to backwash every 5.4 days. The control can only be programmed to backwash at
intervals of two, three, four, six and twelve days. The control would be programmed to the closest more frequent setting
i.e. every four days.
