PROGRAMMING THE FACEPLATE TIMER
SUGGESTED RECHARGE DAYS
The filter must recharge to clean iron out of the filtering mineral. How often recharge is needed depends on
two things.
1.
The parts per million (PPM) of iron in your water supply and;
2.
The number of people that live in your house.
To use the table, find the ppm iron in your water supply across the top of the table. Read down this column,
and across from the number of people in the household. At the intersecting point, the suggested days to
recharge are shown. Set the recharge days on the timer.

NOTE:
If the water supply has high turbidity (sand, silt, sediments, etc.), manganese or hydrogen sul-
fide, set the filter to recharge more often than the table above shows.

SET RECHARGE TIME
The default setting is 12:00 AM. This is a good time if you have a water softener or another filter installed, the
recharge time should be offset to assure adequate water flow and pressure. For example, set the filter to start
backwash at 12:00 AM, or 4:00 AM, if the water softener is set to begin recharge at 2:00 AM.
If a change is needed, use the
UP or
DOWN buttons to set time.
Press the
SELECT button to set and return to the normal run display.
THE INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING STEPS ARE COMPLETE
NOTE: After you have completed all preceding instructions, your house water supply is filtered immediately.
However,
your water heater is filled with unfiltered water
and, as hot water is used, it will refill with filtered
water. When all the water is replaced in the water heater, all water will be filtered. If you want totally filtered water
immediately, drain the water heater until the water runs cold.
Use extreme care as the hot water could cause
severe burns.
