NOTE:
If the water supply has high turbidity (sand, silt, sediments, etc.) set the filter to regenerate more
often than the table above shows.
C. Set Recharge Time
1. Press the UP or DOWN keypads until the correct
recharge time shows, being sure AM or PM shows
in the display. Default for this display is 12:00 AM.
2. Press the SELECT keypad once to set the days
to recharge and advance to the next set up screen.
II.
Press and hold the RECHARGE keypad for three
seconds until RECHARGE NOW begins to flash in
the display, starting a backwash. This backwash
flushes “fines” from the new mineral, and purges air
and bleach remaining from the sanitizing procedure.
The filter returns to service in about 30 minutes.
III. RESTART THE WATER HEATER:
Turn on the
electric or fuel supply to the water heater, and light
the pilot, if applies.
NOTE:
The water heater is filled with unfiltered water
and as hot water is used, it refills with filtered water.
In a few days, hot water will be fully filtered. To have
fully filtered water immediately, wait until the re-
charge (step II above) is over. Then, drain the water
heater until water runs cold.
IV. THE TIMER IS NOW PROGRAMMED AND
INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
FEATURES / OPTIONS
RECHARGE NOW
-- For an immediate extra back-
wash at any time, use this feature. Press and
hold
in the RECHARGE keypad for three seconds until
RECHARGE NOW begins to flash in the display. The
filter backwashes for 25 minutes, followed by a 5
minute fast rinse cycle. Then the filter returns to ser-
vice.
VACATION
-- The day you leave on vacation, or oth-
er long absence, press (DO NOT HOLD IN) the RE-
CHARGE keypad.
VAC
begins to flash in the
display. The timer will keep time, but the filter will not
backwash and waste water.
NOTE:
While in the VACATION setting, the filter
will
go through a backwash if the RECHARGE NOW
feature is used (see above).
WHEN YOU RETURN, press the RECHARGE key-
pad again to return the filter to service, and the cor-
rect time of day will show in the display.
Remember
to do this or the filter will not backwash and you
will have unfiltered water.
The default settings for backwash (25 minutes) and
fast rinse (5 minutes) cycles of regeneration are fac-
tory set for maximum performance of the filter. Use
the following procedures to check for correct cycle
times, or to change if desired. However, only trained
technicians should change the time settings.
