62AJQ Replenishment Procedure
The neutralizing media that adjusts the pH level of the water must be refilled periodically. Typically, this media
is calcite and is available from Hague. To refill the neutralizing media, measure the appliance’s media bed
depth upon installation (factory freeboard). Use this measurement to determine the amount of media to add to
maintain optimum performance of the 62AJQ.
Tools and Materials Needed
The following tools and materials are needed to replace the neutralizing media:
•
Analog scale (do not use digital)
•
1/2" siphon hose
•
Steel tape measure
•
Funnel with 1" fill tube
•
5-gallon bucket with handle
•
12" wooden ruler or dowel rod
•
Replacement media (P/N M050)
•
3/4" socket
Replenishment Procedure
The replenishment procedure is as follows:
Step 1
Turn Off the Water
A.
Turn off the water to the appliance.
B.
Open a tap to depressurize the appliance.
C.
Close the tap.
Step 2
Remove Water From Media Tank
A.
Remove the fill plug from the media tank using a
3/4" socket.
B.
Insert the siphon hose into the fill port.
C.
Siphon the water into the bucket down to the media
level in the tank.
Step 3
Calculate Amount of Media to Add
A.
Measure the freeboard distance from the top of the
fill plug to the media. See Figure 5.
Note: The recommended freeboard distance is
4-3/4".
B.
Add five pounds of media per inch below 4-3/4".
Example:
Measured freeboard
6-3/4"
Minus factory freeboard
- 4-3/4"
Adjusted freeboard
2"
Replenishment equals 5 lb media x 2" (adjusted freeboard)
= 10 lb media.
