2AJQ Replenishment Procedure
2AJQ Replenishment Procedure,Cont.
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 2AJQ.
Tools and Materials Needed
The following tools and materials are needed to replace the neutralizing media:
●
●
Analog scale (do not use digital)
●
●
5-gallon bucket with handle
●
●
1/2-inch siphon hose
●
●
12-inch wooden ruler or dowel rod
●
●
Steel tape measure
●
●
Replacement media (P/N 100242302)
●
●
Funnel with 1-inch fill tube
●
●
3/4-inch socket

Turn Off the Water
A.
Turn off the water to the appliance.
B.
Open a tap to depressurize the appliance.

Close the tap.
Remove Water From Media Tank
A.
Remove the fill plug from the media tank using a 3/4-inch
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.
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-inch (12 cm).
B.
Add five pounds (2.3 kg) of media per inch (2.5 cm) below
4-3/4-inches (12 cm).
Add Replenishment Media
A.
Weigh the replenishment media.
B.
Place the funnel into the fill port.
C.
Pour the media into the funnel to fill the tank with the measured amount of media.
Refill Tank With Water
A.
Open the main water valve.
B.
Slowly fill the tank with water up to the bottom of the fill port.
C.
Turn off the water.
Replace Fill Plug
A.
Make sure the threads of the fill port are clean.
B.
Replace the fill plug.
Caution:
Do not overtighten the fill plug.
Check for Leaks
A.
Turn on the water to re-pressurize the appliance.
B.
Check for leaks.
C.
Fix any leaks.
Figure 5: Max Freeboard Amount
Example:
Measured Freeboard
6-3/4 inches (17.1cm)
Minus factory Freeboard -4-3/4 inches (12.1cm)
Adjusted Freeboard
2 inches (5.0cm)
Replenishment equals
5lb (2.3 kg) media x 2 inches (2.5 cm) (adjusted freeboard) = 10lb (4.5kg) media.
