Programming Backwash Controls
Setting The 24-Hour Timer
Press and hold the red button in to disengage the drive gear. Turn
the large dial until the actual time of day is opposite the time of
day pointer. Release the red button to re-engage the drive gear.
Determining The Backwash Frequency
The following table can be used to help determine the frequency of
regeneration. Use this table as a guide – individual circumstances
will require more or less frequent regenerations.
To set a neutralizing filter follow the table under mild conditions.
NOTE:
Add one person if you have a dishwasher.
Setting The Backwash Frequency
The filter control features a skipper wheel with twelve
numbered tabs and trip fingers. Each represents one
day of a twelve day schedule. By adjusting the
skipper wheel tabs, the control can be programmed to
backwash every second, third, fourth, sixth or twelfth
day, according to your requirements.
The control is shipped with all the skipper wheel tabs
pushed outwards. You must push the tabs in toward
the center of the wheel (retracting the trip finger) for
each day that backwashing is not required.
Rotate the skipper wheel until number “1” is at the pointer, leave this tab out. Moving clockwise round the skipper wheel adjust
the remaining tabs using the following table as a guide.
Manual Regeneration
Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise. This slight movement of the manual regeneration knob engages the
program wheel and starts the regeneration process. The back center knob will make one revolution in approximately
three hours and stop in the position shown in the drawing. Actual backwash time is 14 minutes. In any event, treated
water may be drawn after rinse water stops flowing from the filter’s drain line.
