OTHER FEATURES
Control Operation during a Power Failure
•
In the event of a power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The
programmed settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure. If
power fails while the unit is in backwash, the valve will finish backwash after power is restored. If the
valve misses a scheduled backwash due to a power failure, it will queue backwash at the next backwash
time once power is restored.
New Sounds
•
You may notice new sounds as your iron filter operates. The backwash cycle lasts approximately 15
minutes. During this time, you may hear water running intermittently to the drain.
Care of Your Iron Filter
•
To retain the attractive appearance of your new Iron Filter, clean occasionally with mild soap solution. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.
