-
Only use thread seal tape
(such as Teflon® tape)
for fitting connections into unit.
DO NOT USE pipe dope or
chemical sealants to make connections
-
If water pipes are used to ground electrical system, install jumper wire
(#4 gauge solid copper wire) across the unit
to maintain proper grounding of your electrical system
-
Do not use Vaseline or other petroleum-based lubricants on seals
-
Protect your unit from freezing
- drain the unit if freezing temperatures exist.
-
NOTE:
IF SOLDER TYPE FITTINGS ARE USED DO NOT USE torch near inlet/outlet connections.
All solder joints
should be made before joining pipe to filter head. Use only lead-free solder and flux.
-
DO NOT over-tighten
metal fittings on to unit connections.
-
You will need POT-PERM (Potassium Permanganate) with this unit (included with model CGFE948).
NOTE:
After the
first 3 or 4 days of use, this unit will not work without POT-PERM in the chemical tank
. POT-PERM can be ordered
from the same retailer where you purchased this unit
-
Place the unit on a flat level surface. Do not place shims under the unit to level it. The weight of the unit full of
water and salt can cause the cabinet to crack at the shim.
-
The unit should only be moved by 2 or more people due to heavy weight, or it can result in back or other injury.
-
The unit must be installed in an area where there is reasonable access to the chemical tank and service, if required.
How to check well pump flow rate
(must be more than 5 GPM (19 LPM).
Make sure that the pressure tank is full and no one uses any water until you have finished the test.
1)
Connect a hose to an appropriate outlet at the bottom of the pressure tank and put the other end into an empty
pail of known volume (e.g. a 10 gal pail)
2)
Open the valve to which the hose is connected and collect water into the container. Shut off the valve as soon as
you hear the well pump come on. Measure the volume of water collected. This is the drawdown from the tank.
3)
Note the time in seconds that it takes for the pump to complete a cycle from start to shut-off.
Well pump flow rate = (Volume of water collected (drawdown) ÷Time for pump cycle) x 60
EXAMPLE
:
If you collect 5 gal of water and the pump takes 40 seconds to complete a cycle, the flow rate is:
(5/40) x 60 = 7.5 GPM.

INSTALLATION
Electrical Requirements:
The automatic control valve requires a constant power supply - 120V/60 Hz AC. We recommend a GFI (ground fault
interrupter) outlet within 5 feet of the Greensand Filter. Extension cords are not recommended.
If water pipes are used to ground electrical system, you will need to install a jumper wire across the filter unit.

1)
Main filter tank

7)
POT-PERM (Potassium
Permanganate) jug (included
with model CGFE948). For
