Start-Up Procedures—900NF Acid Neutralizing Filter
Important
The
WaterBoss
®
900NF Acid Neutralizing Filter is capable of elevating a low pH condition (acid) in your water.
Install, set up, and use the filter within the operating limits outlined in this manual. Failure to comply with these
specifications may decrease the effectiveness of the backwash and cause control
valve malfunction.
Step 1
Plug in the Transformer
A.
Plug the transformer into an appropriate outlet.
B.
Ensure that the outlet selected is NOT operated by an On/Off
switch.
Step 2
Program the Regeneration Cycle
To ensure reliable performance and optimum efficiency, program the regeneration cycle
(backwash) to occur every one to two days based on local conditions. On the controller, set the
frequency and time of day for regeneration to occur. Follow the instructions provided in
Setting
the Controller
.
Step 3
Start the Regeneration Cycle
Before placing the filter in service, backwash the filter to remove fine media particles in the filter
bed. To backwash the filter, start the regeneration cycle as follows:
A.
Press and hold the Regenerate button until the controller indicates 01 (flashing). The
regeneration cycle begins.
B.
Regeneration is complete after seven minutes, and the appliance returns to Service position.
The controller will display a 01 or 02. This number is the days until the next regeneration.
Step 4
Adjust Water Softener Hardness Setting
Typically, hardness will increase by two to four grains after passing through the neutralizing filter
(0.13–0.26 grams). If you have a water softener, after implementing the start-up steps for the
acid neutralizing filter:
A.
Test the hardness of the water before it enters the water softener.
B.
Reset the hardness setting appropriately on the water softener.
Note:
The appliance requires periodic (annual) replenishment of the neutralizing media that
adjusts the pH level of the water. See
900NF Acid Neutralizing Filter Replenishment Procedure
