WATER BYPASS
MANUAL BYPASS
In case of an emergency such as softener maintenance, you can isolate your
water softener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the
back of the control.
In normal operation the bypass is open with the ON/OFF knobs in line with
the INLET and OUTLET pipes. To isolate the softener, simply rotate the knobs
clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS and arrow) until they lock.
You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the water supply is
bypassing the softener. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume
treated service, open the bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.
Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open otherwise the
unsoftened water could bypass through the valve.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
WATER HEATER
After completing the installation of the chemical free iron softener
system, clean the water heater by following these instructions:
1.
Shut off energy supply to water heater and close heater inlet water
valve.
2.
Drain hot water tank completely. Open inlet water valve allowing
heater tank to be refilled with conditioned water. Continue flushing
until water runs clear to drain.
3.
If, after approximately 30 minutes flushing, water does NOT clear,
terminate flushing operation. Refill hot water heater with water and
pour approximately 1/2 gallon of household bleach into top of heater
tank. Allow bleach solution to stand in tank for 20 to 30 minutes.
Flush tank again until water is clear at drain. Turn energy supply on.
4.
If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a
long period of time, replacement of the heater tank may be the only
practical solution to prevent continued staining originating from this
source.
TOILET FLUSH TANKS
Prior to commencing installation of the Softener
system, pour 4 to 6 ounces of resin mineral cleaner
Pro-Rust Out or inhibited muriatic acid into flush tanks
and bowls and let stand. When installation is completed,
flush toilets several times with iron-free water. If iron
deposits or stains remain, repeat procedure until clear.
If water does not become clear in approximately
10 minutes, water heater should probably
be replaced.
NOTE
SOFTENER
1.
Disconnect brine draw line from the brine cabinet. Place the loose end into a
five gallon plastic pail filled with a solution of warm water and 4 oz. of resin
mineral cleaner.
2.
Manually advance control timer to brine draw position (refer to page 16
step 4 chart). Allow all the warm mineral cleaner solution to be drawn into
mineral bed.
Then immediately...
3.
Close main water supply valve or turn power off to pump and proceed with
softener installation. During time required to install softener system,
iron- fouled softener resin will be chemically cleaned.
4.
After softener installation is completed and final adjustments are made
with the water turned on and brine draw tube reconnected, manually
reprogram timer on softener to backwash setting. Allow timer to perform
an automatic regeneration cycle. During backwash of softener all iron
cleaned from the resin will be washed down the drain. It is advisable after
chemically cleaning softener to regenerate system twice to fully restore
capacity lost due to iron fouling.
