OPERATING CONDITIONS
Water Heater
If
the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater tank maybe the only practical solution to prevent continued
staining originating from this source. After completing the installation of the chemical free iron filter 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 iron-free 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.
Dishwasher
Consult owners’ handbook and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Toilet Flush Tanks
Prior to commencing installation of the filter 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.
NOTE:
If water does not clear in approximately 10 minutes, water heater should probably be replaced.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Your chem free iron filter requires some minor maintenance to ensure optimum performance and years of trouble-free clean water. The following steps should be performed
once or twice a year (more often under harsh conditions):
1.
Verify the pumping rate of the system - do not refer to a pumping curve for this data. Follow the instructions found on page 7. If the measured pumping rate is less than the
backwash rate of the filter, see page 39, Trouble Shooting.
2.
Have your water tested - for pH, iron and manganese on both the treated and raw water to ensure your water conditions haven’t changed.
3.
Inspect the Control Valve and the piping between the iron filter and the pressure tank to ensure they are not plugged with raw iron. If the line becomes plugged, the flow of
water to the home will be reduced. This will result in a reduction of water available for backwashing the unit which will inhibit operation of the system.
4.
Air-to-water pressure tank - periodically drain and flush your tank to prevent a build-up of precipitated iron from forming in the bottom of the tank.
5.
Bladder tank - periodically check that the bladder air pressure remains at 2 psi lower than the cut-in pressure of your pump.
6.
For applications with low pH, manganese or hydrogen sulfide, consult your local dealer for specific instructions to maintain the efficiency and operation of your filter.
7.
Periodic cleaning of the air vent assembly with mild acid or vinegar will ensure that it continues to vent excess air properly.
8.
The filter tank can be cleaned with a mild soap solution.
9.
Never subject the unit to freezing
Care of Your Filter
To retain the attractive appearance of your new water filter, clean occasionally with a mild soap solution. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents. Never subject your filter to freezing or to temperatures above 43°C (110°F).
Servicing Components
The seals and cartridge should be inspected/cleaned or replaced every year depending on the inlet water
quality and water usage.
The media should be replenished or replaced depending of inlet water quality and water consumption.
Check with your water treatment expert on the media bed change frequency.
Below are some guidelines:
Maintenance Kit should be used for servicing control on an annual basis. The
maintenance kit consists of piston assembly, seals and spacers, injectors.
Please refer to the servicing section of this manual for step by step procedure.
Not following the above will void all warranty on the control valve.
Maintenance of your new water filter requires very little time or effort but it is essential. Regular maintenance will
ensure many years of efficient and trouble free operation.
