How to Remove Media Accidentally Stuck in Control Head
Sometimes, when doing the Initial Backwash and Start-Up only
, the media can get lifted into
the control head.
You can tell this has happened because you will have little or no flow, either going out to drain
while in the backwash position, or when in the service position.
1) Put the Inlet Bypass in the Closed position.
2) From Service Mode, initiate a manual regeneration, by pressing and holding regen button.
3) The valve will advance to the BW (backwash) position and start counting down. Press the
Regen button again and wait for the valve to advance and stop at the Rapid Rinse (RR) position.
4) With the valve in the RR position, open and close the Inlet Bypass valve several times.
5) With the Inlet Valve OFF, Advance the valve back to Service position again, and again press
and hold the Regen button, we are putting the valve back to the Backwash position.
6) Open the Inlet valve just enough so you can hear the water passing thru the valve- you
should notice a corresponding slow flow out of the drain line.
Any time that you are in the Backwash or Rapid Rinse position, you may unplug the power, and
this will hold the valve in its current position, so it doesn’t ‘time out’ and go to next position.
When you plug the valve back in, after a minute it will return to where it was when you
unplugged it (i.e. 2:32 remaining in BW).
It is not possible to jam media into the head while in Rapid Rinse, or Service, just in the
Backwash, when the flow direction is reversed and
only during initial start-up
.
What you are trying to accomplish, after you have pushed the media back in to the tank in the
Rapid Rinse position, is to get the Inlet valve all the way open in the Backwash position, without
it jamming media back in the head.
Once it does that successfully, you are done.
