Water Pressure: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure
(psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum pressure 100 psi.
Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem
with sand or sediment in the water. (This problem occasionally
occurs in public water supplies.) Sand and sediment may plug
the filter, restricting the flow through the media bed. Note: Well
and/or pump problems affecting the operation of the filter and
repairs are not covered under the warranty.
Electrical: A continuous 110 volt/60 cycle current supply is
required. Make certain the current supply is uninterrupted and
cannot be turned off with another switch. All electrical connec-
tions must be connected per local codes.
Surge protection is
recommended with all electrical controls.
Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing must be
free from lime and iron build-up. Piping that is built-up heavily
with lime and/or iron must be replaced. If piping is blocked with
iron, additional equipment may be needed ahead of the filter to
correct the problem.
Drain Line: The filter should be located close to a drain. Avoid
overhead drain lines if possible to prevent back pressure. Over-
head drains are not to exceed 8 feet above the floor and no more
than 20 feet in length. The pipe size for the drain line should be
a minimum of 3/4”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 10 gpm
or length in excess of 20’ require 1” drain line.
Bypass Valves: Always provide for the installation of a bypass
valve.
Caution: Water temperature is not to exceed 110°F; the filter
cannot be subject to freezing conditions, or to a vacuum due to
loss of pressure (such as a water main break).
