Maintenance 

Care of Your System

 

To  retain  the  attractive  appearance  of  your  new  water  filter,  clean  occasionally  with  mild 
soap solution.  Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.  Never subject your sof-
tener to freezing or to temperatures above 100°F. 

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. 
 
1. Periodically make sure your pump is performing satisfactorily to ensure sufficient water is 

available for backwashing the filter. 

2. Periodically  test  your  raw  and  filtered  water  to  ensure  conditions  are  still  the  same  for 

your original settings and that the unit is working they way it is intended to.  Water test-
ing is often the best way to determine when the filter media will require replacement. 

3. Periodically check that the drain line is clear and free from any obstructions. 

NE  -  Neutralizing  Filter 

- the media bed in a neutralizing filter is slowly dissolved and has 

to be replaced. The frequency of replacement varies, depending on water quality - consult 
your dealer to determine the expected life of your media bed. 
 

AC  -  Taste  and  Odor  Filter 

- under normal operating conditions the effective life of the 

filter  media  is  approximately  one  to  three  years,  depending  on  the  water  quality,  after 
which, taste and odor problems may return. When this happens, contact your dealer for a 
replacement media bed. 
 

MM  -  Sediment  and  Turbidity  Filter 

- under normal operating conditions, the media 

should never need to be replaced. However, if you experience pressure loss and cannot cor-
rect  it  with  a  manual  regeneration,  your  media  bed  may  need  replacing  -  contact  your 
dealer. 
 

Replacing the Media Bed 

Check to ensure all media parts are received. 
 
The first step in replacing the media bed is to shut off the water supply to the filter. Then 
place the unit into the backwash position to release any pressure in the lines.  At this point, 
you  must  disconnect  the  plumbing  from  the  inlet  and  outlet.    Then  unscrew  the  control 
valve from the fibreglass tank.  Once this has been done, remove the distributor tube.  Then 
you can remove the filter media and two types of gravel from the tank.  The quickest way to 
do this is by simply tipping the tank upside down into a large drum or pail. The tank must 
be rinsed out completely and have no media or gravel left in it at all.
