Disinfection of Water Conditioners

The construction materials of the water conditioner
system do not support bacterial growth or
contaminated the water supply. However, we
recommend that the conditioners be disinfected after
installation and before the conditioners are used to
treat potable water. In addition, a conditioner can
become fouled with organic matter during normal
usage or with bacteria from the water supply. Periodic
disinfection is recommended for all conditioners. Use
one of the following methods of disinfection based on
operating conditions, style of conditioner, type of ion
exchange, and disinfectant available.

Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite, 5.25% solutions, can be used
with polystyrene resin, synthetic gel zeolite,
greensand, and bentonites and are available under
trade names such as Chlorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White
Sail and Eagle Brand Bleach. Adjust the dosage if
stronger commercial solutions are used.

The recommended dosage for 5.25% solution is:

 

Polystyrene resin: 1.2 fluid ounces per cubic foot.

 

Non-resinous exchangers: 0.8 fluid ounces per
cubic foot.

Complete the following steps to disinfect the
conditioner: Add the sodium hypochlorite solution to
the brine well of the brine tank. Make sure that the
brine tank has water init so the solution is carried into
the conditioner. Proceed with normal regeneration.
Refer to the 

Manual Regeneration

 section for this

manual.

Calcium Hypochlorite

Calcium Hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is
available in several forms including tablets and
granules. These solid materials can be used directly
without dissolving before application.

The recommended dosage for Calcium Hypochlorite
is two grains (approx. 0.1 ounce) per cubic foot.

Complete the following steps to disinfect the
conditioner: Add the Calcium Hypochlorite to the
brine well of the brine tank. Make sure that he brine
tank has water in it so the solution is carried into the
conditioner. Proceed with normal regeneration. Refer
to the 

Manual Regeneration 

section of this manual.

a.  Low water pressure.

b.  Defective Injector.

d.  Put control momentarily into brine refill

To free air check. Replace or repair air
check if needed. Refer to brine line
connection.

8.  Control backwashes at

Excessively low or high
Rate.

a.  Incorrect back wash controller. 

!

b.  Foreign matter effecting controller

b.  Remove and clean controller seat and

Ball.

9.  Flowing or dripping

Water at drain or brine
Line after regeneration.

a.  Drain valve (5 or 6) or brine valve

(1)  held open by foreign matter or
particle.

b.  Weak valve stem return spring on
