Your responsibilities as an equipment owner
Your Patriot Twin Analyst System is manufactured to be efficient and reliable. To ensure continued perfor-
mance while keeping your system operating within manufacturer’s specifications, the following operating con-
ditions must be ensured by you, the equipment owner/operator:
Water Pressure Regulator
The influent water pressure into this water system must be regulated by a code-compliant pressure-regulating
device not to exceed 75psi.
Power Protection
Power to this system must be supplied by an unswitched 110VAC supply. Surge protection is mandatory and is
to be supplied by you, the equipment owner. The use of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is encouraged.
Salt
This water system uses either sodium or potassium salt to clean itself. The brine tank must be filled with a high
quality pellet or cubed salt to ensure system operation. Rock salt is usually not suitable for this system, as it can
contain higher levels of impurities that can require more frequent disinfection and can possibly even compro-
mise system functionality. Consult with your local water professional to decide on the best salt for your applica-
tion.
Pur-Gard
The Pur-Gard injection feeder should be kept full to ensure proper system operation and maximum efficiency.
Pur-Gard works synergistically with the water softening media to ensure the very best water quality and to max-
imize cleaning power. Check the level of your Pur-Gard feeder each time you fill your brine tank with salt.
Annual Cleaning and Disinfection
Bacteria can colonize water softeners through safe city water, salt, or even ambient air. Weekly antibacterial
rinses and supplementation with Pur-Gard help minimize bacterial growth, your system should be cleaned and
disinfected on a regular schedule to ensure peak performance and protect the safety of you family. Your local
dealer can perform the cleaning and disinfection service for you, or you can purchase a comprehensive cleaning
and disinfection kit to perform this task yourself.
Periodic replacement of media
While built to the highest standards, certain media in your Patriot Twin Analyst System will need to be replaced
periodically by your local authorized service agent. Replacement intervals vary depending on your water chem-
istry and water consumption habits. Consult with your water specialist during your annual inspection/tune-up
service to ensure that you enjoy the very best water quality.
