4. Set the days of backwash desired and the time of day as follows:
How to set the day on which the water filter is to backwash:
Rotate the skipper wheel until the number “1" is at the
red pointer. Set the days that the backwash is to occur on by sliding tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose trip
fingers. Each tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise from the red pointer, extend or retract
fingers to obtain the desired backwash schedule. (See diagram.) If you want to backwash every day, you would slide all
the tabs out. Every other day would extend out tab numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 (or 6 tabs). Every three days would extend tab
numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 (or 3 tabs). Every 6 days would extend tab numbers 6 & 12 (or 2 tabs). Every 12 days would extend
tab number 12 only.
How to set the time of day:
Press and hold the black button on the left side of the control valve in to disengage the drive
gear. Turn the large gear (not the knob) in the center until the actual time of day appears in the “Time of Day” window at
the bottom. Release the black button to again engage the drive gear. Make sure the “AM” and “PM” is correct for your
situation. The starting time for backwash is preset to be about 1:00 a.m. the backwash and rinse cycles are also preset.
(See diagram.)
How to manually backwash your water filter at any time:
Turn the manual backwash knob clockwise until you can
read “Start Cycle”. The unit will automatically continue through the backwash cycle and then return to the “In Serv”
position when complete.
