INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CBF SERIES RESIDENTIAL BACKWASH FILTRATION SYSTEMS MODELS: CBF100 CBF150 CBF200 CBF200 CJ-L Installer, please leave with homeowner. Homeowner, retain for future reference.
SAFETY INFORMATION Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use of the CBF Series Residential Backwash Filtration Systems. Retain these instructions for future reference. Failure to follow installation, operation and maintenance instructions may result in property damage and will void warranty.
TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION DESCRIPTION 1 BEFORE INSTALLATION 2 INSTALLATION 3 MAINTENANCE 4 TROUBLESHOOTING 5 SPECIFICATION AND OPERATING DATA 6 COMPONENT PARTS LIST 7 LIMITED WARRANTY • Professional Installation Required: Installation requires shutting water off to home, cutting home water supply pipe and using a soldering torch to add piping and fittings. Specialized tools and skills are required. Not a do-it-yourself type of project.
Neutralizer Blend Neutralizer media is typically a blend of calcium carbonate (calcite) and magnesium oxide (Corosex®). This media is used to elevate the pH of acid water and is generally used when the pH is approximately 6.0-6.5. The filter media dissolves when water with a low pH passes through. The blend is used to take advantage of the fast, vigorous pH adjusting capabilities of Corosex and the slow, long-lasting capabilities of the calcite.
Check Your Water Pressure And Pumping Rate: Two water system conditions must be checked carefully to avoid unsatisfactory operation or equipment damage: 1) Minimum water pressure required at the filter tank inlet is 20 psi (138 kPa). CAUTION To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage: • Do not install if water pressure exceeds 100 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve.
Facts To Remember While Planning Your Installation: CAUTION • Installation must comply with existing state or local plumbing codes 1) If lawn sprinkling, geothermal heating/cooling or water for other devices/activities are to be treated by the CBF Series Residential Backwash Filtration System, a larger model system must be selected to accommodate the higher flow rate demands of these items.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the following diagram for your particular water supply. FILTERED WATER FILTERED SOFT WATER PRESSURE TANK BRINE MAKER RAW WELL WATER SOFTENER FILTER PRESSURE SWITCH.
IMPORTANT NOTES • Damage due to heat is not covered under the manufacturers warranty and will void the warranty. • The use of flexible drain lines are prohibited in some states, check with your local code officer for requirements. Distance and height affects the performance of the drain line to discharge at the proper rate to effectively backwash the filter media. The following are guidelines for drain line size installation. Do not bend the drain line too sharply if using flexible tubing.
Step 4 Please refer to page 6-1 for Component Parts List. Once the filter media has been loaded, completely fill the media tank with water using a pail or water hose to saturate the media and expel any air out of the media tank. Some media require a saturation time to prevent washing it from the media tank to the waste drain upon start-up. Refer to Figure 5, page 2-4 for saturation time. Remove red cap from distributor tube.
Step 11 Determination of backwash frequency will vary by media used, the amount of water used and the amount of contaminant in the water. Most media should backwash once every four days in Backwash Filtration Systems containing activated carbon. If pressure drops become undesirable or the contaminant reappears, increase the frequency to correct. For media tanks containing Calcite or Corosex, the frequency should be once every other day to help prevent cementing of the media in the media tank.
HOW TO SET TIME OF DAY STEP 1 Press SET HOUR and release. STEP 2 Set the clock display to the closest hour by pressing the PM hours. or . An arrow will appear in the display pointing to PM during STEP 3 Press SET HOUR to return to the display mode. Note: After an extended power outage the time of day may need to be reset. HOW TO MANUALLY INITIATE IMMEDIATE REGENERATION STEP 1 Press and hold and buttons simultaneously until valve motor starts (usually about three (3) seconds).
HOW TO CHANGE DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATION STEP 1 Press and hold SET HOUR and buttons simultaneously for three (3) seconds and release. STEP 2 Press SET HOUR button. STEP 3 Press and buttons to change the number of days between regenerations. STEP 4 Press SET HOUR to return to the display mode. Note: Your Backwash Filtration System is factory preset for 4 days between regenerations.
Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation The AC adapter comes with a 15 foot power cord that is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter is for dry location use only. If the power goes out, only the time of day needs to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory. The following chart shows the time for the backwash and rapid rinse cycles for the three available programming options.
Section 3: MAINTENANCE 1) At least every six months you should check the time of day setting. Power outages of two (2) hours or less will not affect the time clock as the control valve has the ability to hold the correct time of day due to a capacitor on the printed circuit board. Power outages of more than two (2) hours will require the resetting of clock to the correct time. Refer to Page 2-5 to resolve.
SECTION 4: TROUBLESHOOTING Problem 1) Timer does not display time of day. Possible Cause Transformer is unplugged 1) Reconnect Transformer B) No power at outlet 1) Repair working outlet 2) Check circuit breaker in main power box.
Problem 10) 11) 12) Water leaking from media tank Time of day flashes on and off Valve stalled in regeneration Possible Cause A) Media tank was subjected to a 1) vacuum condition Replace media tank and check to see that either a check valve or back flow prevention device is installed and operating B) Media tank is damaged 1) Contact installing contractor to have evaluated and replaced C) Pin hole in media tank 1) Contact installing contractor to have evaluated and replaced A) Power has bee
