What is the pH range of the media? What is the low and high pH range?
The Media works in a range of 6 to 9 pH, and is highly recommended to be used at that range to avoid any
malfunction to the system.
However, we also found that it works at 5.5 pH as well. (We always recommend that you do a pilot to find
out if your water is below 6 pH).
How can I destroy the media or can it get fouled? What special precautions should I take?
Hydrogen sulfide, concentrated nitric acid, and oil in the water can foul the media. No special precautions
is needed, as the media is not hazardous, so skin contact with the media is harmless.
Why do I occasionally get water spots on my dishes using the dishwasher?
Many commercial dishwashing detergent products contain toxic chlorine and harsh phosphates, which will
sometimes cause water spots even when a water softener is used.
We highly recommend using the Automatic Dishwashing Detergents by Seventh Generation. This special
detergent uses a unique nontoxic polymer formula, and is free of toxic chlorine and harsh phosphates,
leaving dishes and glassware spotless in an eco-friendly way. We have found that the Seventh Generation
detergents works perfect with our Futura Conditioner.
This detergent can be found at most grocery stores or online.
When and how should I replace the media that is in the mineral tank?
The media is strong and can last for 5 years or 600,000 gallons with normal usage. After its estimated use-
ful life, you can just simply replace the old media with new media.
To replace the media, you will need to unscrew the tank head and pull out the tank head assembly. Then,
pour out the old media and refill with the new media.

What is the maximum operating temperature of the FUTURA media?
This material of the media is considered stable under specified conditions of usage. The FUTURA media will
tolerate feed water temperature in between 41-120ยบ F. However, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; beads
may fracture. If frozen, thaw at room temperature.
