Sizing and Operating Requirements Water Pressure The water system must have a pump big enough to deliver the recommended backwash rate with a minimum pressure at the inlet of the filter of 20 psi (137 kPa). If the existing system cannot do this, it must be upgraded to do so. Whenever possible, the water system should be adjusted to deliver at least 30 psi (206.8 kPa) for even more satisfactory results. Maximum pressure should not exceed 100 psi (689 kPa).
1. Place the iron filter and the chemical feeder container on a flat surface in desired location, near a drain and 120 volt AC outlet. Subjecting your filter to freezing or to water temperatures above 110°F (43°C) will void the warranty. NOTE: Some units are shipped with the media bed in separate bags.
Operating Instructions Setting the Frequency of Automatic Regeneration Setting the 24 Hour Timer The 24 hour timer must correspond with the correct time of day to ensure proper cycling of your filter. • Disengage the drive gear by pressing and holding in the red button on the left side of the control. • Now turn the large dial until the actual time of day is at the time of day arrow at the bottom of the panel. • Release the red button and check for firm engagement at setting.
To determine the frequency of regeneration, use this procedure: Example: 5 x 60 = 300 x 8 = 2400 Total amount of iron to be removed between regenerations ÷ ppm of iron to be removed per day = NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS people in the household gallons of filtered water per person gallons of filtered water per day ppm of iron PPM OF IRON TO BE REMOVED PER DAY Using 948IF-100 + 1 Feeder 6000 ppm capacity ÷ 2400 ppm to be removed per day = 2 DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS Upon delivery of your filter,
Manual Regeneration Cycle If you run out of filtered water because of inadequate regeneration frequency, inadequate reserve capacity, power failure or unusually high water usage, you can initiate a manual regeneration simply by pressing the extra cycle button. The filter will now automatically complete a regeneration cycle and return to service. If possible, avoid water use during the regeneration cycle.
The unit is shipped fully tested and assembled and weighs approximately 7 lbs.
Potassium Permanganate Potassium permanganate refills in 10 lb. (4.5 kg) packages can be obtained from your dealer. Exercise care when handling potassium permanganate. Wear rubber gloves and avoid contact with skin or clothing. Avoid inhaling. Clean any spillage immediately. Stains can be cleaned with a mild solution of sodium hydrosulfite (Pro-Rust Out). INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT OF FILTER MEDIA PAK Check to ensure all media parts are received.
Operating Instructions Sounds You will notice new sounds as your filter operates such as the hum of the timer or click of the actuator arm. During regeneration, it will not be uncommon to hear the sounds of water running to the drain. Manual Bypass (Figure 4) In case of an emergency you can isolate your water filter from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. OUTLET In normal operation the bypass is open with the ON/OFF knobs in line with the INLET and OUTLET pipes.
Maintenance Instructions Maintenance of your new water filter requires very little time or effort but it is essential. Regular maintenance will ensure many years of efficient and trouble free operation. PLEASE NOTE: THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED REGULARLY FOR YOUR GUARANTEE TO BE VALID. Cleaning The Injector Assembly (Figure 5) The presence of iron and sediment will restrict and clog the injector assembly which is located on the right hand side of the control valve.
Trouble Shooting Guide PROBLEM 1. Filter fails to regenerate or regenerates at wrong times 2. Filter bleeds iron or odor 3. Filter regenerates every day 4. Iron filter uses too much chemical 5. Loss of water pressure 6. Loss of media through line CAUSE CORRECTION A. Electrical service to unit has been interrupted B. Timer is defective C. Power failure D. Timer motor does not run A. Bypass valve is open B. Container is depleted C. Excessive water usage A.
Trouble Shooting Guide Cont’d PROBLEM 7. Iron filter fails to draw chemical 8. Drain flows continuously 9. Pink color (potassium permanganate) present after regeneration; medicinal water taste CAUSE CORRECTION A. Drain line flow control is A. Clean drain line flow control plugged B.
