In normal operation, the Time of Day display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining display. This display will be in gallons. As treated water is used, the Volume Remaining display will count down from a maximum value to zero or (---). Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the Set Regeneration Time. Water flow through the valve is indicated by the Flow Dot that will flash in direct relationship to flow rate.
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 Service Indicator: Flow Indicator: Valve in Service - Dot On Extra Cycle Tonight - Flashing Dot Flashing Dot With Water Flow P.M. Indicator Set Up Button Set Down Button Figure 3 The valve has been pre-programmed with factory settings as follows: Regeneration Cycle Step Programming 1. Backwash ..................................10 minutes 2. Brine Rinse ..................................50 minutes 3. Rapid Rinse ................................10 minutes 4. Brine Refill .........
Operating Instructions Whenever the valve is in Service the current time of day can be set, the control programmed, or an extra regeneration initiated at any time. Service Indicator: Flow Indicator: Valve In Service - Dot On Extra Cycle Tonight - Flashing Dot Flashing Dot with Water Flow P.M. Indicator Set Up Button Set Down Button Push either the Up or Down Set Button once to adjust Time of Day Display by one digit.
Program Mode Indicator: Program Mode Entered - Dot On Set Up Button Extra Cycle Button Set Down Button 1. The first option setting display that appears in the Program Mode is Treated Water Capacity. Using the Set Up or Down Buttons, set the amount of treated water that can flow through the unit before a regeneration is required. For Example: 650 Gallons Capacity Service Program • 650 Flow P.M. 2. Push the Extra Cycle Button. The second option setting display that appears is Regeneration Time.
To determine the frequency of regeneration, use this procedure: Days: Total amount of iron to be removed between regenerations ÷ ppm of iron to be removed per day = NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS Example: x = x = 5 60 300 8 2400 people in the household gallons of filtered water per person gallons of filtered per day ppm of iron PPM OF IRON TO BE REMOVED PER DAY Using 5600 SEM-948IF + 1 Feeder ÷ = 6000 2400 2 ppm capacity ppm to be removed per day DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS Setting the Frequenc
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.
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.
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. Injectors and/or screen plugged B. Clean or replace injectors and/or screen C. Line pressure is too low C. Maintain line pressure at 20 psi (139.9 kPa) minimum D. Internal control leak D.
