Control Operation During Programming The control will only enter the Program Mode with the valve in Service. While in the Program Mode, the control will continue to operate normally, monitoring water usage and keeping all displays up to date. Control programming is stored in memory permanently, eliminating the need for battery back-up power. Meter Immediate Control A meter immediate control measures water usage and regenerates the system as soon as the calculated system capacity is depleted.
Before Installation Inspection and Handling of Your Chemical Free Iron Filter Inspect the equipment for any visible shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection. Damage to cartons should also be noted. Handle the filter unit with care. Damage can result if the unit is dropped or set on sharp, uneven projections on the floor. Do not turn the filter unit upside-down.
Checking 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. If pressure is over 100 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed in the water supply line ahead of the Mazzei injector. NOTE: If you have a municipal or community water supply and daytime water pressure is 85 psi or more, nighttime pressure may exceed 100 psi.
Facts to Remember When Planning Your Installation 1. All installation procedures must conform to local and state plumbing codes. 2. All water must pass through the Mazzei injector, pressure tank and the filter or refer to the special instructions for a split-stream installation. (System may malfunction if this instruction is ignored.) 3.
Typical Installations Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the following diagrams for your particular water supply. NOTE: Before starting installation, read Page 9, Plumbing System Clean-Up, for instructions on some procedures that may need to be performed first. 1. Shut off all water at main supply. On a private well system, turn off power to pump and drain pressure tank.
7. Make sure the bypass valve is in the service position. 8. Plug the 24-volt transformer into a 120 VAC 60 Hz outlet. This valve has four positions: 1) Backwash 2) Brine/Rinse (not used) 3) Rapid Rinse and 4) Brine Refill (not used). When the valve is in the Service position, the extra cycle button (far left button as shown on Figure 5) must be pressed and held for 5 seconds before it activates. Press and hold the extra cycle button for 5 seconds to advance the valve to the “1” Backwash position.
Operating Instructions The valve has been pre-programmed with factory settings as follows: Regeneration Cycle Step Programming 1. Backwash ..................................6 minutes 2. Brine Rinse ..................................0 minutes (not used) 3. Rapid Rinse ................................4 minutes 4. Brine Refill ..................................

Error Codes Note: Error codes appear on the In Service display Error Code Probable Cause Recover and Resetting [Err 0] Drive motor is stalled Unplug the unit from the power source [Err 1] Drive motor is running continuously When power is restored to the unit, the Err _ display code clears. If the condition causing the error has not been resolved the Err _ code reappears in the four digit display. Do not attempt to troubleshoot this problem any further.
To determine the frequency of regeneration, use this procedure: Setting the Frequency of Automatic Regeneration (SXT Models) Please enter the ppm of compensated iron per gallon of water to be removed. See Step #4 of “User Programming.” The SXT valve will automatically calculate the number of gallons of water to be treated by the iron filter between regenerations.
Special Instructions for Split-Stream and Public Water Supply Installations For a split-stream installation, a secondary pressure tank must be installed as shown in the split-stream installation diagram (Page 4). On a public water supply installation, a pressure tank must be installed as shown in the public water supply installation diagram (Page 4).
Water Heater If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater tank may be the only practical solution to prevent continued staining originating from this source. After completing the installation of the chemical free iron filter, clean the water heater by following these instructions: 1. Shut off the energy supply to the water heater and close the heater inlet water valve. 2. Drain hot water tank completely.
Automatic Bypass Your filter is factory set to backwash at 11:00 p.m. during a period of little or no water use. The backwash cycle lasts approximately 15 minutes, after which filtered water service is restored. While backwashing is taking place, raw water automatically bypasses the filter if required. If possible, avoid using water during backwashing to prevent iron-laden water from entering your household plumbing system.
Trouble Shooting Guide PROBLEM 1. Water clear when drawn; turns red upon standing (stain producing) CAUSE A. Insufficient air drawn by the Mazzei injector B. Bypass open or leaking C. Filter bed overloaded with precipitated iron due to insufficient backwash D. Presence of manganese or tannins E. Flow rate excessive for model F. Check valve located between Mazzei injector and pressure tank, disrupting water flow. G. Pumping cycle too short 2. Water red when drawn from tap A.
