SECTION 1 WATER FILTER STAre-UP I I PROGRAM THE TIMER 1D, 3. SET DAYS OF RECHARGE IF YOU HAVE A WATER SOFTENER OR OTHER AUTOMATIC FILTER... A good water flow rate is needed for proper recharging and/or backwashing of all water conditioners• To help assure good water flow, you should offset the timers on each conditioner so recharges do not occur on the same days, or at the same time as follows. •. • Most Sears water softeners are factory set (many are adjustable) to recharge from 2:00 to 4:00 am. • .
SECTION 1 WATER FILTER START-UP I I 1E. ADJUSTMENT ii FOR POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE USE ii The filter is factory set to use about 2 ounces of potassium permanganate each recharge. That's how much is needed to keep the mineral bed working the way it should. However, if you recharge the filter more often than needed (see the table on page 8) less potassium permanganate is needed each time. The valve (FIG. 3) has a tube that raises and lowers into the bottle. It has 2 settings marked on it.
SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS I 2A. RECHARGE FACE PLATE _MER FEATURES NOW For times you expect to use more water than usual, use the RECHARGE NOW feature. Press the RECHARGE NOW-HOLD button [] and hold in for 3 seconds. RCHG begins to flash in the display and a recharge starts right away. You will have filtered water when the recharge is over in about 2 hours.

When electrical power comes on, 1 of 2 things will happen. 1.
SECTION 2 .ow YourWATER FILTE. WORKS i __j 2B. IRON IN WATER/HOW FILTER REMOVES IT IMPORTANT: Sears water filters are sometimes installed alone in the water system, but most often other water treating equipment is needed. Always be sure to have your water tested by a qualified testing laboratory. If you need help, ask at your Sears store, or call Sears Water Line, 1-800-426-9345. Iron in water causes many problems, from mak;ng rust stains on clothing, plumbing fixtures, etc.

SECTION 3 3A. CHANGING CARE OFYOUR FILTER THE POTASSIUM HOW LONG DOES A BOTTLE OF POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE LAST? How long a bottle lasts depends on how often the filter regnerates and how much potassium permanganate is used (pages 8 and 9). You can use the chart below as a guide to tell you about how long it will last. Tube Set at "A" Mark Tube Set At "B" Mark 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 months 4 1/2 months 3 months 9 weeks 7 weeks 6 weeks 5 weeks 18 months 9 months WARNING: HANDLE THE BOTTLE WITH CARE.
SECTION 3 CARE OFYourRLTER I 3B. CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 9) is a must for the filter to work right. This small unit moves potassium permanganate solution from the bottle, into the mineral bed during solution draw (page 13). If the nozzle and venturi becomes plugged with iron, sand, silt, dirt, etc., it can not make the suction to move the solution. Without this solution during regeneration, the mineral bed will not be cleaned as it should.
SECTION 3 3C. CARE OFYOUR FILTER KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING If the filter is installed where it could freeze (summer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all water from it to stop possible freeze damage. To drain the filter 1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank. 2. Open a faucet in the filtered water pipes to vent pressure in the filter. 3. Looking at FIG. 10 on page 18, move the stem in a single bypass valve to bypass.
