WHAT TO EXPECT WITH YOUR NEW WATER SOFTENER ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM If you have never had a water softener: You will experience naturally soft water immediately after the installation. Most detergents will work better with treated water and you will be able to reduce the amount you use. However, there are mineral deposits and hard water scale coating the inside of your pipes and fixtures. Over the first few weeks, this hard water scale will dissolve, detach itself from the pipes, and come out of your faucets.
MAINTENANCE Carbon Media Replacement Your Pentair Carbon Water Filter requires maintenance after a period of 5 years. Replacement media and instructions can be ordered on-line at www.pentair.com/homewater or by calling 877-842-1635. Model numbers for replacement media are PC600-R or PC1000-R. Sediment Filter It is recommended that the sediment filter be replaced every 6-9 months depending on the amount of sediment present in the water supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Pressure is dropping off during the carbon wash. Solution Turn the water off and let the tank sit about 30 minutes to allow the carbon to settle down off of the basket inside the tank. If the pressure drops off again, let the system stand for 72 hours. There is air trapped in the carbon bed that needs to be released from the tank. After 72 hours have passed, continue the carbon wash by slowly turning the water supply back on. Water leaking at the top of the tank around the head.
