Operating Instructions
How Your Automatic Filter Works
Raw water enters your home through the main supply line, enters your filter, and passes downward through the media bed.
Impurities such as turbidity and sediment (MMF) and organics (ACF) are removed from the water. The filtered water then
flows up and into your household water lines.
The neutralizing filter (NF) is designed to raise the pH of your water to eliminate corrosive characteristics.
EXAMPLE: A pH of 5.5 can be raised to 7.0 which is neutral. When the water is neutralized, it is then possible to remove the
iron with the addition of an iron filter.
Water Pressure
Your water filter is designed to operate under normal water pressures from 20 psi to 125 psi.
Regeneration and Automatic Bypass
Water filters are factory set to regenerate at 1:00 a.m. during a period of little or no water use. The regeneration cycle lasts
approximately 15 minutes after which filtered water service is restored. While regeneration is taking place, "raw water"
automatically bypasses the filter if required. If possible, avoid using water during regeneration to prevent unfiltered water
entering your household plumbing system. Note: When more than one filter is being used, regeneration should be staggered
by 15 minute intervals from 1 a.m.
Manual Bypass
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.
In normal operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with
OUTLET
the inlet and outlet pipes. To isolate the filter, simply rotate the knobs
clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS and arrow) until they lock.
You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the water
supply is bypassing the filter. However, the water you use will be
unfiltered.
INLET
To resume soft water service, open the bypass valve by reversing the
rotation of the knobs counter-clockwise.
New Sounds
You will notice new sounds, such as the hum of the timer, as your filter operates. During regeneration, it will not be uncommon
to hear water running to the drain.
