I RLL THE TANK WnTH
THE SOLUTION
DISPENSING
SYSTEM
RESER-
VOIR (TANK) HOLDS 15 GALLONS
OF SOLUTION.
HOWEVER,
ON THE FIRST
FILL, ALLOW
SOME
ROOM
IN THE
TANK
SO
THE
SOLUTION
STRENGTH
CAN BE CHANGED
IF NEEDED.
DE-

PROBLEM
YOU ARE
TREATING,
FILL THE TANK AND SET THE FEED
RATE AS FOLLOWS.
IRON

SULFIDE
TREATMENT
-- Remove
the reservoir
(tank) cover and fill the tank
with 5 gallons
of water and 5 gallons
of 5.25% com-
mon household
bleach
(Purex,
Clorox,
Hilex, etc.)_
1. Plug the pump power cord in and open a nearby
faucet
to start
the well pump
The solution
pump
starts to run with the well pump_
2. Turn the feed control
knob (FIG
10) to No.. 7.
3. Turn
the
relief-release
valve
(clockwise
only
FIG. 11) to the open position.. Solution
is pumped
through
the suction tubing,
into the pump head, then
returned to the tank (takes 3-5 minutes)..
4. When you See solution
returning
to the tank (look
through fill hole), close the relief-release
valve tur ning
clockwise
only_ The pump
head is primed
and will
begin to pump solution
out the discharge.
Replace
the tank cover.
5. When
the discharge
tubing
is filled with solution,
turn the feed
control
knob to No
4 and close the
faucet
opened
in Step 1.
6. After
24 hours,
check
the chlorine
residual
as
follows.
Adjust the feed control knob and/or the solu-
tion strength
as needed
HOW
TO
CHECK
CHLORINE
RESIDUAL
(FEEDING
BLEACH)
--
It is ideal
to feed
just
enough
chlorine
bleach
to get rid of iron and/or
hydrogen
sulfide
However,
the amount
of these
minerals
in your water can change
from season to
season,
and even from day to day
For this reason,
you
have
to feed
slightly
more
chlorine
bleach
than
needed
This extra
bleach
sometimes
gives
the water
a chlorine
taste and/or
odor
that some
people
dislike.
To have the least chlorine
taste and odor and still
remove
the
iron
or hydrogen
sulfide
from
the
water,
you
must
maintain
a chlorine
residual
A
test kit is included
with your
Solution
Dispensing
System.
After
installing
the system
and feeding
solution
for 24 hours,
use the test kit as follows.

RELIEF-RELEASE
VALVE OPEN
DISCHARGE
SUCTION
TO
SUPPLY
1. Open a nearby
faucet
to start the well pump and
the solution
pump.
2. Follow
the guides
with the kit and test the water.
A chlorine
residual
of 0.2 to 0_6 ppm is ideal
3. If the residual
is over
06
ppm,
turn
the feed
control
knob
(FIG
10) downward
slightly
and
check
again in 24 hours.
Do this each day until the
residual
stays
between
02
and 06.
ALSO
SEE
THE NOTE
FOLLOWING
STEP 4.
4. If the residual
is under
0.2 ppm, turn
the feed
control
knob
(FIG
10) upward
slightly
and check
again
in 24 hours_
Do this
each
day
until
the
residual
stays
between
0.2 and 0_6. Then
check
every few days.
NOTE:
The chlorine
to water mixture
ratio, above
left, is average
You may not be able to maintain
the residual,
even with the lowest
or highest
feed
rate settings_
If so, do the following.
