How Your Water Filter Works The principle behind water filtering is simple chemistry. A water filter contains media which is designed to capture contaminants as water passes through the media bed. When water passes through the filter, chlorine, chloramines and fluoride are attracted to the media. The result is removal of these contaminants from the water stream.
Filter Preparation US Water Ultimate Dual Tank Superfilter Installation Instructions WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for the backwashing valve to operate effectively. ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other volt- ages are available.

Filter Preparation 3) Place a piece of duct tape over the riser tube of one of the tanks, so no gravel or carbon or bone char enters the riser while filling. Both tanks are the same and it does not matter which tank is used for the carbon and which tank is used for the bone char.

Installation Instructions 5. Connect the drain hose to the valve and secure it with a hose clamp. Run the drain hose to the nearest laundry tub or floor drain. This can be ran up overhead or down along the floor. Drain hose should be a minimum of 1/2”. If running the drain line more than 20 ft overhead, it is recommended to increase the hose size to 3/4”.

About The System Control Operation During A Power Failure In the event of a power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The programmed settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure.
New Sounds You may notice new sounds as your filter operates. The regeneration cycle lasts up to 30 minutes. During this time, you may hear water running intermittently to the drain. Automatic Raw Water Bypass During Regeneration The regeneration cycle can last 30 minutes after which filtered water service will be restored. During regeneration, un-filtered water is automatically bypassed for use in the household.
