with the filter. To maintain full valve flow,

3/4" or 1" pipes to and from the filter fit-

tings are recommended. You should main-

tain the same, or larger, pipe size as the

water supply pipe, up to the softener inlet

Taste & Odor Filter (Activated Carbon)

Unpleasant tastes and doors caused by chlorine or organic substances, such as decayed

vegetation and run off, are absorbed by top quality activated carbon. The filter will auto-

matically backwash to a predetermined schedule. This frees the bed of accumulated impuri-

ties and readies it for operation again.

Multimedia Filter

Suspended particulate matter, such as clay and silt, which gives water a cloudy appearance,

s trapped in the filter bed to produce clean, clear water. A variety of gravels and sand facili-

tates more thorough backwashing and prevents channeling

Nextsand (Ultramicro Filter)

This filter uses nextsand media for fine filtration of silt, sediment and turbidity. It provides

higher solid loading, longer running times and superior performance. Please refer to special

startup requirement of this media filter.

Neutralizing Filter

The Neutralizing contains special media which raises the pH of acidic water and neutralizes

its acidic characteristics. On some applications, this filter also facilitates the removal of iron

and manganese by raising the pH to enable an iron filter to be used. Occasional backwash-

ing cleans the bed. Over a period of time, additional media may be required. The fill port

options on the tanks make it easier for additional media refilling.
