REFINER
1.
Disconnect brine draw line from the brine cabinet. Place the loose end into a
five gallon plastic pail filled with a solution of warm water and 4 oz. of media
mineral cleaner.
2.
Manually advance control timer to brine draw position (refer to page 16
step 4 chart). Allow all the warm mineral cleaner solution to be drawn into
mineral bed.
Then immediately...
3.
Close main water supply valve or turn power off to pump and proceed with
refiner installation. During time required to install refiner system,
iron- fouled refiner media will be chemically cleaned.
4.
After refiner installation is completed and final adjustments are made with
the water turned on and brine draw tube reconnected, manually reprogram
timer on refiner to backwash setting. Allow timer to perform an automatic
regeneration cycle. During backwash of refiner all iron cleaned from the
media will be washed down the drain. It is advisable after chemically
cleaning refiner to regenerate system twice to fully restore capacity lost due
to iron fouling.
WATER BYPASS
MANUAL BYPASS
In case of an emergency such as refiner maintenance, you can isolate your
water refiner 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
the INLET and OUTLET pipes. To isolate the refiner, 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 refiner. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume
treated service, open the bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.
Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open otherwise the
unsoftened water could bypass through the valve.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
WATER HEATER
After completing the installation of the chemical free iron refiner
system, clean the water heater by following these instructions:
1.
Shut off energy supply to water heater and close heater inlet
water valve.
2.
Drain hot water tank completely. Open inlet water valve
allowing heater tank to be refilled with conditioned water.
Continue flushing until water runs clear to drain.
3.
If, after approximately 30 minutes flushing, water does NOT
clear, terminate flushing operation. Refill hot water heater
with water and pour approximately 1/2 gallon of household
bleach into top of heater tank. Allow bleach solution to stand
in tank for 20 to 30 minutes. Flush tank again until water is
clear at drain. Turn energy supply on.
4.
If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and
hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater
tank may be the only practical solution to prevent continued

staining originating from this source.

TOILET FLUSH TANKS
Prior to commencing installation of the Refiner system,
pour 4 to 6 ounces of media mineral cleaner Pro-Rust
Out or inhibited muriatic acid into flush tanks and
bowls and let stand. When installation is completed,
flush toilets several times with iron-free water. If iron
deposits or stains remain, repeat procedure until clear.
NOTE
If water does not become clear in approximately
10 minutes, water heater should probably
be replaced.
