with the Speciality System. To maintain

full valve flow, 3/4" or 1" pipes to and

from the Speciality System fittings are

recommended. You should maintain the

same, or larger, pipe size as the water

supply pipe, up to the Speciality System

inlet and outlet.

Use copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fit-

•Pay close attention to critical flow rates. If system flow rates exceed the specification

for critical flow rates you may lose capacity and experience breakthrough for Iron, Mn,

or Tannins. To be safe choose one size larger when sizing.

•Any oxidative pre-treatment such as air or chemicals is unnecessary and should be

avoided.

•Cleaning chemicals are unnecessary and should be avoided as they may strip important

coatings from the media reducing its effectiveness.

•High amounts of Ferric Iron (precipitated iron) or rust will not be filtered as the

HIMTLC PLUS unit uses the ion exchange process. It may be necessary to add a filter

ahead of the system to remove excess Ferric Iron or rust.

•Its very important to not run the system out of salt. In the event the system does run

out of salt and the unit is completely exhausted, an over night "soak" is recommended

to clean the media. See next page for procedure.

•Always be sure the salt tank has enough salt. The salt should always be above the wa-

ter level in the tank. If you can see water its time to add salt. Keeping the salt above

the water level insures a very high saturated brine solution and a good regeneration.

•On very bad problem water, the "soak" procedure may be performed regularly

(monthly or as needed) to keep the media in good working condition.

•Units are designed to work with down flow valves only.

•A good back wash (15 minutes) is required as the friction of the media rubbing togeth-

er releases the Iron and Manganese compounds from the surface of the media.
