You can verify if the AmeriWater SILEX 00M20821 resin bags have been regenerated and shipped back by checking if you enclosed a completed regeneration certificate in the box when sending the exhausted resin packs to AmeriWater. AmeriWater uses this certificate to process the return and send back freshly regenerated resin packs. There is no need for additional paperwork, phone calls, or purchase orders.

    The AmeriWater regeneration center maintains the resin used in the Silex Deionizer. When resin packs are exhausted, replace the packs in the Silex system with “stand-by” resin packs and return the exhausted pack to AmeriWater for regeneration. The resin will be regenerated and returned the next business day after receipt.

  • Page 5: Installation Steps

    INSTALLATION IN 10 EASY STEPS Locate the Silex system on a firm, level foundation. It is recommended, but not required, to locate the system near a standard floor drain or sump and a 115 Volt receptacle. It is recommended to install shut-off valves on the inlet and outlet sides of each unit to facilitate changing of resin packs.
  • Page 6 NOTE: 16 feet of hose has been provided with the Silex system. Cut the hose to the desired lengths for the inlet hose and outlet hose and install the provided fittings as needed. Connect the outlet hose to the hose barb fitting on the right side of the system (while facing the label).
  • Page 7 c. Stretch the resin pack over your arm to elongate the pack, and feed it into the Silex column allowing the pack to slide out of the plastic sleeve. d. Replace the cover plate and tighten the black knobs. Be sure to tighten the knobs evenly by screwing in the knobs in opposite corners simultaneously.
  • Page 8: Recirculation Pump & Resistivity Controller

    RECIRCULATION PUMP & RESISTIVITY CONTROLLER The ON/OFF switch turns on the recirculation pump which freshens the system. Leave the pump off when not in use. Do not use the pump to vent the system. Never operate the pump dry. The resistivity controller monitors and measures the product quality between 0.015 and 18.17 Meg-ohms/cm.
  • Page 9: Adjusting Relay Resistivity Time Delay

    Adjusting Relay Resistivity Time Delay The delay on the relay timer can be set from 0-120 seconds to allow for rinse up of the equipment. To modify the settings, take the following steps. Press and hold DELAY then press the ADJUST button. Release both buttons.
  • Page 10: Using The Resistivity Relay

    Using the Resistivity Relay The resistivity controller has an on-board single pole, double throw relay that is rated at 1 amp @ 28VDC and 0.5 amp at 120VAC. This has both normally open and normally closed contacts, allowing for control both above and below the set- points.
  • Page 11 Insert the pins of the cal module (see section 9.0 for part #) in the same position as the cell wires with the label facing up. Secure the screws to the cal module. Plug in the device and turn the unit on, allowing the resistivity display to stabilize.
  • Page 12: Resin Pack & Filter Exchange

    RESIN PACK & FILTER EXCHANGE Resin Pack Exchange Turn off the recirc pump and water supply to the Silex system. Open the air vents located in the center of the cover plates. Place a container under the drain valves located on the bottom plates of the system.
  • Page 13: Filter Cartridge Replacement

    Filter Cartridge Replacement Carbon prefilter cartridges should be replaced each time the resin pack(s) are exchanged. The final filter cartridge should be exchanged when the differential pressure of the gauges is greater than 10 psi (Pounds per Square Inch) or each time the resin packs are exchanged.
  • Page 14: Resin Pack Regeneration

    Fill out a regeneration certificate by printing your name, phone number, company and address. When you send each pack to AmeriWater, enclose the regeneration certificate in the box. AmeriWater will ship you a freshly regenerated resin pack. To order more certificates, contact the company that originally sold you the deionizer.
