OPERATION PROCEDURES To Activate the Filter Packs for All Models: FOR WG AND WC SERIES USING THE ULTRAFILTER, AIR MUST BE BLED AS CONDITIONING AND POLISHING CARTRIDGES ARE INSTALLED. • From the Home Screen, press and hold the CONDITIONING icon. Press NEXT to continue. - Follow instructions displayed.
OPERATION PROCEDURES Normal Operations Resistivity display will flash during the 2-hour initial rinse. After completion, the system enters Polishing mode for 10 minutes in which the inlet solenoid is open, and the pump is on. The UV bulb is also on if equipped. UV LED light by the dual conditioning cartridge will provide feedback when the UV bulb is on.
Page 24
OPERATION PROCEDURES Final water quality after the Polishing filter (resistivity) is shown on the Home Screen. The value is shown against a white background. Resistivity at the output of the conditioning pack can be displayed by pressing the resistivity value. The display will change to a purple colored background indicating the value of the conditioning pack.
OPERATION PROCEDURES Direct feed operation (If equipped): The system is equipped with a pressure switch that senses downstream water demand. When this occurs, the system enters direct feed mode and Direct Feed will display. The inlet solenoid and pump will come on and remain running. The system will monitor the direct feed pressure and will enter Polishing mode when demand stops for more than one minute.
