How a Central Water Filtration System Works
NORMAL OPERATION
During normal operation water enters the Central
Water Filtration System and flows through several fil-
tration processes where tastes, odors and sediment*
are reduced.
CLEAN RINSE CYCLE
A Clean Rinse cycle will automatically be initiated
based on how the controller has been programmed.
The Clean Rinse cycle lifts and expands the media
bed to rejuvenate the media and then repacks the bed
for continued use. During the Clean Rinse cycle, dirt,
sediment, iron, etc. are flushed from the Central Water
Filtration System down the drain.
APPLICATIONS FOR A CENTRAL WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM
Do not use the Central Water Filtration System with
water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
The Central Water Filtration System may not be an
effective treatment method for water sources with a
hydrogen sulfide problem (rotten egg odor or taste)
If your water has hydrogen sulfide, contact a water
treatment expert or call 1-866-986-3223.
The Central Water Filtration System will not remove
iron and is not intended to replace iron treatment
equipment.
Although the Central Water Filtration System has
sediment* filter capabilities, additional sediment fil-
tration may be needed in problem water applica-
tions.
