Determining the Backwash Frequency
The table on the following page can be used to help determine the

To set a neutralizing filter (NE), follow the table under mild conditions.

Setting the Backwash Frequency
The filter control features a skipper wheel with twelve numbered tabs and trip fingers, each representing one day of a twelve day
schedule. By adjusting the skipper wheel tabs, the control can be programmed to backwash every second third, fourth, sixth or twelfth
day, according to your requirements. The control is shipped with the skipper wheel tabs pushed outward. You must push the tabs in
toward the center of the wheel (retracting the trip finger) for each day that backwashing is not required.
Rotate the skipper wheel until number “1” is at the pointer. Leave this tab out. Moving clockwise around the skipper wheel, adjust the
remaining tabs using the following table as a guide.
Manual Regeneration
Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise. This slight movement of the manual regeneration knob engages the program wheel and
starts the regeneration program. The back center knob will make one revolution in approximately three hours and stop in the position
shown in the drawing. Actual backwash time is 14 minutes. In any event, treated water may be drawn after rinse water stops flowing
from the filter’s drain line.
