Hydrotech 2510 Valve Chemical Free Iron Filter Operation Manual - Manual (Page 12)

PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION
2. Water is RED when drawn from
tap
A. Filter bed overloaded with precipitated iron
due to insufficient backwash flow rate.
B. Filter bed overloaded with precipitated iron
due to insufficient backwash.
C. Solenoid valve malfunction or inadequate
supply system pressure/flow rate.
A. (a) Recheck well pumping rate and repair or replace
as required. (b) Check for obstructions or kink in
drain line, or (c) for improper drain line flow con-
troller (see specs). Upon correction of this problem,
if manually backwashing does not clear bed of iron,
filter bed may need chemical cleaning - contact deal-
er.
B. Upon correction of problem (increase backwash fre-
quency if problem determined to be insufficient fre-
quency), manually backwash until backwash water
starts to clear (in more severe iron-fouling cases, fil-
ter bed may need chemical cleaning - contact deal-
er).
C. Replace solenoid valve (check page 4 for proper
pressure/flow rates).
3. Excessive pressure loss through
filter
A. Filter bed overloaded with precipitated iron.
B. Control inlet/outlet valve(s) not fully open.
C. Sand, silt or mud collecting in filter bed.
D. Filter bed not properly “classified”.
E. “cementing” or “channeling” of filter media
A. Refer to Section 2 above.
B.
Open valves.
C. Check well for these conditions.
D. Manually backwash to reclassify.
E. Prod (stir) filter bed to break up hardened layer,
increase backwash frequency to prevent reoc-
curences.
4. “Milky” or “Bubbly” water
(appears to contain small bub-
bles).
A. Excess Hydro-Charger air-draw.
B. Excess gasses in water (carbon dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide, methane).
A. Check adjustment for duration of draw in excess of
one-third pumping cycle (see Sec. 3, Step 8).
B. May require cleaning or installation of air-relief con-
trol (contact dealer).
