Hydrotech 5600 SXT Valve Chem Free Iron Filter Operation Manual - Manual (Page 3)

How Your 5600 SXT Water Filter Works
The chemical free iron filter consists of two major components which are:
1. A Mazzei injector, located between the well head and the pressure tank, adds a small amount of air to the iron-
laden water whenever the well pump runs.
2. A backwashing-type filter containing special media that causes the iron in the air-injected water to precipitate
throughout the filter bed This process produces an iron removal capacity of up to 30,000 ppm. The media
requires no chemical regenerant for oxygen enrichment.
Periodic backwashing of the filter bed flushes the precipitated iron to the drain and readies the filter for use again. The
duration of the backwash procedure will vary depending on the iron concentration but generally is 10 minutes total. The
frequency of backwashing depends on iron concentration and water usage and ranges from daily to once every 10 days.
In normal operation, the Time of Day display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining display. This display
will be in gallons, liters or cubic meters. As treated water is used, the Volume Remaining display will count down from a
maximum value to zero or (---). Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the Set Regeneration Time. Water
flow through the valve is indicated by the Flow Indicator that will flash in direct relationship to flow rate.
Example 833 Gallons of Treated
Water Remaining
0 Gallons of Treated

Control Operation During Regeneration
In regeneration, the control will display a special regeneration display. In this display, the control will show the current
regeneration step number the valve is advancing to or has reached and the time remaining in that step. The step number
displayed will flash until the valve has completed driving into this regeneration step position. Once all regeneration steps have
been completed, the valve will return to Service and resume normal operation.
Example Less than 6 minutes
remaining in Regen
Step Rapid Rinse
Pushing the Extra Cycle Button during a regeneration cycle will immediately advance the valve to the next cycle step position
and resume normal step timing.
