Regenerating Iron Filters - Model 942Man
Refer to Regenerating Iron Filters Model 942 in Section
5.2 for information on this type of system application.
All common control settings, control regenerant
settings, and regenerant usage which apply to the
942Man control are the same as those used on the 942
control.
When using the 942Man control however, the time of
each cycle cannot be predicted exactly. Note the
following regeneration cycle parameters:
• Backwash the filter until the drain water flows clear,
typically 5 - 15 minutes.
• Regenerant draw continues until the check ball
closes to end draw.
• Slow Rinse should continue until there is NO pink
color to the drain water flow. This is typically four
times that of the regenerant draw time.
• Fast Rinse time continues until there is no pink
color to the drain water flow, typically 5 - 15
minutes.
• Refill time is determined by the size of the refill flow
control and the amount of regenerant required for a
particular size system. Refer to Regenerant Use
Table in Section 5.2.
