THE SOLUTiON DISPENSING SYSTEM RESER­
VOIR (TANK) HOLDS 15 GALLONS OF SOLUTION.
HOWEVER, ON THE FIRST FILL, ALLOW SOME
ROOM IN THE TANK SO THE SOLUTION
STRENGTH CAN BE CHANGED IF NEEDED. DE­
PENDING ON THE WATER PROBLEM YOU ARE
TREATING, FILL THE TANK AND SET THE FEED
RATE AS FOLLOWS.
IRON AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE TREATMENT
— Remove the reservoir (tank) cover and fill the tank
with 5 gallons of water and 5 gallons of 5.25% com­
mon household bleach {Purex, Clorox, Hilex, etc ).
1. Plug the pump power cord in and open a nearby
faucet to start the well pump. The solution pump
starts to run with the well pump.
2. Turn the feed control knob (FIG. 10) to No. 7.
3. Turn the relief-release valve (clockwise only
FIG. 11) to the open position. Solution is pumped
through the suction tubing, into the pump head, then
returned to the tank (takes 3-5 minutes).
4. When you see solution returning to the tank (look
through fill hole), close the relief-release valve turning
clockwise only. The pump head is primed and will
begin to pump solution out the discharge. Replace
the tank cover.
5. When the discharge tubing is filled with solution,
turn the feed control knob to No, 4 and close the
faucet opened in Step 1.
6. After 24 hours, check the chlorine residual as
follows. Adjust the feed control knob and/or the solu­
tion strength as needed.
HOW TO CHECK CHLORINE RESIDUAL
(FEEDING BLEACH) — It is ideal to feed just
enough chlorine bleach to get rid of iron and/or
hydrogen sulfide. However, the amount of these
minerals in your water can change from season to
season, and even from daytoday Forthis reason,
you have to feed slightly more chlorine bleach
than needed This extra bleach sometimes gives
the water a chlorine taste and/or odor that some
people dislike.
To have the least chlorine taste and odor and still
remove the iron or hydrogen sulfide from the
water, you must maintain a chlorine residual. A
test kit is included with your Solution Dispensing
System. After installing the system and feeding
solution for 24 hours, use the test kit as follows.

FEED CONTROL KNOB
Mica Ei Jr
No. 1 setting is for the least soiution feed no 7 isforthe most,
and no 4 is the mid-point. ALWAYS BESURE THE SOLUTION
PUMP iS RUNNING WHEN TURNING THIS KNOB. NEVER
ATTEMPT TO TURN THE KNOB WHEN THE PUMP IS OFF.
1. Open a nearby faucetto start the well pumpand
the solution pump.
2. Follow the guides with the kit and test the water,
A chlorine residual of 0 2 to 0.6 ppm is ideal.
3. If the residual is over 0.6 ppm, turn the feed
control knob (FIG. 10) downward slightly and
check again in 24 hours. Do this each day until the
residual stays between 0 2 and 0.6. ALSO SEE
THE NOTE FOLLOWING STEP 4.
4. if the residual is under 0,2 ppm, turn the feed
control knob (FIG. 10) upward slightly and check
again in 24 hours. Do this each day until the
residual stays between 0,2 and 0,6. Then check
every few days.
NOTE: The chlorine to water mixture ratio, above
left, is average. You may not be able to maintain
the residual, even with the lowest or highest feed
rate settings. If so, do the following.
