FILL THE TANK WITH SOLUTIi^ SETTHE PiED R
1. Residual still above 0.6, and the feed control
knob at 1 or 2— Use less chlorine In the mixture,
For example, use 1 gallon of bleach for each 2
gallons of water instead of 1 to 1.
2, Residual still below 0,2, and the feed control
knobat6or7— Use more chlorine in the mixture
For example, use 2 gallons of bleach for each
gallon of water instead of 1 to 1
¡ACID WATER TREATMENT ~ Remove the reser­
voir (tank) cover and fill the tank with 8 gallons of
WARM water. Pour in 80 oz. (10 oz, per gallon of
water) of Sears Neutralizing Compound, Stock No.
42-34475. Stir until the compound is completely dis­
solved.
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 (took
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 pH level as follows.
Adjust the feed control knob and/or the solution
strength as needed.
HOW TO CHECK THE pH LEVEL (FEEDING
NEUTRALIZER COMPOUND) — The pH level of
acid water is below 7,0 on a scale of 1 to 14, From
7.0 and above, the water is neutral. When feeding
neutralizer, it is best to keep the pH level between
7.0 and 8,0 , A test kit is included with yoursoiution
dispensing system to make this check. After
installing the system and feeding solution for 24
hours, use the test kit as follows.
1. Open a nearby faucet to start the well pump and
the solution pump
2. Follow the guides with the kit to test the water
from the opened faucet,
3. If the pH level is below 7.0, turn the feed control
knob (FIG 10) upward slightly and check again in
24 hours If the pH checks above 8,0, turn the feed
control knob downward slightly and check again
in 24 hours. Do this each day until the pH stays
between 7.0 and 8 0 Then check every few days
NOTE; The neutralizer compound to water mix­
ture ratio (10 oz. compound per gallon of water) is
average You may not be able to maintain a 7,0 to
8.0 pH, even with the lowest or highest feed rate
settings. If so, do the following.
1. pHabove8.0,and the feed control knobat 1 or2
— Use less neutralizer compound in the mixture.
For example, mix5oz. of neutralizer compound in
each gallon of water.
2. pH below 7.0, and the feed control knob at 6 or 7
— Use more neutralizercompound in the mixture.
For example, mix 15 oz. of neutralizer compound
in each gallon of water.
¡TREATMENT OF ACID WATER THAT ALSO HAS
IRON BACTERIA, HYDROGEN SULFIDE, OR
HIGH AMOUNTS OF IRON — Begin by filling the
tank with 8 gallons of WARM water. Pour in 80 oz,
(10 oz. per gallon of water) of Sears Neutralizer
Compound, Stock No, 42-34475. Stir until the com­
pound is completely dissolved. Add 2 gallons of
5.25% common household bleach (Purex, Clorox,
Hilex, etc ).
ACAUTION: ALWAYS MIX THE WATER, NEUTRAL­
IZER AND BLEACH IN THE SAME ORDER AS
ABOVE.
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.
