11.0 BC-100 Controller

Your RGW series system is equipped with the BC-100 water management controller.

The BC-100 controller in your system has been pre-set to manage the grey water throughout the 

day for optimal disinfection. There are 16 possible settings ranging from No Extra Chlorination (twice 

per day chlorination) to Maximum Chlorination. The default setting is Level 6 Chlorination, which will 

keep optimal levels of chlorine in the grey water based on daily flow volumes of 250 liters (66 USG). 

If more or less daily flow volumes are expected, the dip switch settings on the BC-100 controller 

should be adjusted accordingly. Each setting will increase or decrease the chlorine level by 0.5 ppm. 

(Parts per million) (See the chart below for chlorination level settings)

 

The BC-100 controller will process the grey water at a minimum twice per day every 12 hours based 

on the quantity of water in the holding tank. If the switch setting is set to minimal chlorination or 

more, the system will monitor in real time the grey water entering the system and will process on an 

ongoing basis to insure proper water quality.  If the system is unused for more than 12 hours, the 

system will enter “vacation mode” and will process the grey water to optimize the resources such as 

electricity, water and chlorine. 

Please take note that regardless of the chlorination level setting, the system will process the wa-

ter at a minimum of every 12 hours. The system clock starts at 0 hour when powered on. To avoid 

pump starts during the night, we recommend that the unit be powered ON between 6-10 AM or 6-10 

PM. This way, the system will go through its water processing cycles at more convenient times for 

the household.

The enabled LED should be green to show that the system is operational. If the LED flashes, this 

indicates that water level sensor has not been connected.

The chlorination cycle can also be manually operated by pressing the blue “Chlorinator” button 

on the BC-100 controller. The chlorination valve will operate only while the “Chlorinator” button is 

pressed. Once you release the button, the chlorination valve will close. The “Chlorinator” button 

should not need to be pressed for more than one minute at a time.

The fresh water make-up circuit is automatically managed by the BC-100 controller. It too can be 

manually operated by pressing the blue “Fresh Water” button on the BC-100 controller. The fresh 

water make-up valve will operate only while the “Fresh Water” button is pressed. Once you release 

the button, the fresh water make-up valve will close. The “Fresh Water” button should not need to be 

pressed for more than one minute at a time.

Warning: Do not depress the blue buttons on the BC-100 controller for an extended period of time. 

This could cause damage to the controller.
