NORMAL OPERATION
During normal operation, water flows through the
Central Water Filtration System, where tastes, odors
and sediment are reduced.
REFRESH CYCLE
A Refresh cycle will automatically be initiated, based on
how the controller has been programmed. The Refresh
cycle lifts and expands the media bed to rejuvenate the
media, and then repacks the bed for continued use.
During the Refresh cycle, dirt, sediment, etc. are
flushed down the drain.
VACATIONS AND EXTENDED PERIODS OF
NO WATER USE
If your Central Water Filtration System will not be used
for an extended period of time (several months), please
follow one of these recommendations:
=
If the water supply to the unit is not turned off, and
the automatic Refresh function has not been dis -
abled, then no further actions are required.
=
If the Refresh cycle cannot be automatically run, due
to the water supply being shut off, the transformer
being unplugged or the automatic Refresh function
being disabled, then a minimum of 2 manually
initiated Refresh cycles should be performed when
the system is placed back into operation (see “Start
a Refresh Cycle” on Page 4).
