2AJQ Replenishment Procedure
The neutralizing media that adjusts the pH level of the water must be refilled periodically. Typically, this media
is calcite and is available from Hague. To refill the neutralizing media, measure the appliance’s media bed
depth upon installation (factory freeboard). Use this measurement to determine the amount of media to add to
maintain optimum performance of the 2AJQ.
Tools and Materials Needed
The following tools and materials are needed to replace the neutralizing media:
•
Analog scale (do not use digital)
•
1/2-inch siphon hose
•
Steel tape measure
•
Funnel with 1-inch fill tube
•
5-gallon bucket with handle
•
12-inch wooden ruler or dowel rod
•
Replacement media (P/N M050)
•
3/4-inch socket
Replenishment Procedure
The replenishment procedure is as follows:
Step 1
Turn Off the Water
A.
Turn off the water to the appliance.
B.
Open a tap to depressurize the appliance.
C.
Close the tap.
Step 2
Remove Water From Media Tank
A.
Remove the fill plug from the media tank using a
3/4-inch socket.
B.
Insert the siphon hose into the fill port.
C.
Siphon the water into the bucket down to the
media level in the tank.
Step 3
Calculate Amount of Media to Add
A.
Measure the freeboard distance from the top of
the fill plug to the media. See Figure 5.
Note: The recommended freeboard distance is
4-3/4-inch (12 cm).
B.
Add five pounds (2.3 kg) of media per inch
(2.5 cm) below 4-3/4-inches (12 cm).
Example:
Measured freeboard
6-3/4 inches (17.1 cm)
Figure 5: Max Freeboard Amount
Minus factory freeboard - 4-3/4 inches (12.1 cm)
Adjusted freeboard
2 inches (5.0 cm)
Replenishment equals
5 lb (2.3 kg) media x 2 inches (2.5 cm) (adjusted freeboard) = 10 lb (4.5 kg) media.
