Adding POT-PERM 

Your unit requires POT-PERM on a regular basis. Typically, a jug (5 lbs) of POT PERM should last three to four months 
or more before refilling with POT PERM powder is required. Fill the chemical tank with a full jug of POT-PERM. You do 
not need to add water to the chemical tank except the first time when you install the unit. 

Check the POT PERM level once a month and add as required. If you find that the water level is much higher than the 
felt pad, please call Rainfresh customer care. POT PERM can be ordered from the same retailer  
 

How to calculate Regeneration Frequency (Factory set for once every 3 days) 

a)

 

Calculate KMnO

4

 (Potassium Permanganate) demand 

Multiply Manganese concentration by 3 and Hydrogen Sulphide (H

2

S) concentration by 5 and add these to the Iron 

concentration. For example if Iron level is 2 PPM, Manganese is 0.5 PPM and H

2

S is 1 PPM, then KMnO

4

 demand = 2 + 

(3 x 0.5) + (5 x 1) = 2 + 1.5 + 5 = 8.5 PPM  

b)

 

Calculate Unit Capacity 

Unit capacity in US Gallons is then given by:  

               37,850___________  =     37,850___   = 1,176.4 US Gal 

 

 

 

        

 

            KMnO

4

 demand x 3.785   

  8.5 x 3.785 

c)

 

Estimate water usage in the home 

Multiply the number of people in the house by 60 to get estimated water consumption per day. For example for 4 
people in the house, total water consumed = 4 x 60 = 240 Gal. 

d)

 

Calculate Regeneration frequency (days between regenerations) 

Therefore system should be set to regenerate = 1176/240 = 4.9 days = once every 4 days. 

Do not change regeneration frequency to more than once every 4 days. 

 

Winterizing the system

 

If the unit is to be winterized, the best way is to close the by-pass valve and unscrew the 2 screws adjacent to the by-
pass valves that hold the unit and the by-pass valve together, and carry the unit to a place where it will not be 
subject to freezing temperatures.  

Care of Your Greensand filter 

To  retain  the  attractive  appearance  of  your  new  filter,  clean  occasionally  with  mild  soap  solution.    Do  not  use 
abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.   

 

 

Cleaning the Injector Assembly 

Sediment  and  silt  will  restrict  or  clog  the  injector.    A  clean  water  supply  and  pure  salt  will  prevent  this  from 
happening. The injector assembly is located on the right side of the control valve.  This assembly is easy to clean. 

 

Shut  off the  water  supply to your  filter  and  release  the  pressure  by  opening  a cold  filtered  water  faucet.    Using a 
screwdriver,  remove  the  two  screws  holding  the  injector  cover  to  the  control  valve  body.    Carefully  remove  the 
assembly and disassemble as shown below.  The injector orifice is removed from the valve body by carefully turning 
it  out  with  a  large  screwdriver.  Remove  the  injector  throat  the  same  way.    Carefully  flush  all  parts  including  the 
screen.  Use a mild acid such as vinegar to clean the small holes in the orifice and throat. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Reassemble using the reverse procedure.
