97WB-CF Carbon Filter
S t
art-Up Procedures
Your waterBoss Carbon filter will backwash every one to four days. You select the frequency
based on local conditions. You will need to set the time of day and the desired time of regen-
eration by following the procedure outlined on page 17 of this manual.
IMPORTANT
: Because the WB-CF is capable of treating a combination of undesirable con-
stituents in the water (chlorine, taste and odor), it is important that the filter be applied within
the operating limits outlined in this manual. Failure to comply with these specifications will
cause poor backwash results and possibly a malfunction of the control valve.
INSTALLATION TIP
: The granular activated carbon in this filter has been shipped dry. It is
necessary to soak this filter media for twenty-four hours to prevent media loss to drain during
backwash. Follow the installation procedure on page 12, but do not plug in the transformer.
After 24 hours, plug in the transformer and program the controller as outlined on page 17 of
this manual. Press and hold the regenerate button until the controller indicates 01 (flashing).
After 7 minutes, the controller will return to service mode and display a number from 01 to 04
days to regeneration.
NOTE
: This filter should be installed after the pressure tank or water meter, before the water
heater or any WaterBoss water softener appliance unless otherwise recommended. (See
illustration). A minimum 3/4” pipe is required for proper function of the filter. It is also impor-
tant to examine the inlet piping to make sure the pipe is not plugged with lime. If the piping is
plugged, it must be cleaned or replaced.
