IRLL THE TANK WnTH

THE SOLUTION DISPENSING SYSTEM RESER- VOIR (TANK) HOLDS 15 GALLONS OF SOLUTION. HOWEVER, ON THE FIRST FILL, ALLOW SOME ROOM IN THE TANK SO THE SOLUTION STRENGTH CAN BE CHANGED IF NEEDED. DE- PENDING ON THE WATER PROBLEM YOU ARE TREATING, FILL THE TANK AND SET THE FEED RATE AS FOLLOWS.

IRON AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE TREATMENT

-- Remove the reservoir (tank) cover and fill the tank with 5 gallons of water and 5 gallons of 5.25% com- mon household bleach (Purex, Clorox, Hilex, etc.)_

1. Plug the pump power cord in and open a nearby faucet to start the well pump The solution pump starts to run with the well pump_

FEED CONTROL KNOB

3'

No. 1 settingis for the least solution feed. no 7is for the most, and no 4 is the mid-point. ALWAYS BE SU RE THE SOLUTION PUMPIS RUNNING WHEN TURNING THIS KNOB NEVER

ATTEMPT TO TURN THE KNOB WHEN THE PUMP IS OFF.

2.Turn the feed control knob (FIG 10) to No.. 7.

3.Turn the relief-releasevalve (clockwise only FIG. 11) to the open position.. Solution is pumped

through the suction tubing, into the pump head, then returned to the tank (takes 3-5 minutes)..

4.When you See solution returning to the tank (look through fill hole), close the relief-release valve tur ning

clockwise only_ The pump head is primed and will begin to pump solution out the discharge. Replace the tank cover.

5. When the discharge tubing is filled with solution,

turn the feed control knob to No 4 and close the

6.After 24 hours, check the chlorine residual as follows. Adjust the feed control knob and/or the solu- tion strength as needed

HOW TO CHECK CHLORINE RESIDUAL

(FEEDING BLEACH) --It is ideal to feed just enough chlorine bleach to get rid of iron and/or hydrogen sulfide However, the amount of these minerals in your water can change from season to season, and even from day to day For this reason, you have to feed slightly more chlorine bleach than needed This extra bleach sometimes gives the water a chlorine taste and/or odor that some people dislike.

To have the least chlorine taste and odor and still

remove the iron or hydrogen sulfide from the water, you must maintain a chlorine residual A test kit is included with your Solution Dispensing System. After installing the system and feeding solution for 24 hours, use the test kit as follows.

TO

SUPPLY

1.Open a nearby faucet to start the well pump and the solution pump.

2.Follow the guides with the kit and test the water. A chlorine residual of 0.2 to 0_6 ppm is ideal

3.If the residual is over 06 ppm, turn the feed

control knob (FIG 10) downward slightly and check again in 24 hours. Do this each day until the residual stays between 02 and 06. ALSO SEE

THE NOTE FOLLOWING STEP 4.

4.If the residual is under 0.2 ppm, turn the feed control knob (FIG 10) upward slightly and check again in 24 hours_ Do this each day until the residual stays between 0.2 and 0_6. Then check every few days.

NOTE: The chlorine to water mixture ratio, above left, is average You may not be able to maintain the residual, even with the lowest or highest feed rate settings_ If so, do the following.
