IMPORTANT NOTES
Due to the nature of the Chem-Free Iron Reduction media, on start up it sometimes requires 2 or 3 days for the Chem-Free Iron
Reduction Filter to reduce Iron and Manganese below staining levels. Do not be alarmed if this occurs. During the initial start up and
subsequent fi rst couple automatic regeneration cycles, a small amount of fi ne white and beige media may be observed in the drain
water and or drain area. This is normal and benefi cial for the effi cient operation of your Chem-Free Iron Reduction Filter.
Step 17
The frequency of backwash is factory preset at every 4 days. If the Iron content is greater than 5 ppm, is red water or bacterial iron, the
unit should be washed more frequently. See tables to determine the frequency. Also if the water has tannin-lignin or hydrogen sulfi de
present, the fi lter should backwash every day. Refer to Section 5 for backwashing instructions and frequency.
