When solution draw is over, the filter goes into
BACKWASH. During backwash, water goes UP
through the mineral at a fast flow. The fast flow
loosens and flushes the gathered iron out of the bed.
The iron goes with the flow ofwater to the drain. Any
potassium permanganate still in the bed is also
flushed out. The backwash is 16 minutes long.
BACKWASH

After backwash, water goes DOWN through the filter
(FAST RINSE) for 8 minutes. The mineral bed is
packed and made ready for return to service. Rinse
water goes to the drain.
IF yOUR WATEER HAS A PINK COLOR AFTER THE
FILTER HAS FINISHED RECHARGE, open a faucet
nearby the filter and let the water run until the pink
color is gone. See page 17 if the pink color appears
after every recharge.
