Setting Up the System
- Positioning the Tank: Place the mineral tank on a level, stable surface. Confirm the tank's orientation matches the flow direction marked on the control valve.
- Connecting the Control: Attach the control valve to the mineral tank, ensuring the flow path aligns correctly. Use the supplied connectors and verify they are secure to prevent leaks.
- Installing the Remote Meter: Mount the remote meter in a location that permits easy reading and access. Connect it to the control as specified.
- Adding Gravel Underbed: Fill the bottom of the tank with the provided gravel underbed. Proper placement of the gravel is critical for media support and optimal flow distribution.
- Loading Media: Load the predetermined amount of catalytic media into the tank, following the media chart provided. Do not overfill or underfill, as this can affect flow and treatment efficiency.
Final Checks and Commissioning
After assembly, verify all connections are tight and there are no leaks. Turn on the water supply and observe system operation. Ensure the control is functioning smoothly, and test the remote meter to confirm accurate readings. Initiate a regeneration cycle to confirm the system resets properly and that the air-injection process is functioning as intended.
Operational Tips
- Regularly monitor the remote meter readings to track system performance and schedule regenerations accordingly.
- Check for leaks periodically, especially after initial setup or media loading.
- Follow recommended media loading and regeneration procedures to maintain optimal water quality and system efficiency.

Signs the current setup is failing
Homeowners may notice several signs indicating that their existing water treatment system is not functioning effectively. Common symptoms include discolored water, which can appear brown or yellow due to rust or sediment. An increase in water hardness, characterized by soap not lathering or scale buildup on faucets, is another telling sign. Additionally, unpleasant tastes or odors in tap water, such as a metallic or rotten egg smell, can signal that the system is failing to remove contaminants. You might also experience inconsistent water pressure, making showers or faucet use less enjoyable. If your laundry is coming out dingy or your dishes have spots after washing, these could be indications of poor water quality that your current setup cannot manage. Regularly monitoring these signs can help in determining when to consider upgrading to a more capable system, like the recommended 1" x 1" FxF 24" Flex Connection.
What untreated water costs over time
Choosing to ignore water treatment issues can lead to significant long-term costs, both practical and non-monetary. Over time, untreated water can contribute to plumbing issues such as corroded pipes, which may necessitate expensive repairs or replacements. Appliances like dishwashers and water heaters can also suffer damage from hard water deposits, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. Moreover, the health risks associated with contaminants in untreated water, like bacteria or heavy metals, can lead to potential medical expenses and decreased quality of life for you and your family. Not to mention, ongoing maintenance for laundry and cleaning can increase as clothes become dull or stained and surfaces require more frequent scrubbing. The cumulative effect can weigh heavily on household budgets and daily convenience, reinforcing the need for a reliable water treatment solution for your home.
