Kinetico Backwashing Filter Series
Maintaining Your Kinetico Series Backwashing Filter
The media used in your Kinetico Series Backwashing Filter will provide you
with years of service, but certain media may eventually require replenishment
or replacement. How long the filtering media lasts depends on your specific
water conditions. If the problem your system was installed to correct returns,
it could mean your water conditions have changed and your system may only
require a slight adjustment by your local, authorized Kinetico dealer. Your
Kinetico water professional will determine if the system needs adjustments or
if the media bed needs to be replenished.
Manual Backwash
If your water problem reappears, manually backwash your system to see if the
change in your water conditions is temporary.
To manually backwash your filter, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down
firmly on the filter valve screw located on top of the control valve and slowly
turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator dot to the
"BACKWASH" position. You should hear at least five "clicks" while turning
the screw before the indicator dot reaches the "BACKWASH" position. At
this point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do
not hear water running through the system, the indicator dot has not been
advanced far enough and you must repeat the previous procedure. After one
tank backwashes, repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after the
water flow stops to be sure both media tanks are backwashed.
