A. SAFETY GUIDES

•Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and us-

ing your new water filter. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install.

Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property dam-

age. Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from

your water filter.

•Your automatic filter will remove iron from your water supply as de-

scribed on page 2-3. Also see the specifications on page 4-1. It will

not soften hard water, purify contaminated water, or make other unsafe

water safe to drink. Sears advises you to install a water softener, along

with the iron filter, to remove iron that may get through the filter.

•Protect the filter and piping from freezing. Damage from freezing

voids the filter warranty. See page 3-3.

•Connect the filter to the house COLD water (120 °max.) pipe only.

DO NOT CONNECT TO HOT WATER. Hot water will damage inner parts

and weaken or break the tank or bottle.

D. SANITIZING THE WATER FILTER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water filter

as clean and sanitary as possible. However, it is sug-

gested that the sanitizing procedure below is follo-

wed ,_1_

oPress and hold the RE-

CHARGE button until

"RECHARGE NOW"

begins to flash in the

display. The valve mo-

tor begins to run to advance the filter into the

"fill" cycle. Water flows through the plastic tub-

ing and you will see the potassium permanga-

nate bottle begin to fill.

7. Put one teaspoon (0.1 ounce) of calcium hypo-

chlorite into the valve inlet as far as possible.

NOTE: You can buy calcium hypochlorite in tablet

or granular form under trade names such as Perch-

loron and HTH.

go Be sure the valve inlet is clean, for a good seal-

ing surface for the valve adaptor o-ring. Then,

reconnect plumbing to the filter. AFTER

INSTALLING THE LARGE PLASTIC CLIP,

PULL OUTWARD ON THE VALVE ADAPTOR

TO BE SURE IT'S PROPERLY HELD IN

PLACE.

ao As the bottle begins to fill with water, press the

RECHARGE button again. In about one min-

ute, you will see a slow flow of water begin out

the valve drain hose.

Do Wait about 30 seconds, then press the RE-

CHARGE button once more. As the valve re-

positions again, a fast flow from the filter drain

hose begins. This is the filter "backwash" cycle.

Allow the filter to backwash for several min-

utes.

Press the RECHARGE button to advance the fil-

ter from backwash to "fast rinse" cycle. (Water

from the drain hose stops momentarily, the be-

gins again).

After about two minutes of fast rinse, PUT THE

BYPASS VALVE(S) IN BYPASS POSITION (SEE

FIGURE 11, PAGE 4-1). Then press the RE-

CHARGE button once again to return the filter

to "service" position. DOING THIS RELEASES

WATER PRESSURE IN THE FILTER.

oCarefully remove the large plastic clip at the fil-

ter valve inlet (pages 6-3 and 6-4). Pull the

valve adaptor from the valve inlet.

NOTE: If bypass valve, Sears part no. 7129871 is

installed, or if plumbing is too rigid to move, also

disconnect the outlet side and move the filter away

from plumbing.

oSLOWLY, reposition the bypass valve(s) to ser-

vice, Figure 11, page 4-1. Open the nearest fil:

tered water faucet until you can smell chlorine,

then close.

10. Again, put the bypass valve(s) in bypass posi-

tion. Allow the filter to stand idle for about 45

minutes, while the chlorine sanitizes.

NOTE: If needed, adjust the feeder valve tube for

potassium permanganate use, page 1-6. Then,

complete the following steps.

11. After 45 minutes, return the bypass valve(s) to

service position.

12. Repeat steps 4, 4a, 4b and 4c to advance the filter

to backwash. The timer will automatically ad-

vance the filter through the backwash and fast

rinse cycles, during which the sanitizing bleach

is flushed to the drain.

NOTE: The backwash and fast rinse cycles take

about 25 minutes. When over, the timer automati-

cally returns the filter to service (water flow from the

drain hose stops).

13. Open house filtered water faucets and allow to

run until the chlorine odor is gone.

_ Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water sup-

plies, the water filter may need periodic disinfecting.

E. ADJUSTING FOR POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE USE

The filter is factory set to use about two ounces of po-

tassium permanganate each recharge. That's how

much is needed to keep the mineral bed working the

way it should. However, if you recharge the filer

more often than needed less potassium permanga-

nate is needed each time. to drain

The valve (Figure 3) has a tube that raises and lowers

into the bottle. It has two settings marked on it. The

"A" mark, or factory setting, is for two ounces of po-

tassium permanganate. The "B" setting is for one

ounce.

To change the setting, loosen the adjustment nut.

Raise the tube until "B" lines up with the top of the

nut, then tighten the nut.

IMPORTANT: For proper recharging of the mineral

bed, use the "A" setting. Use the "B" setting ONLY

if the filter is set to recharge more often than the table

on page 1-4 shows. Improper recharging will

shorten the useful life of the mineral bed.

SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS

A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES

RECHARGE NOW

For times you expect to use more

water than usual, use the RE-

CHARGE NOW feature. Press the

RECHARGE button and hold in

for three seconds. "RECHARGE

NOW" begins to flash in the dis-

play and a recharge starts right

away. You will have filtered water

when the recharge is over in about

two hours.

VACATION

The day you leave on vacation or

other long absence, press and re-

lease (do not hold) the RE-

CHARGE button. "VAC" begins

to flash in the display. The timer

will keep time, but the filter will

not recharge and waste water and

potassium permanganate solu-

tion.

When you return, press and release the RECHARGE

button again to return the filter to service, and the

correct time of day will show in the display. Remem-

ber to do this or the filter will not recharge and you

will soon have iron in your water supply.

NOTE: While in VACATION, the filter will go

through a recharge if the RECHARGE NOW feature

is used.

To shut off the water supply to the filter, use the

plumbing bypass valve(s)... Figure 11 on page 4-1.

ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in the faceplate display

if a problem occurs in the filter electronics. If you see

and error code instead of the present time of day,

please call your local Sears Service Department for

service.

SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS

A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES

The default settings for fill (3:00 minutes), brine

draw (80 minutes), backwash (20 minutes) and fast

rinse (5 minutes) cycles of regeneration are factory

set for maximum performance of the filter. Use the

following procedures to check for correct cycle

times, or to change if desired. However, only

trained technicians should change the time set-

tings.

FILL

Press and hold the SELECT button until the display

shows "000--', then press the SELECT button once

to display the Fill time screen.

Using the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the back-

wash time from 0 minutes to 60 minutes.

ADJUSTABLE FAST RINSE

Press and hold the SELECT button until the display

shows "000--', then press the SELECT button four

times to advance to the Fast Rinse time adjust

screen.

This setting should stay at the 3:00 minute fill time.

ADJUSTABLE BRINE DRAW

Press and hold the SELECT button until the display

shows "000- -", then press the SELECT button twice

to advance to the Brine Draw time adjust screen.

Using the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the brine

draw time from 0 minutes to 255 minutes.

ADJUSTABLE BACKWASH

Press and hold the SELECT button until the display

shows "000--', then press the SELECT button three

times to advance to the Backwash time adjust

screen.

Using the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the fast

rinse time from 0 minutes to 60 minutes.

TIMER "POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY"

If electrical power to the timer is interrupted, the

"memory" built into timer circuitry keeps time for 6

hours (minimum) or more. The display is blank and

the filter will not regenerate. When electrical power

comes on, one of two things will happen.

1. The present time of day will show steady, mean-

ing the timer has not lost time.

oThe display will show a time, but it will be flash-

ing. The timer memory did not keep the time

setting and must be reset (page 1-3). If you do

not reset the time, regenerations will most likely

be at the wrong time of day.

NOTE: The flashing display is to remind you to reset

the timer.

NOTE: If the filter was in a recharge when power

was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER FilTER WORKS

B. IRON IN WATER /HOW FILTER REMOVES IT

IMPORTANT: Sears water filters are sometimes installed alone in the water system, but most often other wa-

ter treating equipment is needed. Always be sure to have your water tested by a qualified testing laboratory.

If you need help, ask at your Sears store, or call the Kenmore Water Line, 1- 800- 426- 9345.

Iron in water causes many problems, from making

rust stains on clothing, plumbing fixtures, etc. to

making food and beverages look and taste bad. Two

common kinds of iron are -

- Clear Water (FERROUS) iron is the most common.

Water with ferrous iron is clear when taken from a

faucet. After standing for 15 to 30 minutes, the water

turns to a yellow or brown color.

- Red Water (FERRIC) iron is rusty or brown as it

comes out of a faucet.

Your Sears Automatic Iron Filter will remove up to

20 parts per million (ppm) of the ferrous and/or fer-

ric kinds of iron. Sears advises you to install a water

softener in the water system after the iron filter, to re-

move any iron that may get through the filter.

NOTE: Bacterial iron is another common kind. If

forms stringy mud like clumps in the water. If you

think you have bacterial iron, have a water sample

tested by Sears Water Analysis Laboratory. They

will tell you what is needed to treat the bacterial iron.

THIS FILTER WILL NOT REMOVE BACTERIAL

IRON FROM WATER.

The iron filter is filled with a special manganese

coated mineral. The filtering mineral bed is made up

of thousands of small, odd shaped, pebble like

pieces. The mineral does two things; (1) OXIDIZES

iron and, (2) FILTERS iron.

(1)OXIDIZE - Iron most often is dissolved (clear wa-

ter iron) in water supplies. You can't see it and, in

this form, it is not filterable. When clear water iron

comes in contact with oxygen for a few minutes, the

iron changes to a solid form (red water iron) that you

can see. The filtering mineral gives off the oxygen to

make the iron change (oxidize) to red water iron.

@ FILTER - Iron, in the oxidized or red water form,

is filtered and held within the mineral bed during

service. The iron is then cleaned from the mineral

bed during recharge with a potassium permanga-

nate solution, and backwashing.

SERVICE (Figure 7) - The water supply, with iron in

it, flows into and downward through the filter. The

mineral bed in the filter oxidizes, gathers and holds

the iron. Clear, iron free water goes out the filter and

to the house pipes.

RECHARGE - In time, the filtering mineral has giv-

en off all the oxygen it can, and the bed is filled with

the iron it has gathered. Then the mineral needs a re-

charge (or regeneration) to give it a new oxygen sup-

ply and to clean iron out. FILL, SOLUTION DRAW/

RINSE, BACKWASH and FAST RINSE are stages of

the recharge (Figure 8).

FILL water flows to a bottle filled with potassium

permanganate powder during the first stage of re-

charge. The bottle fills with water to a preset level,

until stopped by a float shutoff. In the bottle, water

dissolves some of the potassium permanganate

powder so a solution is ready for the solution draw

cycle. The fill cycle lasts for 1-1/2 minutes.

During the 80 minute SOLUTION DRAW/RINSE,

potassium permanganate solution is passed

through the filter mineral to replace the oxygen. A

suction takes the solution from the bottle and puts

it into the mineral tank. The potassium permanga-

nate rinses slowly through the filtering mineral,

then goes out of the filter to the drain.

WATER OUT WATER

Mineral

IMPORTANT: Avoid using water in the house

while the filter is regenerating. Bypass iron water

will go to house pipes and the water heater during

the solution draw and backwash cycles if a faucet is

opened.

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 loos-

ens and flushes the gathered iron out of the bed. The

iron goes with the flow of water to the drain. Any po-

tassium permanganate still in the bed is also flushed

out. The backwash is 20 minutes long.

After backwash, water goes DOWN through the fil-

ter (FAST RINSE) for 5 minutes. The mineral bed is

packed and made ready for return to service. Rinse

water goes to the drain.

IF YOUR WATER 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 gone. See page 3-4 if the pink color ap-

A. CHANGING THE POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE BOTTLE

IT IS IMPORTANT that you

change the bottle before all the po-

tassium permanganate is gone. If

the filter goes too long without a

regeneration with potassium per-

manganate, the filtering mineral

will lose its manganese coating

and you can't replace it. New min-

eral and the service call to change

it are costly. You can buy replace-

ment bottles from Sears, Stock No.

42- 34417.

HOW LONG DOES A BOTTLE

OF POTASSIUM PERMANGA-

NATE LAST? How long a bottle

lasts depends on how often the fil-

ter regenerates and how much po-

tassium permanganate is used.

You can use the chart as a guide to

tell you about how long it will last.

BULK POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE POWDER:

If purchased and used in bulk form, DO NOT OVER

FILL THE BOTTLE. Fill with only 6 lbs. of powder

(see note below). Too much powder will stop or re-

strict solution flow from the bottle. Before filling, be

sure to thoroughly clean the bottle.

WARNING: Handle the bottle with care. Potassium

Permanganate stains deeply. Do not get it on your

clothes or your skin. You should wear old clothes

when changing the bottle. Please read the warning

printed on the bottle.

STEPS TO CHANGE THE BOTTLE

CHANGE THE BOTTLE WHILE THE FILTER IS

IN SERVICE AND NOT WHILE IN REGENERA-

TION (be sure "RECHARGE NOW" is not flashing

in timer display).

1. Turn the used bottle out of the feeder valve. Do

not lose the large o-ring on the bottom of the

valve.

oTurn the new bottle into the feeder valve until

you feel the o-ring touch the top lip of the

bottle. Then tighten another 1/8 turn. DO NOT

OVER TIGHTEN SO THE O- RING WILL NOT

SEAL.

6. Shake the bottle to level the powder.

7. Place the bottle onto the base.

oPlace the used bottle in a leak proof plastic bag

and discard it in a safe place and manner so chil-

dren cannot get to it.

3. Remove the cover from the new bottle.

NOTE: The new bottle is only partly filled (about 6

lbs.) with potassium permanganate powder. The

empty part of the bottle is needed so it can fill with

water to dissolve the powder.

oPut a light coat of Vaseline or silicone grease on

the valve to bottle o- ring seal. If not already in

place, put the o-ring in the groove on the bot-

tom of the feeder valve.

B. CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (Figure 10) is a must for

the filter to work right. This small unit moves potas-

sium permanganate solution from the bottle, into

the mineral bed during solution draw (page 2- 3). If

the nozzle and venturi becomes plugged with iron,

sand, silt, dirt, etc., it cannot make the suction to

move the solution. Without this solution during re-

generation, the mineral bed will not be cleaned as it

should.

Clean the nozzle and venturi each time you change

the bottle. If your water supply has high amounts of

iron, sand, silt, etc., you may have to clean the nozzle

and venturi more often.

To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the filter

top cover. Be sure the filter is in service cycle (no wa-

ter pressure at nozzle and venturi), then twist off the

cap from the nozzle and venturi housing. DO NOT

LOSE THE LARGE O-RING SEAL. Lift out the

screen support and screen, then the nozzle and ven-

turi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until

clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or

dirt. Also check and clean the gasket and flow plug

if dirty.

C. KEEP THE FILTER FROM FREEZING

If the filter is installed where it could freeze (summer

cabin, lake home, etc.) you must drain all water from

it to stop possible damage caused by freezing. To

drain the filter-

1. Close the shutoff valve on the house main water

pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.

2. Open a faucet in the filtered water pipes to vent

pressure in the filter.

3. Looking at Figure 11 on page 4-1, move the

stem in a single bypass valve to bypass. Close

the inlet and outlet valves in a three valve by-

pass system, and open the bypass valve.

Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.

Pull the holding clip to remove the drain fitting,

with drain hose attached, from the valve. DO

NOT LOSE THE BLACK RUBBER FLOW

PLUG AND RETAINER.

Looking at page 11 in the installation manual,

remove the plastic clips and pull the adaptors or

bypass valve from the inlet and outlet.

oRemove the bottle and feeder valve from the

base. Store the bottle in a warm, safe place

where it will not spill, and AWAY FROM CHIL-

DREN.

If you do not have a place to SAFELY store the bottle,

turn the feeder valve off and flush with fresh water.

Dump the liquid contents of the bottle down the

drain. Place the bottle in a plastic bag and discard in

a safe place and manner so children cannot get to it.

Move the filter close to the floor drain. SLOWLY

and CAREFULLY (the filter is heavy) tip the fil-

ter over so the valve inlet and outlet are over the

drain. DO NOT REST THE FILTER ON THE IN-

LET AND OUTLET FITTINGS OR THEY WILL

BREAK.

Tip the bottom of the filter up a few inches and

hold until all water has drained. Leave the filter

laying like this until you are ready to use it. Plug

the inlet and outlet with rags to keep dirt, bugs,

etc. out.

ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

1. Does the time display show the correct time of

day?

...If display is blank, check power source to the filter.

...If time is flashing, power was off for over two

days. The filter resumes normal operation but re-

charges occur at the wrong time.

2. Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be in SERVICE

position (see Figure 11, page 4-1).

3. The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the fil-

ter inlet and outlet respectively.

4. Is the transformer plugged into a "live" grounded

wall outlet, and the power cable fastened securely?

5. The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and

sharp bends.

MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTICS

Use the following procedures to advance the filter

valve through the regeneration cycles to check op-

eration.

Remove the top cover to observe cam and switch op-

eration during valve rotation.

DISPLAY MUST SHOW TIME AND DAY

...restriction in valve drain, causing a back- pressure

(bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.),

...obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing

...inner valve failure (obstructed rotor disc, wave

washer defective, etc.)

3. Again press the RECHARGE button to move the

valve into backwash. Look for a fast flow of water

from the drain hose (see specifications, page 4-1).

1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button for 3 sec-

onds until RECHARGE NOW flashes in the display

and the filter moves into the fill cycle.

...An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top dis-

tributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

Be sure household water pressure (well system) is

maintained at a minimum of 20 psi. Adjust the

pump switch upward, if needed.

...If the motor does not run, check the motor and all

wiring connections.

Check for fill water flow to the brine tank. If water

does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed

nozzle and venturi, fill flow plug or brine tubing.

2. After verifying fill, press the RECHARGE button

to move the valve into solution draw. A slow flow of

water to the drain will begin. Verify solution draw

from the brine tank by shining the flashlight into the

brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liq-

uid level.

If the unit does not draw brine, check for...

...dirty or defective nozzle and venturi

...nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or

gasket defective

4. Press the RECHARGE button to move the filter
