How long before your filter cartridge gets clogged enough to call for changing the cartridge? We don't loose any P.S.I for long time (like 30 to 60days) if even that long our set-up has a holding tank/cistern 500gal that oxidizes the solution. if I had sent you some pics of the bottom of...

Ditto,Thank you and I'am sick of saying that,LOL Ok The part were you wrote ;;to do a proper test, the water should be run for at least three bed/tank volumes at a specified flow rate. Katalox Light, should be tested at around 3 GPM per Cubic Foot. If I have 1cft and a 10x40 tank and a PSI of...

OH,Ok Got it Thanks Gary I got this unit real cheap and the person never place in service? a little confused on Master/default settings this far? But love learning this stuff and this forum.

Reach4 Thanks for that link..I found some important info Page8 states Do not set time of day @ 12.01Pm when entering (start-up Program mode) doing so causes the head to enter Master prog. and will alter Factory settings resulting in system malfunction and I think I did just that??? oopps!!! I...
