AquaticLife 540710 2×10 Deionized Spot-Free Car Rinse Plus Instruction Manual

AquaticLife 540710 2×10 Deionized Spot-Free Car Rinse Plus

OVERVIEW

Water quality is often measured by the amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water. It is the TDS in the water that leaves spots on a vehicle when the water evaporates. By removing the TDS, a spot-free rinse is achieved.
Removing TDS is accomplished by filtering the water through a resin that is charged with Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-). As the resin absorbs the TDS, it will change color. When the entire resin has changed color, it is time to replace the DI cartridge.

OPERATING GUIDELINES

The maximum incoming water pressure for the unit is 80 PSI. If the pressure is more than 80 PSI, a pressure regulator is required.
Deionized water should not be run through a copper tube. The pure DI water can leach copper from the pipe, eventually leading to holes in the pipe.
DO NOT pressurize and operate the unit unattended.

To avoid rapid depletion of your cartridges, DO NOT use the spot-free rinse for steps 1-3.
NOTE: Filter cartridge life will vary based on local water conditions & amount of use.

INSTALL THE ADAPTER

• Step 1 – Apply three wraps of the pipe tape to the ½” MPT fittings.

• Step 2 – Insert a ½” rubber washer into the side labeled SUPPLY then thread the FEMALE hose fitting into that side. Tighten with a wrench, but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

• Step 3 – Insert a 1/2″ rubber washer into the side labeled FILTERED and then thread the Quick Connect x 1/2″ MPT fitting into that side. HAND-TIGHTEN ONLY.

MOUNTING THE UNIT

WARNING: DO NOT mount the unit outside or in a direct sunlight area. This will affect the performance of the unit.
Mount to a secure surface so the cartridges can be easily replaced as needed.
Use screws designed for the type of surface that the DI unit will hang on. Leave the screws extending about 1/8″ from the surface then hang the metal bracket on the screws.

INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGES

Remove the resin cartridges from the wrappers and center them in the clear canisters.
Hand-tighten the canisters to canister heads and use the canister wrench to tighten approximately another 1/4 turn. Each canister is sealed with an o-ring on the canister top and inside the top of the unit housing for a total of four o-rings per Spot-Free Car Rinse unit.

HOSE & NOZZLE INSTALLATION

Use a hose with standard garden hose threads to connect the SUPPLY side of the deionization unit to a water supply.
Use the included orange Water Saver Hose to connect to the FILTERED side of the deionization unit. Place a 3/4″ Washer into the end of the rinsing nozzle and attach the Quick Connect
x 3/4″ Garden Hose Thread into the end of the rinsing nozzle. Tighten with a wrench, but
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

UNIT STORAGE

Between use, it is important for the resin to remain wet. Ideal storage would be leaving the water hoses attached and canisters filled with water. If you remove the water hoses from the ends of the Spot Free Rinse, ensure that the water in the canisters is not allowed to evaporate.
Avoid storing in an area that could freeze or temperatures could raise above 100°F. Never store the unit in direct sunlight.

UNIT MAINTENANCE

The deionization cartridges are designed to change color when the resin inside is exhausted. When the entire cartridge has changed color, it is time to replace.

NOTE: When changing the exhausted cartridge, move the second cartridge to the first position & install the new cartridge in the second position. This will maximize the use of the resin.

OPERATION & CONSIDERATIONS

• Operating pressure greater than 80 PSI requires a pressure regulator.

•  With initial operation, check for leaks.
  If a leak is observed, verify there is enough plumber’s tape on the brass fitting and the 1/2″ rubber washers are installed. Also check that the canisters and caps are sealed properly with their orings.

• Most of the components in the deionization unit are plastic and subject to damage by ultraviolet light.

•  Never store the unit in direct sunlight or other bright lights.

• Do not store or operate the unit in temperatures above 100°F.

• Do not store or operate the unit in freezing temperatures.

• Do not leave the unit unattended while connected to a water supply.

• Do not operate unit if canisters or other components show any signs of damage.

CHANGING WATER FLOW DIRECTION

Depending on your installation, it may be desirable to have the water supply flow in on the left side of the unit and filtered flow out of the right side. This can be achieved by removing the eight screws on top of the metal mounting bracket and rotating the plastic canister head assembly 180 degrees.

CARTRIDGE LIFE – The resin in DI cartridges remove a set amount of TDS from water. The higher the TDS going into the DI cartridge, the quicker the resin will be depleted.
