CLEANING TIPS
Filter-Mate Potassium Permanganate
Please follow cautions and instructions on the label carefully.
Regeneration - Normal procedure for regenerating an iron filter is usually specified by the filter manufacturer or supplier and depends on water quality. There are many types, designs and methods of introducing Potassium Permanganate to the filter. A normal method is to make a solution and apply automatically or manually to the filter at regular intervals. If unsure consult owners manual.
Dosage - For each cubic foot of filter media, 4-6 ozs. dry Potassium Permanganate is required. It may be added directly to the filter or mixed with water and added as a solution. 4 ozs. of Potassium Permanganate will dissolve in 1 gal. of water at room temperature.
General Information - Stains can be removed from the skin with a diluted solution of sodium bisulfite or lemon juice.

CLEANING TIPS
Filter-Mate Chlorine Pellets
Please follow cautions and instructions on the label carefully.
Dry Pellet Chlorinators - 1. Shock treat the well to a chlorine residual level of 5 ppm (parts per million) by dropping pellets directly into the well. 2. Adjust chlorinator pellet feed rate to retain a chlorine residual of .6 to 3 ppm. 3. Use test kit provided with your chlorinator or purchased from your dealer to determine your chlorine residual.
Temporary Well Sanitation - 1. Private Well: New wells & wells that have had service work should be disinfected before returning to use. A strong solution of chlorine, 200 ppm, is recommended to destroy disease causing organisms that may be present in the water. Filter-Mate Chlorine Pellets can be used to disinfect wells, cisterns, storage tanks & water lines. However, the amount of chlorine needed is dependent on the amount of water that must be treated. To provide approximately 200 ppm chlorine residual in each 100 gal. of water treated, 1/4 lb. or 110 pellets must be added to the water. 2. Water Mains: Add enough pellets to water line or main to shock system with desired residual. Normally 100-200 ppm (each pellet contains 180 ppm per gallon of chlorine).

CLEANING TIPS
Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner
Please follow cautions and instructions on the label carefully.
Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner will chemically clean the fouled resin bed of a water softener and restore the exchange capacity of the resin. Over time, most types of water softener resins can become fouled with iron and other contaminants that decrease the performance and efficiency of the ion exchange system. This fouling can also cause channeling, pressure drop, loss of capacity, water hardness, and iron leakage. Dont let this happen to your softener! Regular use of Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner will minimize fouling, prevent mineral buildup on parts, and extend the life of your softeners resin.
FIRST APPLICATION FOR A FOULED UNIT Use 4 oz. (1/2 cup) of Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner per cubic foot of softener resin. (Most residential softeners contain approximately 1 cubic foot of resin. If unsure, check your owners manual.) Pour Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner directly into brine well. If your softener has no brine well, pour Filter-Mate Liquid Softener Cleaner directly into salt tank when salt is low. Manually regenerate the softener. Repeat regeneration if taste, odor, or discoloration is detected in discharge, then run cold soft water tap nearest the softener until water tastes, smells, and appears normal.
REGULAR/MAINTENANCE USE Add 1-2 ozs. (1 tbsp.) per cubic foot of resin at each regeneration.
AUTOMATIC FEEDER SYSTEMS For best results, use with an automatic resin-cleaning feeder system. Fill the feeder to the FILL mark indicated on the feeder but do not overfill. Add more Filter-Mate when the solution level drops to or below the REFILL line on the label.
