total capacity by the percentage entered for Parameter P16 and uses that value as the initial average daily usage for each day of the week until water usage establishes new averages. The default is set for 30% of the capacity. In most installations this is acceptable. -
Page 18: Removing The Valve Assembly For Servicing
Water Usage Pattern The other reserve option allows the control to adjust the reserve based upon the historical water usage pattern of the system. The control keeps track of the water usage for each day of the week and uses that day’s average usage multiplied by 1.2 as the reserve for that day. -
Page 19: Water Meter
Water Meter Maintenance The metering device used with the 960 demand controls may require simple maintenance. In rare instances, the turbine wheel of the water meter can collect small particles of oxidized iron, eventually preventing the wheel from turning. 1. Shut off the water supply or put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. - Page 20 Figure 14 6. Disconnect the turbine probe from the turbine assembly. 7. Lift the control off the valve, Figure 15. To replace the control, reverse the above procedure. Note that the camshaft needs to be positioned correctly before it can be inserted into the back of the control. There is a locating arrow on the camshaft.

Page 31: Disinfection Of Water Conditioners
Disinfection of Water Conditioners The materials of construction of the modern water conditioner will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. However, the normal conditions existing during shipping, storage and installation indicate the advisability of disinfecting a conditioner after installation, before the conditioner is used to treat potable water. - Page 32 © Copyright 2005 General Electric Company Printed in USA P/N 1227756 Rev.
