About the 00M20821 Model.

These Silex Systems are designed for users that require very low conductivity

(High Resistivity) water with low TOC and Microbiological levels.

How does the Silex Deionizer work?

Silex is a simple, maintenance-free system. When the monitor light signals that

the product water quality has reached below the desired quality setpoint, simply

exchange the resin packs and send them to AmeriWater for regeneration.

How does the regeneration work?

The AmeriWater regeneration center maintains the resin used in the Silex

Deionizer. When resin packs are exhausted, replace the packs in the Silex

system with “stand-by” resin packs and return the exhausted pack to AmeriWater

for regeneration. The resin will be regenerated and returned the next business

day after receipt. It’s as simple as that!

About the resin pack.

The resin has a shelf life of approximately one year. The resin pack consists of

resin contained in a knitted bag that never has to be opened. Resin packs are

shipped in plastic sleeves to prevent the exchangers from drying out.

Complete satisfaction is guaranteed.

If you are unhappy with the Silex Deionizer, simply return the system within 30

days of purchase for a full refund. You will only be billed for the regeneration of

the resin packs and cartridge filters that were used during the 30-day trial period.

SILEX FEATURES

INSTALLATION IN 10 EASY STEPS

1. Locate the Silex system on a firm, level foundation.

2. It is recommended, but not required, to locate

the system near a standard floor drain or sump

and a 115 Volt receptacle.

3. It is recommended to install shut-off valves on

the inlet and outlet sides of each unit to

facilitate changing of resin packs.

4. Connect the inlet supply hose to the hose barb

fitting on the left side of the system (while

facing the label). Use the hose clamps

provided with the system to secure the hose to

the hose barb fitting.

SILEX HOSE KIT # 0119-0006

NOTE: 16 feet of hose has been provided with the Silex system. Cut the

hose to the desired lengths for the inlet hose and outlet hose and

install the provided fittings as needed.

5. Connect the outlet hose to the hose barb fitting on the right side of the

system (while facing the label). Use the hose clamps provided with the

system to secure the hose to the hose barb fitting.

6. The Silex Deionizer is designed to operate at pressures up to 50 PSI

(Pounds per Square Inch). A regulator has been installed on the inlet of

the Silex system to adjust incoming pressure. The maximum flow for each

deionizer is 3 GPM (Gallons Per Minute).

7. Install the optional pre-filter, post-filter, and/or monitors (if applicable) per

the instructions provided with the optional equipment.

8. Install the resin pack(s):

a. Remove the cover plates by

unscrewing the four black

knobs on each plate. To

break the seal between the

cover plates and the upper

plates, use a slotted screw

driver in the pry notch located

in the top of each upper plate.

Open the drain valve at the

bottom of each column.

b. Remove the resin pack from

the shipping box and open the

tied end of the plastic sleeve.

DO NOT remove the resin

pack from the plastic sleeve at

this time.

c. Stretch the resin pack

over your arm to

elongate the pack, and

feed it into the Silex

column allowing the pack

to slide out of the plastic

sleeve.

d. Replace the cover plate and

tighten the black knobs. Be sure

to tighten the knobs evenly by

screwing in the knobs in opposite

corners simultaneously. Repeat

for the other two corners.

e. Close the drain valve at the

bottom of the column.

f. Repeat steps a. through e. for each of the columns.

9. Open the air vents located on the top of the

cover plates and turn on the water supply.

Tighten the air vents closed when water begins

to escape through the vents.

10. Allow several gallons of water to run through the

Silex system. Continue running water through

the system until the resistivity meter starts to

rise. Turn off flow and turn on recirculation

pump.

AIR VENT

RECIRCULATION PUMP & RESISTIVITY

CONTROLLER

1. The ON/OFF switch turns on the recirculation pump which freshens the

system. Leave the pump off when not in use. Do not use the pump to

vent the system. Never operate the pump dry.

2. The resistivity controller monitors and measures the product quality

between 0.015 and 18.17 Meg-ohms/cm.

Reminder for Adjusting the Set-Point

An alarm lock occurs when the water quality goes below the low set-point

creating an alarm. For the alarm condition to clear, the water quality must rise

above the high set-point. When adjusting the set-point, it is suggested to set the

high set-point range 1 to 5 megohms above the low set-point to offset the alarm

lock.

Setting Set-points on Resistivity Controller

1. Press and hold the SET-POINT button on the resistivity controller and

press the ADJUST button.

2. Release both buttons. –LO- will be displayed momentarily, followed by

the current low set-point value.

3. The LCD’s highest digit will be displayed first. To change this, press the

SET-POINT button until the desired first digit is displayed.

4. Toggle to the next lower digit by depressing the ADJUST button.

5. Depress SET-POINT to change to the desired value and ADJUST to go to

the next lowest digit.

6. Continue these sequences until the desired –LO- set point value is

entered.

7. Press the ADJUST button. –HI- will be displayed momentarily, followed

by the current high set-point value.

8. The value can be adjusted in the same manner as the –LO- set point.

Adjusting Relay Resistivity Time Delay

The delay on the relay timer can be set from 0-120 seconds to allow for rinse up

of the equipment. To modify the settings, take the following steps.

1. Press and hold DELAY then press the ADJUST button.

2. Release both buttons. The display’s hundreds digit will flash.

3. To change this digit, press DELAY button repeatedly until the desired

number is achieved.

4. Press the ADJUST button to toggle to the tenths digit.

5. To change this digit, press the DELAY button repeatedly until the desired

number is achieved.

6. Press the ADJUST button to toggle to the final digit.

7. Press the DELAY button repeatedly until the desired number is achieved.

8. The monitor will automatically return to its normal operating modes after a

short interval. Any changes made will be automatically saved.

Using the Resistivity Relay

The resistivity controller has an on-board single pole, double throw relay that is

rated at 1 amp @ 28VDC and 0.5 amp at 120VAC. This has both normally open

and normally closed contacts, allowing for control both above and below the set-

points.

The relay acts simply as a switch. When the water quality is above the set-point

(Green LED), the relay is in a de-energized state and there is a completed circuit

between the COM and NC terminals of the relay. If the water quality is below the

set-point (Red LED), the relay is energized completing the circuit between the

COM and NO terminals, while simultaneously disconnecting the COM / NC

circuit. FIGURE 1 shows the connection location for the relay in the resistivity

controller.

Resistivity Meter Calibration

The resistivity meter should never require calibration. It is recommended to

verify the accuracy of the resistivity meter annually by comparing the value

shown on the meter against a sample from the post filter sample port and

analyzing this with a known good hand meter. In the event that the reading

cannot be verified within 5% accuracy, calibration can be performed as follows.

1. Power down the device and remove the line cord from the power source.

2. Open the access door to the electrical enclosure and remove the 4 screws

on the rear of the resistivity meter.

3. Remove the cover and locate the calibration trimmer (FIGURE 2), CAL /

R16, on the lower edge of the circuit board.

4. Locate TB1 and the 5 cell wires leading to positions 7-11.

5. Loosen the screws and disconnect the 5 cell wires.
