1INTRODUCTION & WARNINGS

Congratulations on your decision to use AmeriWater Pretreatment Water Purification

Equipment! Federal law restricts this device to be sold unless by or on the order of a

physician for use as a water purification device for hemodialysis.

Your Water Purification Equipment was thoroughly tested and in excellent condition when it

was shipped to you. However, because damage during shipment is possible, please unpack

and carefully inspect as soon as you receive it. Please notify AmeriWater immediately if any

problems or shipping damages are identified.

Please read the Operation Manual before using the system. Contact AmeriWater

Technical Support with any questions at 1-800-535-5585 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.

to 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time. For after hours emergencies call 1-800-535-5585 and

follow the instructions on the recorded message. Our on-call technician will return your call

as soon as possible.

NOTE: This entire Operation Manual should be read before operating or servicing the

device. This Operation Manual should then be kept near the device and used as a reference

and troubleshooting guide.

WARNING: The selection of water treatment equipment for dialysis and the

maintenance of the equipment following its installation is the responsibility of the

dialysis physician. The product water should be tested periodically to verify that

all equipment is operating within specifications.

WARNING:DO NOT operate the water purification system without properly

functioning carbon filtration! Suspend dialysis treatments immediately if chlorine

or chloramines level after the polisher tank exceeds 0.1 mg/L!

WARNING:Water softeners are intended to be used as pretreatment for reverse

osmosis or deionization; and are not meant to be used as the primary means of

water purification for dialysis.

NOTE: Softener tanks must be loaded onsite during the installation process.

WARNING: No person should attempt to operate or service the system without

prior authorization, instruction, and training from AmeriWater and/or your

medical facility director!

2MEDICAL SERIES SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

2.1 Water Softener

FEATURES:

A full flow 1¼” valve.

The control valve utilizes the time proven piston-seal-spacer technology for

durable, maintenance free service.

All plastic construction will not corrode.

Programmable electronic controller is flexible for all conditions.

All times can be set to the minute.

Single tank design regenerates at off hours to prevent pressure loss caused by

dual metered systems regenerating during dialysis treatment.

Included with the water softener is the reverse osmosis lock-out switch.

Choose either a 1” or 1¼” bypass header that includes three true union ball

valves, stainless steel liquid filled outlet pressure gauge and sample port. The

header comes pre-assembled and can be installed using PVC schedule 80 piping.

The header can be oriented from left to right flow or right to left flow.

3WATER SOFTENER OPERATION SUMMARY

3.1 Description

The Water Softener removes calcium and magnesium (hardness) from the water to prevent

these contaminants from being deposited onto the surface of the RO membranes, which

may irreversibly damage the membranes.

3.2 How it Works

Water Softeners remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water through an ion

exchange process. The water passes over resin beads charged with sodium ions. The resin

beads attract the calcium and magnesium ions in the water and exchange them with sodium

ions. The supply of sodium ions is progressively depleted until reaching a state of

exhaustion. Regeneration of the softener replenishes the supply of sodium ions and

eliminates the previously removed calcium and magnesium ions.

NOTE: Install Water Softeners before any Dealkalizer or an Organic Scavenger.

3.4 Monitoring

1. Verify at the beginning of each day that the control head timer is set to the

correct time of day and record that this verification was done. This prevents

inadvertent regeneration during clinical operation, which would cause the RO

to shut down via the interlock mechanism.

2. Test and record the hardness level of the water at the softener outlet to

ensure that the hardness level is less than or equal to one grain per gallon

(GPG). This testing must be done at least once per day at the end of the

treatment day. Recording of the hardness level must be done after 15

minutes of operation.

3. Monitor the brine tank daily to ensure that the salt level fills at least half of

the tank. Salt added to the brine tank must be clean pellet type, cube, or

solar salt only. Do not use rock salt.

4. Monitor and record the pressure drop across the softener daily. Notify the

medical director if the delta pressure is > 10 PSI above established. High

delta pressure may cause improper operation of some of the downstream

water purification components.

5. Periodically check pre-treatment lockout.

6. Monitor brine tank maintenance.

NOTE: Hard water results at the softener outlet may indicate a lack of salt in the brine tank,

degeneration in the chemical properties of the resin, or an open bypass valve. Notify the

Supervisor in charge, if hard water results are obtained at the softener outlet.
