Everpure SR-X Operating instructions

INTRODUCTION
The Everpure SR-X Scale Reduction Feeders are designed to efficiently dispense scale
inhibiting products into foodservice water filtration systems. There are two versions. One
(SR-X) is intended for cold water applications such as ice machines and replaces the previous
Everpure IMF Feeder. The other (SR-X w/Deliming Kit) is intended for hot water applications
such as steamers and replaces the previous Everpure AR-X Feeder.
THE SR-X FEEDER (EV9798-45) INCLUDES:
• A clear bowl plastic housing
• An opaque head with integral mounting bracket
• An Everpure SS-IMF ScaleStick cartridge containing HydroBlend, a unique, specially
blended compound that inhibits mineral scale deposits and provides corrosion protection for
water-fed equipment.
• Two SS-IMF Spacers (adapts SS-IMF to 10” bowl)
• A sump wrench
THE SR-X FEEDER W/DELIMING KIT (EV9797-20) INCLUDES:
• The same housing and head included in the SR-X Feeder.
• An Everpure SS-10 ScaleStick cartridge containing the HydroBlend compound.
• A check valve with pipe nipple (packed loose) to prevent backflow in hot water applications.
• One 2.2 lb. packet of Everpure ScaleKleen scale remover
• A dip-tube to convert the SR-X Feeder for use in introducing the ScaleKleen product.
• A sump wrench
NOTE: The SR-X and SR-X w/Deliming Kit Feeders are supplied with different versions of
ScaleStick cartridges. The SR-X Feeder includes the SS-IMF ScaleStick EV9799-32
which is shorter (approx. 7” in height) and contains less of the HydroBlend material than
the SS-10 ScaleStick EV9799-02 (approx. 10” in height) included with the SR-X Feeder
w/Deliming Kit. The SS-IMF cartridge requires two 2-1/4” spacer (included with EV9798-
45) which adapts it for use in the new, longer SR-X bowls.
SR-X SCALE REDUCTION FEEDER INSTALLATION
SR-X Feeders are provided in three forms:
1. As stand-alone feeders where their functions may be added to existing water consuming
foodservice equipment installations.
2. As integral elements of standard Everpure water filter systems.
3. As add-on elements to standard Everpure water filter systems. The SR-X Feeders
incorporate provisions for retrofitting onto new style Everpure multi-cartridge/multi-
function filter systems to provide scale control as needed. Adaptation is accomplished
by adding an optional post-feeder bracket to an existing system. Detailed installation
instructions come with the post-feeder brackets.
Before starting the installation, be sure to shut off both power and water to the equipment
being served. For servicing convenience, a manual shut-off valve should be installed in the
water line ahead of the feeder.
IMPORTANT: Always use a NSF approved pipe dope or Teflon tape at all thread connections.
CONNECT TO INLET/FEED WATER MAKE-UP LINES ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT TO
ICE MACHINE CONDENSER OR STEAMER CONDENSATE COOLING LINES
1. Select a suitable location for mounting the SR-X Feeder and install mounting screws 21⁄4”
apart. If installing the EV9797-20 SR-X Feeder w/Deliming Kit, assemble the 3/4” check
valve and pipe nipple (provided loose) onto the outlet of the feeder head.
2. Un-thread the head assembly from the bowl.
3. Locate the ScaleStick cartridge in the carton and remove its shrink-wrapping.

4. IMPORTANT! If installing an SR-X Feeder using the SS-IMF ScaleStick cartridge (approx.
7” length), locate the two SS-IMF Spacers in the bowl. This is a short length (approx. 21⁄4”)
of ScaleStick cartridge bottom used to extend the length of the SS-IMF cartridge so that
it fits securely into the 10” SR-X bowl. Insert the spacer into the bottom of the SS-IMF
cartridge and proceed to the next step.
5. Insert the ScaleStick (black O-band seal at the top) onto the outlet stub on the bottom of the
feeder head .
6. Check to be sure the o-ring on the bowl is clean and sufficiently lubricated and apply a high
quality food grade silicone lubricant if more is needed.
7. Thread the bowl onto the feeder head with ScaleStick by hand while aligning the
ScaleStick with the guide seat in the bottom of the bowl. Snug the bowl with the sump
wrench (EV3112-41).
8. Connect the inlet water line to the inlet fitting connection on the SR-X Feeder head.
Connect the SR-X outlet to the piping/tubing leading to the equipment being treated.
9. Continue with installation of the rest of the filter system, if the SR-X Feeder is being added
on.
10. Turn on water to the SR-X Feeder and momentarily depress the red button on the head to
purge air from the unit.
CARTRIDGE CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. The SR-X Feeder bowls and ScaleStick cartridges are transparent, permitting continuous
monitoring of product level. When the product level in the ScaleStick cartridge drops to
within 1/2” from the bottom, the cartridge should be replaced.
2. Turn off inlet water to the feeder and momentarily depress the red button on the head to
relieve pressure.
3. Un-thread the bowl from the head, empty water from the bowl and remove the used
cartridge.
4. IMPORTANT! If changing cartridges in an SR-X Feeder using the SS-IMF ScaleStick
cartridge (approx. 7” length), remove the SS-IMF Spacer from the bottom of the used
cartridge and set it aside. Do not discard the spacer. Proceed to the next step.
5. Clean the bowl with a mild solution of unscented dishwashing detergent. DO NOT use
soap, strong or scented detergents, chemical solvents or abrasives.
6. Remove the shrink-wrapping from the new ScaleStick cartridge.
7. IMPORTANT! If replacing an SS-IMF ScaleStick cartridge into an SR-X Feeder, reuse the
SS-IMF Spacer set aside from Step 4. Insert the spacer into the bottom of the new SS-IMF
cartridge and proceed to the next step.
Note: If the SS-IMF Spacer is missing or misplaced, a replacement spacer may be ordered.
Alternatively, you may cut the bottom 2-1/4” from the used ScaleStick and use that portion
as the spacer.
8. Insert the cartridge (black O-band seal at the top) onto the outlet stub on the bottom of the
feeder head.
9. Check to be sure the O-ring on the bowl is clean and sufficiently lubricated and apply a
high quality food grade silicone lubricant if more is needed.
10. Thread the bowl onto the feeder head with ScaleStick by hand while aligning the
ScaleStick with the guide seat in the bottom of the bowl. Snug the bowl with the sump
wrench (EV3112-41).
11. Turn on water to the SR-X Feeder and momentarily depress the red button on the head to
purge air from the unit.

STEAMER DE-LIMING
• These instructions apply to the Everpure SR-X Feeder as well as to
the previous AR-X Feeder.
• Use only Everpure ScaleKleen™ scale remover product. Other harsh
acids may damage bowl material and clog system orifices.
• Use a one kilogram (2.2 lb) package to de-lime most countertop
steamers.
• Use four kilogram (2.2 lb) packages to de-lime most boiler-based
steamers.
1. Turn off the power switch on the steamer.
2. Blow down the steamer. Blow-down is done automatically on
some steamers when power is turned off. Manually blow down the
steamer if this is not done automatically.
3. Turn off inlet water to the SR-X system.
4. Depress the red button on the head to relieve system pressure.
5. Unscrew the clear bowl and remove the used cartridge. Dispose of
the exhausted cartridge in normal trash and empty any remaining
water from the bowl.
6. Locate the SR-X dip tube and insert the tube, O-ring first, into the
center port of the head as far as it will go.
7. Open a one kilogram (2.2lb) package of ScaleKleen and empty it
into the bowl. Wipe off any excess ScaleKleen material which may
be on the bowl threads or O-ring.
8. Thread the bowl back into the SR-X head - hand tight only! NOTE:
The dip tube end may become packed with ScaleKleen. This is
normal and will not affect the de-liming procedure.
9. Turn on the inlet water to the SR-X system.
10. Turn on the power to the steamer. NOTE: This action will quickly
introduce the ScaleKleen material directly into the boiler chamber.
If you are de-liming a countertop steamer, proceed to step 11.
If you are de-liming a boiler-base unit, monitor the ScaleKleen
level in bowl. When the level drops to 1”, quickly turn off the inlet
water. Now relieve pressure and unscrew the bowl from the head.
Add another kilogram of ScaleKleen to the bowl and reintroduce
the material into the boiler. Repeat this procedure until four (4)
kilograms of ScaleKleen have been introduced into the boiler
chamber. Proceed to step 11.
11. With ScaleKleen material introduced into the boiler chamber and
the inlet water turned on, allow the steamer (countertop or boiler-
base) to come up to operating temperature and pressure, and hold
for one hour.
12. Thirty minutes into the de-liming procedure, turn on steam
to cooking chamber(s) for one minute. This will de-lime the
distribution lines, small orifices, and steam solenoid valves.
13. After one hour of de-liming the steamer at operating temperature
and pressure, turn the steamer power switch off.
14. Manually blow down the steamer if it is not done automatically
when the power is turned off.
15. Fill the boiler with fresh, clean water and repeat blow down a
second time to void the boiler chamber of any un-dis-solved loose
scale. Thoroughly rinse the cooking compartment(s) with cold
water and wipe dry with a clean, soft towel.
16. After the second blow-down, turn the steamer power switch off,
and turn off the water to the SR-X Feeder.
17. Relieve system pressure by depressing the red button on the SR-X
head until all air is purged and water begins to escape.
18. Unscrew the bowl and remove the dip tube from the head. BE
SURE TO PLACE THE DIP TUBE IN A CONVENIENT LOCATION.
19. Install a new SS-10 cartridge into the head and thread the bowl
back onto the head. Snug the bowl with the sump wrench (EV3112-
41).
20. Turn on the inlet water. Relieve any trapped air in the bow by
depressing the red button on the SR-X head until all air is purged
and water starts escaping.
21. Turn the steamer power switch on. The steamer is now ready to
be placed back into service.
22. Be sure to order additional SS-10 replacement cartridges,
ScaleKleen and carbon filter cartridges to maintain future worry-
free operation of your steamer.
