Description of the backwashing filter
The PMR1 system includes a filtration tank (with gravel and distributor), HMX10 heavy metals reduction filter media and a
backwashing control valve with bypass.
Successful Application
Any filter media may have specific limitations and/or requirements for successful application. A water sample should be
submitted to Franklin Electric Co., Inc. Water Treatment Division for analysis and recommendation by Technical Services.
FBW-HMX & FEBW-HMX IMPORTANT: Contact Franklin Water Treatment, LLC technical services to
assist with proper sizing based on the level of heavy metals in the water and the flow rate requirement.
The heavy metals test resultsmust befrom a certified laboratory to ensure accuracy. Other waterquality
information is required as well, and will determine if pre-treatment equipment is required to meet the
influent water quality pre-requisites for the FBW-HMX and FEBW-HMX systems: Iron < 0.1 ppm,
Manganese < 0.01 ppm, pH < 8.0, Silica < 30 ppm, Hardness > 5 gpg is preferred but not required unless
silica is present.
Oncethesystemhasbeen installed, aheavymetals testshould bedonetodetermineifthelevel(s)is(are)
being reduced sufficiently (IE 10 ppb or less arsenic, 15 ppb or less lead, etc., per the EPA MCL) and
should be tested regularly (every 6 months recommended) to ensure the system is functioning properly
and to indicate when the media has become exhausted.
Time of Backwash
Periodically the control valve will go through a backwash cycle. This cycle is factory preset to 12:00 A.M. flushing the
accumulated sediment and/or precipitant to the drain. After the backwashing process the unit is now prepared for the next
period of service.
Water Supply
This filter will function properly when the water supply is furnished by a jet pump, submersible pump,variable speed (constant
pressure)pumporcommunitywatersupply. Aswithallotherfiltersystems,however,itisimperativethatthewellpumpprovides
enough flow rate for the filter toadequately backwash. In order to ensure sufficient backwash flow rate the following pumping
rate test should be performed prior to installing the backwashing filter.
1. Makecertain no wateris beingdrawn in the house.
2. Open spigot nearest pressure tank.
3. When well pump starts, close spigot and measure time (in seconds) to refill pressure tank (well pump turns back
off). This is Cycle Time.
4. Using a container of known volume,draw water from pressure tank and measure how many gallons until the pump
turns back on again. This is Draw Down.
5. Calculate pumping rate by dividing draw down by cycle time and multiplying by 60.

Location Considerations
The proper location to install the backwashing filter will ensure optimum filter performance and satisfactory water
quality. The following factors should be considered in selecting the location of this system.
1. The backwashing filter must be installed after the pressure tank (private well system only).
2. The system should be installed as close as possible (preferably within 15’) to an adequate floor or
laundry drain capable of handling the backwash cycle volume and flow rate (refer to unit
specifications). An air gap should be provided between the backwashing filter drain line and
plumbing drain.
3. All water conditioning equipment should be installed at least 10’ prior to the water heater. Water
temperatures exceeding 100°F can damage the internal components of the control valve and filter
tank. An expansion tank may need to be installed in the line to the water heater in order to allow for
thermal expansion and comply with local plumbing codes.
4. Water pressure must not exceed the range of 25 - 100 psi.
5. The system must not be subject to freezing temperatures.
6. The control valve requires 115/120 V, 60 Hz electricity from an outlet that is not wired to a switch.
7. Never install a cartridge type filter prior to the backwashing filter. Any cartridge or in-line filter (if
desired) may be installed after the backwashing filter. This will prevent restricting the water flow and
pressure available for backwash.
8. Appliances requiring extended periods of continuous or high flow water use (i.e. geothermal heat
pumps, swimming pools, lawn irrigation, outside hose bibs, etc.) should bypass the filter.

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The water conditioner is not designed to support the weight of plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be
used on black “O” Rings. This will allow ease of installation and decrease chance of rolling from the bypass and
tank connections. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teflon®tape must be used on the threads of the drain line
connection. Teflon®tape is not used on any connection where “O” Ring seals are used
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic Service
Wrench, (CV3193, not included). If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe
wrench to tighten nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
NOTE: If the plumbing system is used as the ground leg of the electric supply, continuity should be maintained
by installing ground straps around any non-conductive plastic piping or bypass used in the installation.
Make sure the filter is not installed backwards. The filter will not function properly if installed backwards and filter
media may be forced into the water lines. Arrows molded into the valve body and red handles of the bypass
indicate the direction of flow.
General Installation

5
The bypass valve is used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system's water pressure in order to
perform controlvalve repairs or maintenance.The1" full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including
a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated
bypass water to the building. Be sure to install bypass valve onto main control valve, before beginning plumbing
or make provisions in the plumbing system for a bypass. The bypass body and rotors are glass filled Noryl®
and the nuts and caps are glass filled polypropylene. All seals are self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve
seizing after long periods of non-use. Internal "O" Rings can easily be replaced if service is required. The
bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow shaped
handles. The handles identify the direction of flow. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four
positions.
1. Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow
indicated by the engraved arrows on the control valve. Water flows through the control
valve for normal operation of a water softener or filter. During the regeneration cycle this
position provides regeneration water to the unit, while also providing untreated water to
the distribution system (Fig. 2).
2. Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass. The
system is isolated from the water pressure in the plumbing system. Untreated water is
supplied to the building (Fig. 3).
3. Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points toward the control valve and the outlet
handle points to the center of bypass valve. Untreated supply water is allowed to flow to
the system and to the building, while not allowing water to exit from the system to the
building (Fig. 4) .This allows the service technician to draw brine and perform other tests
without the test water going to the building.
NOTE: The system must be run through a rinse cycle before returning the bypass valve
to the normal position.
4. Shut Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center of the bypass valve and the outlet
handle points away from the control valve. The water is shut off to the building. The water
treatment system will depressurize upon opening a tap in the building. A negative pressure
in the building combined with the unit being in regeneration could cause a siphoning
of brine into the building. If water is available on the outlet side of the unit it is an
indication of water bypassing the system (Fig. 5)

STEP 1: Unpack filter unit, making sure to remove entire contents of the shipping container prior to disposal.
STEP 2: Withthefilterunitintheuprightposition,removethecontrolvalvefromthemineraltankbeingcareful
to not pull the distributor out of the gravel at the bottom of the tank.
STEP 3: Cover the top of the distributor tube with the included red cap and, using the included blue media
funnel, pour the HMX10 filter media into the mineral tank. 12” – 14” of space MUST be left empty
at the top of the mineral tank to allow for media bed expansion during backwash and to prevent filter
media from being discharged through the drain line.
STEP 4: Use a garden hose or bucket to fill the media tank with water.
STEP 5: Clean mineral tank threads to remove any filter media. Remove red cap from distributor tube and
reinstall control valve by threading it securely ontothe mineral tank. (O-ring seal: HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY!)
STEP 6: Shutoffallwateratmainsupply. Onprivatewellsystem,turnoffpowertopumpanddrainpressure
tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from complete system by opening nearest faucet to drain
system. SHUT OFF FUEL / ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER.
STEP 7: Plumb the water supply line to the unit's bypass valve inlet, located at the right rear as you face the
unit. There are a variety of installation fittings available. They are listed under Installation Fitting
Assemblies, pages 21-23.Whenassemblingthe installation fittingpackage (inletandoutlet), connect
the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring, and "O" Ring. Heat from
soldering orsolventcements may damagethe nut, splitring,or "O" Ring. Solderjoints should be cool
and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring, and "O" Ring. Avoid getting
solder flux, primer, and solvent cement on any part of the "O" Rings, split rings, bypass valve, or
controlvalve.Ifthebuilding'selectricalsystemisgroundedtotheplumbing,installacoppergrounding
strap from the inlet to the outlet pipe. Plumbing must be done in accordance with all applicable local
codes. MAKE CERTAIN WATER ENTERS THROUGH INLET AND DISCHARGES THROUGH
OUTLET.
STEP 8: Apply thread tape to DLFC Assembly. Remove drain line flow control (DLFC) retainer clip (Figure
6, Page 7) and remove the DLFC assembly from the valve body, (Figure 6, Page 7). Apply thread
tapetothreads.Slidedrainfittingcompressionnutontoprovideddraintubingandplacethetubeinsert

nut onto the thread taped elbow. Reinsert DLFC assembly into the valve body, making certain it is
FULLY inserted before replacing the retaining clip.
STEP 9: Install drain line. Use the provided ½” I.D. polyethylene tubing (DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE VINYL
TUBING!) to run drain line from controlvalve DLFC fitting (Figure 6, Page 7) to floor drain or sump pit
capable of handling the backwash rate of the filter (refer to specifications and flow rate on page 16)
or discard the compression fitting and use 3/4" NPT fitting to connect a rigid pipe drain line
(recommended). If backwash flow rate is greater than 7.5 gpm, use ¾” FNPT connector with rigid
drain line. There must be an air gap at the end of the drain line to prevent siphoning of wastewater.
Length of drain line should be 15’ or less. AVOID OVERHEAD DRAINS.

USER DISPLAYS
When the system is operating, one of several displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the
displays. One of the displays is the current time of day. The second display shows days to a regen/gallons
remaining. Days To A Regen is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration
cycle. The thirddisplay is current flow in gal/min. The user can scroll between the displays as desired by pushing
NEXT or display will scroll automatically. When water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through the system)
the word "GPM" flashes on left side of display when other than flow rate is displayed. User screens will
continuously scroll, switching views every 3seconds. If the screens aremanually scrolled, this screen will remain
constantfor 5minutesthen continueto scroll.The conditionalscreenswilltakeprecedenceoverthescrollingand
the conditional conditions will apply.To manually reducecapacity,press down button while capacity remaining or
days to a regen is displayed.
MANUAL REGENERATION
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to
as manualregeneration.There may beaperiod of heavy water usage because ofguests or a heavy laundryday.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, press and release “REGEN”. The words
“REGEN TODAY” will flash in left corner of display as it scrolls through displays to indicate that the system will
regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the
button again will cancel the request. To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN”
button for five seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled. You
must cycle all the way through the cycles to make it stop. PLEASE NOTE: This will reset the meter. Note: If the
salt tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating. If two regenerations
aredesiredwithin 24 hourperiod, press /releaseREGEN button. REGEN TODAY will flashon screen. Press and
hold REGEN button until valve initiates an immediate regeneration.
General Operation

11
1) Regularly (at least every 6 months) verify that any pre-treatment equipment is functioning properly.
2) Regularly (at least every 6 months) have the treated water tested to verify if the PMR1 is reducing the
heavy metals to an acceptable level (at or below the EPA MCL for that specific heavy metal) and to
know when the HMX10 media is nearing exhaustion. Plan to replace the HMX10 filter media before
the contaminant level rises above the EPA MCL.
TO REBED FILTER MEDIA:
1) Pressure must be relieved on the system by placing the Bypass Valve in the “Bypass” position (Figure
3, Page 5) and initiating a manual regeneration (section 3, page 10).
2) Unplug the Control Valve from the electrical outlet to prevent it from advancing automatically.
3) Disconnect the Control Valve from the Bypass Valve
4) Disconnect the Drain Line from the Control Valve
5) Unscrew Control Valve from Mineral Tank and remove the distributor tube.
6) Siphon water from Mineral Tank and dump out the filter media and gravel. NOTE: Heavy metals
bond to the HMX10 media at a molecular level and will not leach from discarded filter media,
and therefore does not require disposal as a hazardous waste material.
7) Rinse Mineral Tank and replace distributor, making certain that the distributor basket sits in the center
of the tank bottom.
8) Cover the top of the distributor tube to prevent media entering the tube during filling. Using a funnel,
pour filter media(s) into the mineral tank. Begin loading the tank with the gravel underbed. Filling the
Mineral Tank 1/3 with water before loading gravel willcushion the fall and ensure even distribution of
the gravel and media. 12” – 14” of space MUST be left empty at the top of the mineral tank to allow for
media bed expansion during backwash and to prevent filter media from being discharged through the
drain line.
9) Use a garden hose or bucket to fill the media tank with water.
10) Cleanmineraltankthreadstoremoveanyfiltermedia. Uncoverdistributortubeandreinstallcontrolvalve
by threading it securely onto the mineral tank. (O-ring seal; HAND TIGHTEN ONLY!)
11) Attach bypass valve to control valve body.
12) Reattach Drain Line to Control Valve (Figure 6, Page 6).
13) Gradually turn the INLET side knob of the bypass valve counter-clockwise not more than ½ way (45
degrees) to the “Service” position (Figure 2, Page 5) allowing unit to pressurize slowly. Check for leaks
and correct as needed. Any air trapped in the media bed should begin purging to the drain and water
should begin flowing to the drain.
Maintenance

12
14) Once the air is purged, gradually turn the INLET knob of the bypass valve counter-clockwise until it is
fully in “Service” position (Figure 2, Page 5). Then turn the OUTLET knob of the bypass valve counter-
clockwise until it is fully in the “Service” position (Figure 2, Page 5). and leave the control valve in
“Backwash” position for at least 10 minutes or until water flowing from the drain line runs clear;
whichever is longer.
15) Plug the transformer intothe electrical outlet. Press the “REGEN” button to advance the control valve to
the “RINSE” cycle. Another count-down timer will appear in the time-of-day position, “RINSE” will be
shown in the lower middle of the display and “REGEN” appears in the middle left of the display. Allow
the rinse cycle to complete and the filter will return to service mode automatically.
