TWT®YOUR SIMPLE AND SAFE
SOLUTION
You have now purchased a technologically advanced
water treatment system that with proper mainte-
nance, will insure cleaner water for decades to
come. Providing end-to-end treatment and condi-
tioning with consistent results.
1. TWT-POUS-300 Application
The TWT Integrated system should be installed at
point-of-use, on or near the beverage dispensing
machines requiring treatment (for water-fed lines 3/4" in
diameter or less) . Select a location near water feed
line in an area allowing enough room on all sides of
system for filter(s) replacement, visual inspection,
keeping it out of harm’s way (i.e., appropriate service
clearances).depending upon model purchased.This
will allow most maintenance procedures to be accom-
plished without removing the unit and filters from its
mounting bracket.
2. TWT-POUE-400 Application
The TWT Integrated system should be installed at P.O.U./P.O.E., near water-fed
line (for water-fed lines 3/4" in diameter or less). Select a location near water
feed line in an area allowing enough room on all sides of system for filter(s)
replacement, visual inspection, keeping it out of harm’s way (i.e., appropriate ser-
vice clearances). This will allow most maintenance procedures to be accom-
plished without removing the unit and filters from its mounting bracket.
FILTRATION-
Traps & Removes Harmful Pollutants, prevents restriction and keeps
water in the plumbing system flowing
Filters are designed to trap various kinds of debris, dirt and organic particles
that will otherwise enter your equipment and/or plumbing system, restrict your
water flow and create a breeding ground for bacteria. The first step in achieving
clean water is to install a filtration device that effectively removes particulate
matter and similar debris.
Filters used in TWT-POUS-300 system
1. Sediment 5-10 Micron: Pleated
Washable and reusable for sediment
reduction/removal
2. Resin Filter: Water softening resin filter
3. GAC: Granulated activated carbon for
taste, odor, organic chemicals and chlo-
rine reduction/removal.
Filters used in TWT-POUE-400 system
1. Sediment 5-10 Micron: Pleated Washable and reusable for sediment

2. GAC: Granulated activated carbon for taste, odor, organic chemicals and
chlorine reduction / removal
3. GAC/KDF-55:
Granulated activated carbon with KDF-55, specially formulated
copper/zinc alloy media designed to remove chlorine, lead, volatile organic
chemicals,hydrogen sulfide, sulfur, herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizer
residues and trihalomethanes
Note: See maintenance calender
DEPOSIT CONTROL-
TWT®Patented Deposit Control Technology
The basic component in the TWT systems is
the deposit controller.It is comprised of a
microprocessor, solenoid coil factory wrapped
reaction chamber. The microprocessor is a
patented controller that functions like a comput-
er to relay a continuous electrical power sup-
ply to the solenoid coil reaction chamber. The
reaction chamber is part of the system, and
provides a factory wrapped wire coil forming a
solenoid. The solenoid conveys the triangular
wave signal at the appropriate power level
(as allowed by the model chosen) to the water
passing through the chamber. This signal con-
stantly changes the polarity, frequency, and
amplitude of the current entering the water.
This triangular wave treatment produces sever-
al benefits.It increases the capability of the water to hydrate scale
ions and other colloidal particles. In effect, the surface charge of
the hydrogen molecules is enhanced and the water is made “wetter”.
This“hydrated” water can dissolve unwanted
particles, suspend them in solution, and allow
them to be easily filtered out or flushed from the
system.Accordingly, the mineral and biological
particles that cause scale, deposits, and corro-
sion are dissolved and washed away.
This means that the breeding environments for
bacteria, such as bio-film and corrosion, are
eliminated.The agitation created in the reaction chamber also disrupts
the conditions essential for the normal reproduction of bacteria and they
die, thus allowing them to be harmlessly flushed out of the system.
FLOW METER-
Battery operated digital flow meter with ability
to reset so users may track total flow in gal-
lons. Offers ability to monitor multiple functions,
with capacity settings 100 to 19,900 gallons.
Audible alarm indicates cartridge/ media
replacement.
When the TWT systems are properly installed and
maintained, the effects of the Triangular Wave
Technology Treatment Last Downstream. In effect, a clean, corrosion-free
delivery systems restored and maintained in a safe manner. The result is
clean tanks, pipes and tubing with no bio-film and reduced bacterial
contamination.
TWT systems make sense from operational, economic, and safety points of
view. Ownership of the TWT System will afford you and/or your customers
significant savings over a short period of time and even greater savings over
the life cycle of the equipment.
All though simular in design, the TWT-POUS-300 (above) uses a
Sediment, Resin and Carbon filter. The TWT-POUE-400 uses a
Sediment, Carbon and GAC-KDF-55 Filter (1-2 GPM System)

THINGS TO DO PERIODICALLY Not less than weekly
1. TWT-POUS-300 Unplug AC power cord(s) before any repairs and/or replace
ments are performed
• Visually inspect deposit controller to ensure continuous operation
• Deposit control system LED lights should be on
• Make sure the filters are free flowing, if they become clogged you must clean or
replace them
•Replace sediment and/or carbon filters when needed, generally 2 to 3 times a year,
depending on water use, quality, and conditions.*
• Replace resin filter and reset meter every 150 to 200 gallons of processed fluid (up
to 20 grains), above 20 grains hardness to be determined* (will vary based on
equipment operating conditions, water quality in different areas of country.
Manufactures suggest equipment owners replace resin filters more frequently until
they have established appropriate usage and time tables). See flow meter next page
• Water Source (municipal/well), condition and GPM determines need (hard water
areas of the country may require more frequent filter replacements).
• Use filter wrench (shipped with system) when replacing filters
2. TWT-POUE-400 Unplug AC power cord(s) before any repairs and/or
replacements are performed:
• Visually inspect deposit controller to ensure continuous operation
• Deposit control system LED lights should be on
• Make sure the filters are free flowing, if they become clogged you must clean or
replace them
•Replace filters when needed, generally 2 to 3 times a year, depending on water
use, quality, and conditions.*
Meter Setting Guidelines POUE-400 (Non-Resin Filter Use):
• Set meter to max 19,900 gallons of processed water, based on a family of 4 or
less, you should be able to reset meter to 19,900 again before filter replacement is
needed. It is estimated the average person uses between 60 to 100 gallons of
water per day (will vary based on equipment operating conditions, water quality in
different areas of country. Manufactures suggest equipment owners replace filters
more frequently until they have established appropriate usage and time tables).
• Water Source (municipal/well), condition and GPM determines need (hard water

TWT DEPOSIT CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Performance Check . . .
1. After placing the transformer into the 110V wall outlet, check the following:
• Power On light will be on.
• Coil Energized lights will be on.
2.If the pipe solenoid is incorrectly connected, disconnected, or this circuit becomes
open, the Triangular Wave Control Unit will indicate failure as follows:
• Power On light will be on.
• Coil Energized lights will be off.
3. To test the connection, unscrew one of the pipe solenoid connections (wire led) and
remove the wire. Observe that the fault is correctly indicated. Replace the wire and
tighten the connection. The Triangular Wave System should indicate normal operation.
Your new Triangular Wave Deposit Control System is now in service.
Performance Guide . . .
The Triangular Wave Deposit Control System treats all incoming water as it passes the coil
and alters the characteristics of the calcium so that it does not stick and form hard scale.
It is important to remember that the calcium is still in the water and will be visible in
appliances that are not subject to free flowing water.
Your Electronic Deposit Control System Will:
1. Prevent further hard scale build-up.
2. Remove the existing scale that is inside your water system.
3.Soften the existing hard scale in plumbing lines, around taps, basins, and toilets, etc.
4. Make the water feel silkier.
5. Reduce the harsh effects of hard water on equipment, skin and clothes.
How will you know the system is working?
The amount of time required before you experience the effects of the system varies from
facility to facility, depending on the amount of water used. Generally, signs of aggres-
sive descaling are seen within 1 to 2 weeks. Note: The system may initially seem to
become “less effective” at times. This is due to the removal of the existing scale which
is brought back into solution, which will briefly create the effect of increased hardness.
Once the scale has been removed from the system being treated, the full effectiveness of
the deposit control system will return.
FLOW METER
Operation:
DISPLAY button: When the meter is off, press the DISPLAY button to display the
total accumulated gallons for the system. Press DISPLAY again, the meter will display
the remaining gallons of each cartridge. (flash “1” twice, then the
remaining gallons of the first cartridge will display. Next it will flash
"2" twice and display the remaining gallons for the second car-
tridge...up to the third cartridge).
Alarm:
When the capacity remaining reaches 0 for any cartridge, the meter
will alarm to notify user to change the cartridge. (alarm only func-
tions when there is water flowing through the meter or if the DIS-
PLAY button is pressed). Press RESET to release the alarm and
reset the cartridge setting after replacing the cartridge.
Low Battery Power Alarm:
When the battery power is lower than the normal working level, the
audible alarm will beep twice to notify you that it is time to change
the battery. The data will be kept in memory when the battery power
has run out or if the batteries are removed during replacement.
Reset:
Depress RESET for 6 seconds to reset accumulated gallons to 0 and the capacity of
each cartridge to it’s last programmed capacity setting.
Installing Batteries (3V DC):
Slide of the cover of the battery compartment and install 2 AAA
batteries. Follow the instructions on the terminal for the correct
installation of the positive and negative side of the battery.
Replace the battery compartment cover.
Setting Capacity for each Cartridge:
Press and hold the DISPLAY button, then with a small pointed object press the
RESET button and release both of the buttons simultaneously. The meter will go into
programming mode. The right digit will flash
“1” twice and the current capacity setting for
cartridge one. You can set capacity for the first
cartridge now.
Setting Capacity:
Press DISPLAY button to choose the capacity. The sequence is 0–100–200– 300–
19800–OFF. Choose the number gallons that relates to the capacity or change frequency
you desire for your cartridge. Then press the
RESET button to save the setting. Next, the
second right digit will flash “2” twice and the
current capacity setting for cartridge number 2.
Following the above procedure for programming
up to 3 separate cartridges.
Battery Conservation:
To conserve battery power, the meter will be automatically off when there is no water
flowing through the sensor for 10 seconds. Meter will automatically turn on when there is
any water flowing through the sensor.

CAUTION
• Unplug / shut off, drain system and discard filters if unit is out of service
or not in use for extended period of time, or in freezing temperature
• Recommended for inside/indoor use
• If used outside/outdoors, the TWT system must be installed (enclosed) in a weather proof housing
• Do not operate TWT system without water in plumbing system
• Disconnect power before servicing
• Change filters according to manufacturers guidelines
• Valves should be in open position when in operation
• Manual Drain Port should be closed when in operation
• Filter housings should be cleaned regularly depending on water use and quality
• Cleaning procedure: filter housings should be cleaned each and every time filters are replaced
• Use clean food grade silicone grease when checking and/or reassembling O-Rings
• Shut down system, (on-off switch on control panel) close manual shut-off valves, and drain
water from filter housings when system is not in operation.
Note:
If operating under high pressure conditions, a pressure reduction system is recommended to be installed.
Contact plumber before TWT system installation.
OPTIONAL
• If fluid conditions require smaller micronic particle trapping for enhanced results,
filters for the housings are available in various micronic sizes (providing flexibility &
adaptability to meet the needs of all fluid conditions & applications).
• TWT integrated treatment systems can be upgraded (upon request) to accommodate another filter hpusing or
larger filter housings and filters for greater capacity (filter replacement life cycle) if necessary.
Resin Replacement General Guidelines:
The maximum volume of water that can be treated, depends on the hardness
number. Dividing Filter capacity by hardness number will give you the
approximate water in gallons achieved before need to replace or refill.
( Filter capacity ÷ hardness # =X gallons treated )
When TWT-POUS-300 system is used for municipal water (chlorinated) then the position
of the filter cartridges should be changed to extend the life of the resin filter. For chlorinated water,
the GAC (carbon filter) should go ahead of the resin filter ( sediment • carbon • resin ). This will destruct
much of the chlorine and therefore extend the life of the resin filter and it's softening capacity.
Chlorine may damage the resin filter and reduce its capacity and effectiveness.
• TWT POUS-300 integrated treatment systems filter media and cartridge(s) use
in system as illustrated. Refillable resin filter cartridge available upon request.
Refill resin supplied in 1 cubic ft. bags, maintenance and replacement procedures included.
• Hardness test kit
