Herrmidifier Co 6000 - Manual (Page 12)

Maintenance
To maintain output, the water level in the cylinder will
slowly move upwards, exposing new electrode to the
water as the electrodes become coated with minerals.
Eventually, all of the usable electrode surfaces will be
coated and the cylinder will be full of water. At this point,
the output will begin to fall and the red “service" light will
come on. The unit will shutdown. This indicates the need
to change the cylinder-typically 500-2000 hours of
operation, depending on the quality of the fill water
supply.
To remove the cylinder
1. Drain cylinder completely using the 'on-off- drain"
switch.
2. Turn off power to the unit at the external disconnect.
Disconnect electrode power wires (#38 & #39) and
cylinder full electrode wire (#29) from the tank.
These connections are 1/4' quick connects.
3. Disconnect 1” tube at top of tank.
4. Remove tank, clean out drain cup and insert with
new tank. Be sure that "o" ring is in place on the
cylinder fill/drain neck prior to installation (See
Figure 11a). New “o" ring is included with each
replacement cylinder.
5. Clean and check both the fill and drain valves while
servicing the unit.
6. Check the strainer. If it is dirty or restricting the
water-replace it.
7. Install cylinder in unit by pushing downward with a
slight twisting motion, while ensuring proper
orientation of tank within cabinet.
8. Reconnect electrode power wires #38 and #39, and
cylinder full electrode, wire #29. Make sure that all
electrical connections are securely tightened.
9. Follow cold start-up instructions on page 10. Monitor
amp draw for several cycles. .
Extended Shutdown
Always drain cylinder completely if unit will be off for an
extended period of time. This will preserve the life of the
cylinder.
