A Be sure the electric outlet for the solution pump
is grounded the right way to protect the user
from injury or possible fatal shock.
WHAT DOES YOUR SOLUTJO
Water is one of the best soSvents known to man, It
dissolves and picks up part of everything it
touches_ As water filters through the earth and
rock strata, it absorbs minerals such as calcium,
magnesium, iron and hydrogen sulfide (rotten
egg odor), If the water is not treated and improved
in some way, it may be useless, Feeding solutions
into the water is a good way to treat the water.
Your Sears Solution Dispensing System treats the
following kinds of water problems, DO NOT USE
THE SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO PURIFY
POLLUTED WATER.
(1) IRON WATER -- MAX. 20 PPM
(2) HYDROGEN SULFIDE WATER -- MAX, 20
PPM
(3) ACID WATER -- 4.0 pH and ABOVE.
(4)ACID WATER AND IRON BACTERIA,
HYDROGEN SULFIDE, OR HIGH AMOUNTS
OF IRON -- MAX. 20 PPM TOTAL and 4.0 pH.
The following briefly describes each of these
water problems
(1) IRON WATER -- One of the most common
elements in the earth's crust, iron causes water
problems all over the world. It makes rust stains
on almost everything it touches, gives water a
(NOTE: BACTERIAL IRON and IRON BACTERIAarethe same )
metal taste and causes many other problems_ The
2 main forms of iron are FERROUS and FERRIC
Ferrous or CLEAR WATER iron is the most
common type. Water with ferrous iron is clear
when taken from a fauceL After standing for 15 to
30 minutes, the water turns to a yellow or brown
color.
Ferric or RED WATER iron is rusty or brown as it's
taken from the faucet, After standing for awhile
the iron will settle out.
BACTERIAL iron is another kind of ferric iron.
When this water is taken from a faucet and left
standing for several hours, it forms slimy, stringy,
mud-like clumps.
TREATING IRON WATER -- Adding chlorine to
the water and then filtering it is a good way to
remove both the ferrous and ferric forms of iron,
Chlorine also kills iron bacteria. A Sears Solution
Dispensing System feeds household laundry
bleach into the water system ahead of the pressure
tank, The chlorine in the bleach oxidizes the iron.
Then a Sears Automatic Clarifier and a Sears
3
WHAT YOUR SOLUT OI
water softener, installed on the outlet side of the
pressure tank, filters and softens the water If you
do not like a remaining chlorine taste, Sears has
taste and odor filters to remove it,
(2) HYDROGEN SULFIDE WATER -- Many water
supplies corrtain hydrogen sulfide (sulphur)
Dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas, in underground
water, gives the water a bad taste and/or odor
similar to rotten eggs This water is often corro-
sive and may stain sinks and faucets
A Sears Solution Dispensing System feeding
chlorine, oxidizes hydrogen sulfide and other
sulfides making them tasteless and odorless If
the water has both hydrogen sulfide and iron,
Sears urges you to install an Automatic Clarifier
along with the dispensing system InstallaSears
Taste and Odor filter to remove chlorine taste
and odor
(3) ACID WATER-- Water is measured on a pH
scale of 0to 14. Water with a pH of 7 0 is neutral,
and over 70 it's basic (alkaline) If the pH is less
than 7 0, the water contains too much acid Acid
water corrodes galvanized and copper plumbing,
and makes red or blue-green stains on plumbing
fixtures, dishes and clothes It often addsa bitter
taste to the water because of dissolved copper or
iron caused by the corroding
Sears Neutralizer Compound, Stock No 42-
34475, fed into the water by a Sears Solution
Dispensing System raises the pH to 7.0making it
neutral Neutralized, the water will no longer
corrode or stain
(4) ACID WATER, AND IRON BACTERIA, HY-
DROGEN SULFIDE OR HIGH AMOUNTS OF
IRON -- A mixture of Sears Neutralizing Com-
pound, Stock No 42-34475, and chlorine treats
acid water that also has iron, bacteria or hydro-
gen sulfide The neutralizer raises the pH of the
water to help the chlorine oxidize the iron or
hydrogen sulfide Oxidized, the iron or hydrogen
sulfide is filtered with a Sears Automatic Clarifier.
I WATER SYSTEM TESTS
HAS YOUR WATER SUPPLY HAD CHEMICAL
ANALYSIS? A chemical analysis tells you the
types and amounts of elements in the water,
These facts determine what size and type of water
treating equipment is needed, and how to cor-
rectly use it If your water needs analysis, call or
write your nearest Sears store for help_
CHECK YOUR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
PRESSURE For your solution dispensing system
to work right, water system pressure must be less
than 75 psi If pressure is over 75 psi, buy and
install a pressure reducing valve or adjust the
pump pressure switch NOTE: If daytime pressure
is 60 psi or more, pressure during the night hours
may go over 75 psi.
If you have a well water system, look at the
pressure gauge to find the water pressure. Call
your local water department if you have city water.
They will tell you what the water pressure is where
,ou live

TREATING WELL WATER
PRE-TREATING PRIVATE WELL SYSTEMS
HAVING IRON BACTERIA -- Before you put the
dispensing system together and install it, chlor-
inate the well if it contains more than 10 parts per
million (ppm) of bacterial iron. Use the following
steps.
NOTE: If you don't chlorinate the well, you may
have iron in your water for up to 2 months after
you install the solution dispensing system
1_ For each 50 gallons of water in the well, pour 1
quart of ordinary household bleach into it. On
some wells, you can pour the bleach through the
breather pipe. On others, you may have to remove
the well seal
NOTE: You will probably have to estimate how
much water is in the well and use atrial and error
method of treatment, or else ask a qualified well
technician.
,&CAUTION: This much chlorine, at one time,
could exhaust the activated carbon in a taste
and odor filter° If you have a taste and odor
filter in your water system, by pass it to keep
the chlorine out while doing this pre4reating.
2. Pour several gallons of water into the well to
flush the bleach down to the water level
3 Open all faucets in the house, 1 at a time.
Close each faucet when you can smell the
bleach• Keep the water system closed for a
minimum of 2 hours If possible, keep closed
overnight
4. After 2 hours, or the next morning, open all
faucets and let the water run until clear and the
bleach odor is gone
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
