Beware when buying other charcoal filters If they don t specify the percentage of chlorine removed don t use them The cheap ones in most cases will only remove 60 or 70 Also there are aftermarket filters which are very close to but not ex actly the same dimensions that will not seal properly in the housing The membrane can only handle small amounts of chlorine for short periods without damage The chlorine will damage the bonding agent in the membrane in a very short time So if you skimp on the charcoal filter you will toast a 600 membrane on the first flush The other factor 1s the flow rate that the filter can handle Because the chlorine 1s deactivated by a chemical reaction with the charcoal 1 must remain contact with the charcoal for sufficient period of time for the reaction to be complete The filter we use can handle 1 5 gallons 6 litres per minute flow and are good for 3000 gal lons 12 000 litres at 1 5 GPM or six months whichever comes first Regardless of the flow the charcoal loses its effectiveness after six months 7 26 04 5 2 SPECTRA WATERMAKERS VP 2 ADJUSTING THE AC SPEED CONTROL WARNING ELECTRICAL HAZARD 120v OR 220v AC POWER WILL BE PRESENT ON THE TERMINAL BLOCKS WHILE AD JUSTMENTS ARE BEING MADE The SCM amp SCL speed controls are used to set the feed pump motor speed by changing ships AC 50 or 60 HZ power to another desired frequency This allows the pump to be operated to provide pr
