That pressure gauge would be 1/4"
We do not offer a tool for the removal of the sump, for a 1.2 model its part # ZR10K-34.
includes 100 micron screen, see attached for the other options: http://s3.supplyhouse.com/product_files/F76S1015-Submittal%20Sheet.pdf
If the drain is at the bottom then you can replace the entire sump. There are some parts available, but there is no replacement drain as that is part of the sump.
we do not have that info, you should contact Honeywell.
No, The F76S Filter does not contain any UV protective materials, so exposure to the sun will change the mechanical properties. it’s not recommended to be installed outdoors use where it will be exposed to the sun.
My usage is much more extreme than yours. The water comes out of my well brown and loaded with sediment. I have two of these in a row, one with a 100 micron and one with a 50 micron cartridge, and then I have a cloth disposable cartridge filter at the end. I have to flush these with the built in valve every couple days to maintain pressure, and every few months I dissasemble the filters and scrub the cartridges off with a brass brush in warm water to break any clogs up. I have been using these filters for over 4 years now, and the cartridges still seem fine when put back in. Twice I've had to replace the O-ring because it stretched over time and keeps the internal unit from sliding up and down smoothly, but other than that everything works like it did when I first installed them. With your use I can't imagine ever needing to actually replace the filter.
The filter might never need replacing...or it might need it every year. How often depends on your water ...specifically, whether your water is slightly acid or basic and what is dissolved in it, and how that material may or may not plate out on the stainless mesh filter. Our well water has a fair amount of sediment and is slightly acid with various dissolved metals - that's your typical "average water" for this Rocky Mountain region. We try to remember to back-flush the filter every 3 months or so using the built in flushing mechanism. If we go over 6 months between flushings it may be necessary to take the filter out - easy to do - and scrub it with a tooth brush. After 7 years we are still on our first filter and it shows no sign of wear. If our water was heavy in calcium or other carbonates it might be a different story.
Gordon, If you are having problems with sand particles getting into toilet fill valves causing them to stick and such then the sediment filter is the perfect solution for that kind of problem. It will only solve removing grit, sand etc. It will however do nothing to solve your rust issue which is most likely related to low PH water and would require some sort of acid neutralizer and there are several different options available. You should contact a local water treatment company for direction on the rust issue. They usually don't charge anything to get your water tested and giving you a quote. You would have nothing to lose. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck, Ken
Yes, it does. The 100-micron screen comes standard.
You get exactly what is pictured...the screen is part of the filter. It requires periodic backflushing out the bottom by turning the valve at bottom of the filter
Yes. The unit comes with the plastic sump and the 100 micron screen.
Yes, it's ready to go.
You will get everything in the shown in the picture.
At least on the F76 (1 1/4") that I have there is no bypass feature. If the filter gets plugged the output pressure simply drops, eventually to near zero if you let it. During the backwash cycle dirty water is still sent through a secondary filter so there should never be a time that unfiltered water gets through.
Hi, When I had problems with mine plugging up,(after 5 years of use), I called Honeywell and they said there was nothing serviceable in the the filter, (of course you wonder why it comes with a wrench to take the plastic cylinder off if nothing is serviceable). I had bought a back-up filter which I had to install 2 months ago when my first filter failed and I had no water pressure. My best advice is to backflush often to avoid problems. Call Honeywell if you need more info...
The unit I am using right now doesnt have a bypass feature. It has a 2 section filter with a back wash capability. I do the back washing manually while the unit is in use but that can be done automatically with the optional electrical timer which I havent bought. The water pressure decreases when it started to get clogged (naturally) but I never have reached a situation where it starts pumping sediments in to the main line. Hope this helps. Thanks Lal
I do not know how to bypass the unit. I installed the automatic timer that flushes the unit by itself (it has variable time frequency setting), therefore I never have too much sediments collecting on the screen. I have a private well system, before the installation of the unit I did have a problem with the sediments plugging up the facets and clothes washer. So far so good, it works great for my needs. Hopefully that helps. Oscar
The filter will not bypass. When it clogs, the flow will drop to 0. I had this happen the other when a slug of sediment got sucked up by the well pump. At this point the filter will be so badly clogged that you will have to disassemble the filter and wash the screen out. This is a easy task to accomplish. Normal operation will allow you to turn the backflush knob and clear the filter without disassembling it.
No, this unit will not remove iron.
It won't filter iron but will catch the stringy iron bacteria that comes with the iron. A finer screen would make the filter more effective at capturing the iron bacteria. A iron filter will still be required.
