Conditioning the LINX 50 TDS Cartridge, and LINX 120 Sediment and Carbon Filters
When a new LINX 160 system is installed or the LINX 50 TDS cartridge and LINX 120 filters have been replaced, the system
must undergo three steps to ready it for drinking water production: 1) a 90 minute conditioning of the LINX 50 TDS cartridge, 2)
filling the tank (empty it if full at the start), and 3) emptying the tank from the faucet to rinse the carbon filter (automatically
triggering tank refill). Your Authorized Dealer will initiate the 90 minute LINX 50 TDS cartridge step during service. The
LINX 160 system will not produce water during this period.
System Operation
After the service volume has been delivered, 1.5 gallons (6.0 liters) on the low TDS feed setting and 1.0 gallons (4.0 liters) on the
high setting, a 27 minute regeneration takes place. After regeneration a “clicking” noise will be heard for 10 seconds during
which the LINX 160 system is cleaning its valves.
Note: While drinking water is always available, the LINX 160 and 160M systems are designed for intermittent, not
continuous, use. To obtain the specified ≥85% TDS reduction, the systems must be configured as described in the
Specification section. To maintain the 3 year Warranty, the average daily usage must be <25gallons (100 liters).
Indicator Lights
Above the Dial-a-Taste control knob is a green light indicating that the unit is powered and functioning. The four other indicator
lights, labeled A, B, C and D (see image below) are used to signal system status as shown in the following table. When the
system is producing water, blue light A flashes. When in regeneration, red light B flashes. For the four “alarms” at the bottom
of the table, repowering will reset the system; if the alarm re-occurs, call your Authorized Dealer.

Dial-A-Taste
®
Mineral Level Control (LINX 160 model only)
The mineral level of the product water can be changed by turning the Dial-a-Taste control at the front of the unit. Turning the
dial clockwise increases mineral content. As the dial is turned, the blue and red LEDs will light-up for several seconds to indicate
the mineral level selected. None of the four LEDs will light-up when the dial is set to the full counter-clockwise position
