indicating that the highest mineral content is selected (~70% TDS reduction). One LED means the second highest mineral level,
two LEDs mean the middle level, three LEDs mean the second lowest level, and all four LEDs mean the lowest mineral level is
selected (>85% TDS reduction, full clockwise dial position). After the dial has been set, the LEDs indicating mineral level will
turn off and resume their normal display. The tank must be emptied and refilled to observe the change.
When treating water comprising regulated contaminants, the Dial-a-Taste control should be set fully counter-clockwise to
maximize reduction of the regulated contaminant.
External Leak Sensor (Optional)
The LINX 160 system comes equipped with an internal leak sensor to detect leaks and shut off the feed water supply to the entire
system to prevent the risk of water damage. If a leak is detected, the A, B and D lights blink and the buzzer sounds. To stop the
buzzer, unplug the LINX 160 system.
Optionally available are external leak sensors which may be battery powered or connected by cable to the rear of the LINX 160
system to detect leaks from other appliances or pipes, such as beneath the sink drain plumbing. When powered by the LINX 160
system; leak detection causes the LINX 160 system to alarm as for an internal leak; to stop the alarm, unplug the LINX 160 system.
When battery powered, the external sensor itself sounds the buzzer; to stop the buzzer, remove the batteries. The external sensor
can be repowered when the area is dry.
Section 5. Maintenance
LINX 50 TDS Cartridge, LINX 120 Sediment and Carbon Filters
The LINX 160 system includes three replaceable components:
• One LINX 50 TDS cartridge
• One LINX 120 Sediment filter
• One LINX 120 Carbon filter (GAC).
Additionally, space is reserved for an optional third LINX 120 filter (eg. a second carbon post-filter). The indicator lights let you
know it is time to call for service (see Indicator Status Table in the previous section). All three components need replacement at
650 gallons (2500 liters). Some reduction in water flow rate may be noticed near the end of filter and cartridge life. Contact
your Authorized Dealer for service and replacement of cartridges and filters.
Drain Blockage Alarm
When treating hard water, scale may accumulate in the drain valves or drain line causing a plugged drain line. If a drain plug is
detected, the system will shut-down and all four indicator lights (blue and red) will blink in unison If this alarm is observed, reset
the system by repowering it. This is done by detaching and reattaching the power cord at the rear of the LCM 160 system. If
the alarm occurs again, contact your Authorized Dealer for maintenance.
The drain plugged alarm will also occur if the feed pressure is lost. The LCM 160 system will check every 20 minutes to
determine if pressure has been restored, and will automatically clear the alarm when pressure is detected.
