![]() To find parts that will fit a specific iron, enter the manufacturer and model of the iron in the Filter By Manufacturer. Personally, I'd just wash dishes by hand, but it's my dd's chore and she wants to use the dishwasher. See all of our available Iron Replacement Parts here, including replacement thermostats, switches, steam valves, water reservoirs, filters, and many more parts to help you keep up with your iron maintenance or repair. I'm tired of not being able to wash clothes at home, having rust on everything, and having the iron build up in things like the dishwasher to the point where it no longer fills - it's plugged and I have to pour hot water into the dishwasher to use it. My house water is currently running nearly as brown as what comes out of the ground, and full of little particles of rust. I see where if you buy a new filter, there is an instruction video and booklet with it - does anyone have one that I could buy from them, borrow and copy, or something? Is there anyone on here that has any experience with a system like mine that could help me out? I found a place in TX where I can order the media once I know what I need.I'd like to find someone in SW WA ideally. Because of this, I want to learn how to change the media used in the filters and what I need to buy for it. I have trouble getting the guy that installed the system to come out and service it, too. ![]() ![]() I am looking at possibly having to take apart the system and need to rebuild the pumphouse while I'm at it. I have had a continuing problem with the lines from the pressure tank plugging with iron deposits, which affects both the water pressure and the effectiveness of the reverse flow filter. It looks like the pressure tank should be first, then the filters. In looking at the info I found on line, it appears that this system is not installed properly. There is a MacClean UN 2001 Upflow Neutralizer Filter, followed by the pressure tank, then a MacClean MCA 1001 Chem-Free Filter to remove the iron (reverse flow back flush) before it goes to the house. I don't want to ruin anything by doing it wrong, but it can't be good for it to just keep running all the iron and mineral filled water through without recharging the filters, either.Īnyone have a link or the info I need? I will be ever so grateful for any help you can give me!!!!! You'll be my :angel:I have extremely foul well water here - it comes out of the ground brown with iron, and it smells like the sulfer springs at Yellowstone. I know that the first tank also has to be flushed out every 6 months or so - don't have a clue how to do that, either. I know that there are caps you remove on each of the tanks to add the chemicals, but I don't know how much I need to add, which one goes where, and where to buy replacement chemicals. I have it set up to backfilter daily, and I know it does, as I see the orange water coming out the backfilter pipe. Then it hits the tank where it is filtered - that filter backflushes on a timer, anywhere from daily to every 3rd day, IIRC. I've had to have the pipes taken apart and totally cleaned of packed in iron sludge before. I think it's a screwy setup, as when you put the precipitated water through the pressure tank, it results in iron sludge building up in the tank and pipes. I looked through the service manual to see if this was right but all signs indicate that there should be some kind of media with this filter. ![]() I was taking it a part today to clean it and notice that there was only 3 inches of gravel at the bottom of the tank. Like I posted, I can't get the well guy to service what he sells, so I guess I need to learn how to do it myself? :help: My setup has 2 separate filters - the first adds a chemical to cause the iron to precipitate, then it goes through a pressure tank, then into another filter that removes the iron and other minerals that have precipitated, then it goes out to the house. I have recently bought a home that has a Macclean NMB1001 backwash filter system. In conjunction with my other thread on the Sawyer filters, I'm hoping one of you might be familiar with the MacClean water filtration systems? I will probably also post this under the Homesteading Questions forum, but I was hoping that one of you (or more) might be familiar with the system I have on my well now.
