Introduction
The Aeration lter system functions as a regenerable water treatment unit utilizing oxygen
instead of potentially harmful chemicals to rejuvenate and enhance the performance of the
selective ltration media. The ltration media provided is specic to the water contaminant or
contaminants your water treatment specialist has identied.
The Fleck 2510 AIO (Aerating Iron Oxidizer) Control Valve utilizes an air injection system to
remove iron (ferrous or clear water), manganese, and sulfur from the water by both oxidation
and ltration. Unlike other iron lter alternatives, the Fleck 2510 AIO technology is designed
for use in a single tank and valve system conguration, reducing both initial and maintenance
costs yet delivering years of trouble-free service. No chemical additives or air compressors are
required for operation or regeneration with the Fleck 2510 AIO’s unique and advanced design.
Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe.
Installation Requirements
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 30 psi of water pressure (2.7bar) is required for
regeneration valve to operate effectively.
CAUTION: Water pressure must not exceed 80psi (5.5 bars), water temperature is not to
exceed 110°F (43°C), and the unit cannot be subjected to freezing conditions.
NOTE: Due to the air pocket, exceeding 80PSI will adversely impact performance.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted 120 volt (A/C) supply is required. The valve is
supplied with a 24vac transformer.
Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from scale and iron
buildup. Piping that is built up heavily with scale and/or iron should be replaced.
LOCATION OF OXIDIZER AND DRAIN: The oxidizing lter should be located close to a drain
to prevent air breaks and back ow.
The oxidizing lter should be installed ahead of any water softeners.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped
with one.
1

Installation Instructions
1. Place the oxidizer tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on
a rm base.
2. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to room temperature before
operating.
3. All plumbing must be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for
residential drain line should be a minimum of 1/2” (13 mm). Backwash ow rates in excess of
7 gpm (26.4 L/pm) or length in excess of 20’ (6 m) require 3/4” (19 mm) drain line. Commercial
drain lines should be the same size as the drain line ow control. Due to the release of
the air during regeneration, the drain line must be secured at the end, and anchored
throughout the run.
4. The check valve supplied with the valve must be installed at the valve inlet to prevent the
pressurized air head in the oxidizer tank from venting backwards up the feed water plumbing.
5. If not factory installed assemble the deflector to the distributor tube.
Deflector Installation:
Put a thin layer of silicone lube around inside diameter of the deflector. Slowly slide the deflector
over the distributor tube down about 1”. When threading the AIO valve to the tank, the bottom
of the threads will slide the deector down. As shown above.
6. Lubricate the distributor O-ring seal and tank O-ring seal. Place the main control valve on
tank.
Note: Only use silicone lubricant.
7. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control
tting (DLFC). Leave at least 6” (15 cm) between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering
pipes that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the
DLFC.
8. Teon® tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain tting. Do not use pipe dope or
other compounds as they contain petrochemical elements and will attack the drain housing
and cause failure.
2

9. Place the bypass valve in the by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a
cold ltered water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign
material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the
water tap.
10. Note this system is supplied without media installed for ease of transportation and
simplifying site location. Refer to the section of this manual for Media Filtration installation
Guide/Commissioning.
11. Plug unit transformer into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be
connected according to local codes. Be certain the outlet is continually powered (unswitched/
uninterrupted).
CONTROLLER
NOTE: The electronic control is preset at the factory so that it will begin regeneration at
12:00 A.M. every third day. This ensures the right times for each step of the regeneration
process. Under normal circumstances, these settings will not need to be altered and
should not be changed.
The frequency and time of regeneration can be changed due to the following reasons:
• A need for the unit to regenerate at a different time of day (DO NOT regenerate any other
softener/lter at the same time as the AIO, since this will interfere with the regeneration
process). Allow for a sufcient delay between the regeneration of equipment downstream of
this lter for water recovery in low yielding wells.
• In conditions of high water usage and/or high levels of iron, the unit may need to regenerate
more frequently than once every three days. The unit can be set for daily regeneration or
to regenerate every two days. It is not advisable in most instances to set the regeneration
frequency for a longer period than 3 days, as the lter medium can become fouled with iron,
rendering the unit ineffective.

CONTROLLER
Timer Operation
In normal operation, the Time of Day display will alternate being viewed with the Days
Remaining display. This display will be in gallons (options are liters or cubic meters). As treated
water is used, the Days Remaining display will count down from a maximum value to zero or
(- - -). Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the Set Regeneration Time.
Water ow through the valve is indicated by the Flow Indicator that will ash in direct
relationship to ow rate.
Time Clock Delayed Control (Factory Default Setting)
A Time Clock Delayed Control regenerates the system on a timed interval. The control will initi-
ate a regeneration cycle at the programmed regeneration time when the number of days since
the last regeneration equals the regeneration day override value.
4

Day of the Week Control
This control regenerates the system on a weekly schedule. The schedule is dened in Master
Programming by setting each day to either “off” or “on.” The control will initiate the regeneration
cycle on the days that have been set to “on” at the specied regeneration time.
Control Operation during Regeneration
During regeneration, the control displays a special regeneration display. In this display, the
control shows the current regeneration step number the valve is advancing to, or has reached,
and the time remaining in that step. The step number that displays ashes until the valve
completes driving to this regeneration step position. Once all regeneration steps are complete
the valve returns to service and resumes normal operation.
Pressing the Extra Cycle button during a regeneration cycle immediately advances the valve to
the next cycle step position and resumes normal step timing.
Control Operation during Programming
The SXT control only enters the Program Mode with the valve in service. While in the Program
Mode, the control continues to operate normally monitoring water usage and keeping all
displays up to date. Control programming is stored in memory permanently, eliminating the
need for battery backup power.
Control Operation during a Power Failure
The SXT includes integral power backup. In the event of power failure, the control shifts into a
power-saving mode. The control stops monitoring water usage, and the display and motor shut
down, but it continues to keep track of the time and day for a minimum of 48 hours.
The system conguration settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and are stored
indenitely with or without line power. The Time of Day ashes when there has been a power
failure. Press any button to stop the Time of Day from ashing.
If power fails while the unit is in regeneration, the control will save the current valve position
before it shuts down. When power is restored, the control will resume the regeneration cycle
from the point where power failed. Note that if power fails during a regeneration cycle, the
valve will remain in its current position until power is restored. The valve system should include
all required safety components to prevent overows resulting from a power failure during
regeneration.
The control will not start a new regeneration cycle without line power. If the valve misses a
scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will queue regeneration. Once power is
restored, the control will initiate a regeneration cycle the next time that the Time of Day equals
the programmed regeneration time. Typically, this means that the valve will regenerate one day
after it was originally scheduled. If the treated water output is important and power interruptions
are expected, the system should be setup with a sufcient reserve capacity to compensate for
regeneration delays.
5

Setting the Time of Day
1. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the
service icon and the parameter display reads TD.
2. Adjust the displayed time with the up or down button.
3. When the desired time is set, press and release the Extra Cycle button to resume normal
operation. The unit will also return to normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are
pressed.
Regeneration Options:
Queuing a Delayed Regeneration
1. Press and release the Extra Cycle button once. The service icon will ash to indicate that
the regeneration is queued to occur at the next selected regeneration hour.
2. To cancel a queued regeneration, press and release the Extra Cycle button again. The
service icon will stop ashing.
Regenerating Immediately
Press and hold the Extra Cycle button for ve seconds.
1. The timer advances to Regeneration Cycle Step #1 (backwash), and begins
programmed time count down. Default Factory set at 14 minutes.
2. Press and release the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #2 (brine draw & slow rinse). Default Factory set at 40 minutes
3. Press and release the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #3 (rapid rinse). Default Factory set at 1 minute
4. Press and release the Extra Cycle button once to advance valve to Regeneration
Cycle Step #4 (brine rell). Default Factory set at OFF
Press and release the Extra Cycle button once more to advance the valve back to in service.
NOTE: Any regeneration cycle step can be advanced to the next step by pressing and
releasing the cycle button

Regeneration Cycle (55 minutes):
Automatic Bypass during Regeneration
The lter is factory set to regenerate at 12:00 a.m., normally a period of little or no water use.
The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 55 minutes, after which ltered water service is
restored.
While the regeneration cycle is in progress raw water will automatically bypasses the lter if
required. If possible, avoid using water during this time to prevent untreated water entering
your household plumbing system.
The programmed regeneration time may be changed to accommodate households with varying
schedules, however once set to meet water quality requirements the cycle duration times
should not be changed.
1. Backwash (14 minutes):
During this cycle, the water carrying the iron runs to the drain. Untreated water is available
during regeneration.
2. Air Recharge (40 minutes):
During this cycle, the unit empties water to drain and is recharged with air. The sound of air
being recharged will be heard. Air bubbles should go down to the drain before proceeding to
the next step. Adjust cycle time if necessary.
3. Rapid Rinse (1 minute):
During this cycle, water enters the tank, compressing the air into a pocket at the top of the
tank.
4. Brine Fill (OFF)

Media Filtration installation Guide/Commissioning
Consult Installation Instructions supplied with this system for equipment positioning and
plumbing requirements.
Media ltration systems supplied by Blake Water Solutions are shipped without the media
preloaded.
Aeration/Oxidation ltration media selected for Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulde removal
or other conditions your equipment supplier has identied are dependent on many factors
and are carefully selected and applied based on reported water conditions at the time of
testing. Variables such as pH changes, changes in mineral concentration, unreported water
contaminants as well as increased ow and usage rates may affect the performance of this
system.
1. With the bypass valve in the bypass position disconnect the control valve from
the bypass valve and remove the control valve from the mineral tank.Care should be
exercised to avoid damage to the distribution tube and screen while loading the selected
media for the application.
2. Plug the open end of the riser tube to ensure that no ltration media or gravel falls
down into the riser tube. The riser tube should be rmly seated and centered in the tank
and should be ush with the top of the tank opening (or tank top bushing if required).
Underbed support gravel if required should be pre-rinsed to remove nes and grit which
could clog the screens and then carefully loaded covering the distributor basket. Adding
a sufcient amount of water (approximately 6” above the distributor) to the vessel prior to
adding the gravel will minimize the potential for damage and help to level the support bed.
3. Next load the required amount of media selected for the application. Again, adding
additional water to the vessel will assist in loading by minimizing dust and optimize
leveling.
4. Unplug the riser tube, carefully position the valve over it and turn the valve into the
threads in the berglass tank, tightening securely into tank and secure to the existing
piping bypass.
Note: Ensure that the internal O-ring in the valve ts securely over the riser tube.
Silicone lubricant should be applied to the O-ring to ease installation of the riser
tube.
DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants as they will cause swelling of O-ring seals.

5. The bypass valve supplied with the equipment should still be in the bypass position
and the lter tank can now be completely lled with water by depressing the cycle button
on the control valve to initiate backwash and slowly opening the bypass to ll the tank with
water and purge any air. Once lled and purged of air the bypass should be returned to the
bypass position. The valve controller can now be cycled back to the service position. This
step will allow the media to absorb water and will reduce the chance of backwashing media
out of the tank during the initial backwash on nal start-up.
6. Once the media is sufciently hydrated the system regeneration cycle should be
initiated and the bypass valve slowly opened as the valve cycles into backwash. The
backwash cycle should continue unit the water runs clear. The valve can ow be cycled to
service and the bypass valve opened allowing treated water to enter the household piping.
Caution: most Medias including, but not limited to, Carbon, Filter Ag,
and Chemsorb require hydration prior to being put into service as
they are shipped dry. A minimum of 4 hours presoak, but preferably
overnight saturation is recommended to condition any newly installed
media for service.
Disinfect as detailed under System disinfection sheet P/N SYSDIS.
Note: Some ltration media such as Birm® have a low tolerance for chlorine or other
disinfectants and therefore sanitization concentrations should be carefully monitored. Consult
the specic media bulletins including the Material Safety Data Sheet or contact Blake
Water Solutions if in doubt. Follow by an extended backwash to remove nes and until the
backwash water runs clear. The system is now ready for service.
