Introduction
Advantages Over Other Systems
1. No chemicals or salt.
2. No air injectors, venturis, or micronizers.
3. No floats to regulate air volume in aeration tank which “foul” from iron.
4. Two-tank system consisting of a pressurized aeration tank
and multi-media depth filter.
5. 110V aeration pump to recharge aeration tank.
6. Can be used on shared wells, municipal water supplies
or with buried pressure tanks without additional equipment.
7. Better filtration results.

How your Water
Filter Works CAUTION! The Iron-Cleer system must be supplied with cold water only.
Step 1
Aeration Operation Service Cycle
In the service cycle, raw water enters the inlet port of the aeration tank
and is directed through the inlet diffuser. The oxidation process begins
when the water passes through the inlet diffuser and cascades through
a head of air. This air/ water contact oxidizes the iron, manganese,
hydrogen sulfide in the water. The water is directed toward the bottom
of the tank and travels through the pick-up tube. It then passes through
the outlet of the aeration tank to the inlet of the filter tank. See Figure 1.
Filter Tank Operation Service Cycle
Raw water enters the filter tank through the inlet port of the filter control
valve. Upon system demand for filtered water, water is directed to the top
of the tank and flows downward through the multimedia filter bed toward
the lower distributor. Oxidized iron particles are trapped by the filter bed as
the water passes through. Filtered water enters the lower distributor and
travels up the distributor tube to the outlet port on the filter valve.
Step 2
Aeration Operation Air Recharge Cycle
When energized, the air pump sends air through the solenoid valve into one
end of the shuttle valve. Once air pressure in the shuttle valve is greater than
the water supply pressure at the other end of the shuttle valve, the piston shifts
to the open position. In the open position, the bleed-off port discharges excess
water and old air to the drain port through a flow restrictor. Simultaneously, the air
inlet port opens to provide a direct connection between the air pump and the top
of the aeration tank. The air pump runs for a preset period of time recharging the
head of air in the aeration tank. See Figure 2.
Air Recharge Shut Off
The timer turns power off to the air pump and the solenoid valve at the end
of the recharge cycle. The solenoid valve then closes the port between the
air pump and the shuttle valve. The port between the shuttle valve and the
atmosphere opens and releases air pressure. This allows water pressure to
shift the piston to the closed position. With the piston in the closed position,
the air recharge inlet port is closed and direct communication between the
bleed off tube and the drain port is also closed.
Timer Operation
A timer controls the air recharge cycle and how frequently it occurs. The timer simultaneously
energizes the air pump and the solenoid valve. After a preset amount of time, the timer shuts
off the air pump and de-energizes the solenoid valve.
Solenoid Valve Operation
The solenoid valve is a three-way valve having ports that connect to the air pump, shuttle valve and
the atmosphere. In the service cycle, the solenoid valve is de-energized and closes the port to the
air pump, providing a positive shut-off to the pump. This prevents water from backing up into the air
pump and damaging the pump. In the air recharge cycle, the solenoid valve closes the port to the
atmosphere and opens the port from the air pump.

01023188 F 09/19
Shuttle Valve Operation
In the service position, water pressure holds the shuttle valve piston in the closed position,
trapping the airhead in the aeration tank and closes the air recharge inlet port and drain port.
During air recharge cycle, air pressure is greater than the water pressure and forces the shuttle
valve piston in the open piston. The shuttle valve has an internal pressure relief valve that will
relieve pressure (greater than 100 psi) that may build up in the aeration tank. This precautionary
function protects components from failure due to excessive pressure.
Step 3
Filter Tank Operation—Backwash Cycle
Reversing the flow of water through the filter bed and backwashing dirty water to the drain cleans
the filter bed. Raw water enters the filter control valve through the inlet port and is directed down
the distributor tube and out the lower distributor at the bottom of the tank, flowing upward through
the multimedia filter bed toward the top of the tank into the control valve. Water is then directed
through a specific flow restrictor and out the drain port to be discharged to drain.
Step 4
Filter Tank Operation—Rinse Cycle
The rinse cycle packs the clean filter bed. Raw water enters the control valve through the inlet port
and is directed downward through the filter bed into the bottom distributor, up the distributor tube into
the control valve. Water is then directed through a specific flow restrictor and out the drain port to be
discharged to drain.
Operation Of Aeration Pump
The Iron-Cleer™ system introduces air into the aeration tank and bleeds off the old head of air
automatically. The exchange of the air into the aeration tank is controlled independently of the recharge
frequency of the filter media tank, allowing the air to be exchanged on a more frequent basis. During
an air exchange cycle, the air compressor pumps fresh air into the aeration tank and the air eliminator
solenoid exhausts the old air.

Operating
Conditions The concentration limits listed below reflect the maximum individual limit that each contaminant
was tested for separately without any interference of other contaminants in the influent water.
In reality, however, we know that these contaminants may be present in combination which
may limit the filter’s ability to remove these contaminants in higher concentrations. In some
cases, individual sellers of this equipment have had success removing higher concentrations of
contaminants—iron, for example—above the limitations we have listed. If you are considering the
installation of this system for the reduction/removal of iron beyond the written operating conditions
below, we recommend that you consult the manufacturer for proper application. Installation of this
system under these circumstances may void part(s) and/or all of the system warranty.
pH—The pH level of the influent water must be 7.0–8.5.ApH level of 7.0–8.5 is optimal for iron reduction.
Iron—This system is rated for a maximum of 10 ppm of ferrous (clear water) and/or ferric (red water) iron.
Consult the factory if iron bacteria is present.
Hydrogen Sulfide—Often referred to as rotten egg odor. Consult the manufacturer.
Organic Matter (Tannins)—The presence of organic matter such as tannins will prevent the
oxidation process of converting the dissolved element, such as iron or manganese, to a non-
soluble precipitate or solid substance, allowing it to be filtered out. The Iron-Cleer® is not
designed to remove organic bound iron.
NOTE: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed
to provide for connection to the sanitary waste system through an air
gap of two pipe diameters or 25.4 mm (1 inch), whichever is larger.

When and How
to Bypass Your
Water Filter
Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water filter. There are times when the water filter
should be bypassed, using the Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, or a three-way bypass valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water filter, and you do not
want to waste filtered water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and do not want the unit to recharge.
Bypass Valve
In the back of Culligan water filter is a Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass valve.
To bypass the unit, turn the blue knob clockwise.
To return to soft water service, turn the blue knob counter-clockwise.
About 3/8”

To BYPASS, turn the blue knob clockwise (see directional arrow on end of knob)
until the knob stops as shown in Figure 4.
