Congra ula ions on he purchase of your TITAN-Ox™ Series arsenic and heavy me al
fil ra ion sys em.
You have purchased one of the finest arsenic treatment systems on the market today. All
TITAN-Ox™ Series ater treatment systems utilize the orld's most advanced titanium
dioxide media to remove arsenic (both arsenic III and arsenic V), uranium, lead, cadmium,
copper, chromium +6, selenium, zinc and other heavy metals. Our titanium dioxide out-
performs iron and alumina-based removal systems – it has a high adsorbent capacity and
reacts quickly. It is long lasting and more environmentally-friendly. When the media has
reached exhaustion, it is non-hazardous and may be landfilled ithout concern about
leaching trapped contaminants back into the ecosystem. No chemical regeneration of the
media is required and back ash requirements are minimal so ater is not asted.
The brain of your TITAN-Ox™ system is the Fleck 5810SXT control valve. It is manufactured
by one of the orld’s premier ater treatment companies. The Fleck 5810 control valve is
ell respected for its reliability, serviceability, simple operation, and value. The integrated
Fleck SXT digital valve controller offers unsurpassed simplicity of operation, yet complete
control over all important valve operations. The Fleck 5810 and SXT controller service
manuals are also included ith your system.
Your TITAN-Ox™ ater treatment system is designed to offer lo maintenance operation.
The control valve ill perform regular back ash functions automatically. For your
convenience, your system has been pre-programmed for you at our factory. Should you
need to change any of the settings, simply follo the instructions provided in this manual.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Do not allo children or pets to play on or around the ater filter.
Do not install or store this filter system here it ill be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Do not tamper ith controls.
Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the system unless specifically
instructed to in this manual and you have the understanding, tools, and skills necessary to
carry out the procedure.
Packing materials can be dangerous to children. Keep all packing material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, boxes, etc.) ell out of children’s reach.
Individual components of this ater treatment system, and the installed system, are heavy.
Precautions should be taken to prevent personal injury or strain. Do not move heavy
components ithout assistance if you are not physically capable of safely carrying out the
procedure.
If the ater treatment system is to be left unattended for an extended period of time
(vacation, etc.), e strongly recommend that you turn off the ater supply to the system, or
the hole house, hile you are a ay.
If your ater pipes are metal (galvanized or copper), they may be used to ground electrical
systems, appliances, or your phone line. If this is the case, be sure to install regulation
ground clamps to the metal pipe on each side of the control valve and connect a jumper
ire bet een the 2 clamps (#4 gauge solid copper ire recommended). Consult a certified
electrician or plumber if you are unsure.

OPERATING CONDITIONS
The follo ing chart provides guidance on the conditions required for successful operation of
your TITAN-Ox™ system.
Dissolved iron and manganese have a significant negative impact on the life of the Titanium
dioxide treatment media used in the TITAN-Ox™ system. Pre-treatment to remove iron is
strongly recommended here iron levels exceed 0.3 ppm (mg/l), and/or if manganese levels
exceed 0.05 ppm (mg/l), and may be desirable to extend media life even here the iron and
manganese in your ra ater do not exceed these levels. Media life and performance is
significantly reduced hen the pH exceeds 8.3. If pH exceeds this level, pH correction
should be undertaken prior to the TITAN-Ox™ system. Elevated levels of silica and/or sulfate
may reduce media life depending on other ater chemistry conditions (particularly if the
ater is soft). Pre-filtration to remove sediment and particulates ill reduce required
back ash frequency.
USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE OF THESE OPERATING CONDITIONS MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SYSTEM, RESULT IN SYSTEM
DAMAGE INCLUDING WATER LEAKS AND CORRESPONDING PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND
MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

INSTALLATION
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING THE
ACTUAL INSTALLATION. WHILE WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED
PLUMBER PERFORM ALL INSTALLATION WORK, A MECHANICALLY-INCLINED
HOMEOWNER WITH SUITABLE PLUMBING KNOWLEDGE CAN INSTALL THIS SYSTEM.
IN ALL CASES, IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE INSTALLATION BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL APPLICABLE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL
CODES. BE SURE TO OBTAIN ALL REQUIRED PERMITS. IF THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
THE APPLICABLE CODES ARE IN CONFLICT, THE RELEVANT PLUMBING/ELECTRICAL
CODE SHALL BE FOLLOWED. EQUIPMENT FAILURE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE CAN RESULT IF THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
S ep 1. – Pre-Ins alla ion Inspec ion
Inspect all of the components that you received
ith your unit. You should have received the
follo ing:
1. Fleck 5810 SXT Control Valve
2. Media Tank
3. Upper Screen
4. Bypass Assembly / Bypass
Valve and 1” NPT Connector
Yokes (2) ith Flo Restrictor
Attached to Outlet
5. Riser Tube and Lo er Distributor
6. Bag or Box of Gravel
7. Bag(s) or Box(es) of MetSorb Media
8. Funnel
9. Drain Line Flo Control - DLFC
(attached to #1)

8
S ep 2. – Selec ing an Ins alla ion Loca ion
While exterior installation in arm climate areas is possible, e strongly recommend interior
installation only. The system cannot be allo ed to freeze or severe system damage could
occur. The system should not be exposed to rain and it should not be installed in direct
sunlight, as long-term exposure to UV light could damage components of the system.
Furthermore, direct sunlight could raise the internal ater temperature in the treatment tank
and reduce back ash effectiveness.
In most cases, the system should be located AFTER your ater pump and pressure tank(s)
and BEFORE all other ater treatment equipment and your hot ater heater.
IF YOU HAVE OTHER WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD DISCUSS THE
ORDER OF YOUR TREATMENT EQUIPMENT WITH YOUR DEALER PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION.
Select a location for installation of your ater filter that is ithin close proximity to the main
incoming ater line of the home. The location should have a firm, level surface ith enough
space for the unit itself and sufficient space surrounding the unit to facilitate maintenance.
WHILE WATER LEAKS ARE VERY RARE AND UNEXPECTED, YOUR WATER FILTER
SYSTEM SHOULD BE LOCATED NEXT TO A FLOOR DRAIN OR PROTECTED BY A WATER
LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF VALVE TO PREVENT WATER
DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A WATER LEAK.
RECOMMENDED WATER LEAK DETECTION SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE AT WWW.A-LEAK-
DETECTOR.COM.
You ill also require a suitable drain to discharge aste ater from the back ash cycle. A
drain standpipe for a ashing machine, floor drain, or sump pump are excellent drain
options. We recommend that the drain line be connected to a minimum 1½" drain
standpipe or floor drain located ideally belo the top of the head of your ater filter. If
possible, the drain should be no farther than 20 feet from the system.

9
NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THE DRAIN LINE DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN PIPE. ALLOW AN AIR
GAP BETWEEN THE DRAIN TUBING AND WASTE LINE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY
OF BACK-SIPHONING. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USE OF A CHECK VALVE AS IT MAY
BECOME CLOGGED WITH CONTAMINANTS EJECTED FROM THE SYSTEM DURING
BACKWASH.
You ill also need access to a standard, non-s itched, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical
outlet. An extension cord may be used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. If this option is
used, ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified and of an appropriate ire gauge
for the application.
S ep 3. – Prepare Trea men Tank
T o types of media are supplied ith your TITAN-Ox™ system: gravel hich forms the base
layer (underbedding) in your treatment tank, and a specialized arsenic and heavy metal
reduction media called MetSorb.
Place the tank in the location here it ill sit hen the installation is complete. Note that the
black base of your tank is not permanently attached to the rest of the tank. If your tank
appears to be crooked, the base has likely been knocked out of alignment during shipping.
This can be correct by picking the tank up and tapping it on a hard surface hile holding it
perpendicular to the floor. A fe light taps ill generally straighten it out.
Temporarily remove the distributor and riser tube assembly from the treatment tank. Hand
tighten the Fleck 5810SXT control valve on the tank and mark here the front of the tank ill
be. Turn the tank so that the front of the tank is here you ant it hen it is full – once it is
full of media and ater, it becomes very heavy and difficult to move!
Remove the control valve and re-insert the distributor and riser tube assembly into the tank.
The distributor, hich looks like a cone-shaped plastic screen, is pre-connected to the end of
the long plastic riser tube hich extends from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank
here the control valve is attached. At the bottom of the tank, there is a recess in the center
of the tank to accept the distributor to keep it properly aligned. The riser tube has been pre-
cut to the correct height for you. When the distributor is correctly positioned, the top of the
riser tube ill be approximately 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch belo the top of the tank. If the tube is

10
flush or protruding above the top of the tank, the distributor tube is not nested correctly in the
recess at the bottom of the tank.
Add enough ater to the tank to cover the lo er distributor ith a minimum of 6 inches of
ater. This ill prevent damage to the lo er distributor as gravel is loaded. Place the funnel
into the tank so that the riser tube is in the middle. Place tape over the open end of the riser
tube. This ill prevent gravel or media from accidentally going do n the tube during the
follo ing steps.
For the follo ing steps, e recommend that you ear a dust mask. Take the bag/box of
gravel and, using a small scoop, add the gravel to the tank through the funnel to completely
cover the lo er distributor. Use all of the gravel. Be sure to provide some do n ard
pressure on the riser tube hile adding the gravel to ensure that the distributor does not shift
out of its recess or rise up. Ensure that you create an even layer of gravel across the bottom
of the tank. A rigid piece of thin all tubing (conduit, copper pipe, etc.), approximately 1”
longer than the tank height orks ell as a leveling tool if you need it. Ensure that the riser
tube remains centered in the opening at the top of the tank.
Once this is complete, add the MetSorb media in the same manner. Use all of the media
provided. Depending on the capacity of the system, there ill only be enough media to fill

11
the tank to about 1/2 to 3/4 full. This is normal. The media tank should never be filled to the
top of the tank as the remaining space, kno n as the “freeboard,” is necessary for the media
to have room to expand during the back ash cycle.
Once you have finished adding the media to the tank, remove the tape from the distributor
tube. Be careful not to pull up ards on the riser tube hile doing this as it is important that
the distributor remain in its recess at the bottom of the tank.
Fill the media tank ith ater up to ithin a couple of inches of the top of the tank. This ill
allo the media to pre-soak, thereby preventing media loss during the initial back ash.
DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS
AFTER ADDING THE WATER TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING. BACKWASHING
BEFORE THE MEDIA IS SATURATED MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF MEDIA AND POTENTIAL
DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL VALVE.
Attach the upper screen to the underside of the control valve. Be sure to t ist clock ise and
lock it into place.
Apply a small amount of lubricant to the top inch of the
outside of the riser tube and to the tank o-ring seal.
No e: Only use food-grade silicone lubrican . A small
bag of lubrican is provided in he small par s bag.
Do NOT use pe roleum jelly.
The control valve can no be secured to the top of
the tank. Before attaching the valve, check to make
sure that there is no debris such as gravel or media in
the tank threads. Scre the control valve onto the
tank. Make sure that the riser tube inserts into the center
hole in the upper screen and the control valve as you
scre do n the valve. The control valve should be hand-
tightened (clock ise). Do NOT use the control valve's
timer assembly for leverage and do not use tools. A firm
grasp ith both hands at the base of the valve ill ork.

12
Do NOT use pipe cement (“pipe dope”) or Teflon® tape on the threads.
S ep 4. – Turn off he Wa er & Elec ric Wa er Hea ers
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS, PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN YOUR WATER HEATER.
If you have a conventional electric ater heater or an on-demand (tankless) electric ater
heater, e highly recommend that you turn off the po er to the heater hile installing any
ater treatment equipment. Turn off po er to your ater heater no .
Turn off the household main ater shutoff valve. Open several plumbing fixtures inside the
home as ell as the outside faucets to drain as much ater out of the plumbing system as
possible.
Follo ing completion of the entire installation, restore the ater flo by turning on the
household main ater valve and allo all air to be purged from the plumbing system before
turning the po er back on to your ater heater.
S ep 5. – Prepare and Ins all Inle and Ou le Plumbing Connec ions
IF YOU WISH TO USE COPPER PIPING FOR YOUR INSTALLATION AND WILL BE
SOLDERING THE JOINTS, DO NOT APPLY HEAT NEAR YOUR CONTROL VALVE, BYPASS
ASSEMBLY, 1” NPT CONNECTOR YOKES, OR THE DRAIN FITTINGS; OTHERWISE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THESE PARTS COULD OCCUR. ALWAYS SOLDER JOINTS WITH
THESE COMPONENTS DETACHED. IF YOU ARE USING COPPER ADAPTERS TO
CONNECT TO THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR YOKES, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU
SOLDER A 6 INCH PIECE OF COPPER PIPE INTO EACH OF THE CONNECTION
ADAPTERS AWAY FROM THE VALVE, THEN LET THEM COOL OFF BEFORE THREADING
THEM ONTO THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR YOKES.

13
Key Con rol Valve Componen s:
1. Control Valve Body
2. Bypass Valve
3. 1” NPT (Male) Connector Yokes
4. Drain Line Flo Control (DLFC)
5. Valve Cover
6. DLFC Retention Clip
7. Flo Restrictor
The system’s control valve is connected to
your incoming and outgoing ater lines by
ay of a bypass assembly ith 1”NPT threaded
fittings. This assembly is composed of the
bypass valve and t o 1”NPT connector yokes.
TEFLON® TAPE IS THE ONLY SEALANT TO BE USED ON THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR
YOKES AND DRAIN FITTINGS.
Locate the inlet and outlet ports on the back of the control valve. Note that the inlet and
outlet are marked ith arro s indicating the correct direction of ater flo . When you are
looking at the back of the control valve, the inlet is on the left and the outlet is on the right.
Check the corresponding markings on the bypass to ensure the correct direction of ater
flo and attach the bypass valve to the control valve. The in and out arro s on the bypass
should be pointing the same direction as the in and out arro s on the outside of the control
valve.
BE VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE YOU PLUMB THE SYSTEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
The bypass assembly is secured to the control valve using threaded fittings. Thread sealant
tape should not be used on these threads. The seal is made by ay of o-rings. To attach
the bypass to the control valve, simply thread the 2 nuts on the bypass onto the valve until
the nuts bottom out on the valve body. Do not overtighten - it is normal for some “play” to
exist hen the bypass assembly is properly seated. This allo s for minor misalignment of
the piping connections and relieves stress on the valve. The 1” NPT connector yokes are

14
connected to the bypass in the same manner (they are normally shipped to you pre-
connected to the bypass, but you can separate them to make the plumbing to your main
ater lines easier if you ant).
You ill need to purchase the appropriate NPT threaded fittings to connect the connector
yokes to the material and size of your main inlet and outlet ater lines.
Plumb your main incoming and outgoing ater lines using suitable pipe, fittings, elbo s, etc.
as necessary to create a tidy, secure installation up to the back of the bypass valve
(including the correct connection adapters to mate ith the threaded fittings on the bypass
assembly’s connection yokes. Be sure to follo all local plumbing codes.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REMOVE THE BYPASS ASSEMBLY FROM THE
CONTROL VALVE BEFORE MAKING THESE FINAL CONNECTIONS AS YOU MAY
INADVERTENTLY APPLY TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE VALVE WHILE SECURING THE
ADAPTERS, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVE BODY.
Place the bypass in the “bypass” position as pictured:

15
S ep 6. – Drain Line Ins alla ion
NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THE DRAIN LINE DIRECTLY INTO A DRAIN. ALLOW AN AIR-GAP
OF A MINIMUM OF 1 INCH (CHECK LOCAL CODES) BETWEEN THE DRAIN LINE AND
WASTE LINE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF BACK-SIPHONING. ALWAYS FOLLOW
LOCAL CODES. THE DRAIN LINE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING
TEMPERATURES.
During the back ash cycle, your TITAN-Ox™ ill send captured contaminants out the drain
port. This port needs to be connected to a suitable household drain, ideally ithin 20 feet of
your media tank. A nearby floor drain, sump pump, or a standpipe for a ashing machine is
an excellent option. We recommend that the drain line be connected to a minimum 1 1/2"
drain standpipe or floor drain located ideally belo the top of the head of your ater filter.
Locate the drain port on the back of your control valve. The drain line flo control assembly
(DLFC) is pre-attached to the control valve. For back ash flo rates of 7 GPM or less, the
DLFC ill be a black plastic elbo housing ith 3/4 inch male NPT threads. This housing
contains a flo control asher that limits the back ash flo rate. For back ash flo rates
exceeding 7 GPM, the DLFC ill be a black plastic straight housing ith 1 inch male NPT
threads.
You ill need to purchase suitable pipe or tubing for the drain line, either in 3/4 or 1 inch
diameter, to match the connection points on the drain line flo control assembly (DLFC). To
determine your MINIMUM drain line diameter, look up your model and incoming ater
temperature using the chart belo . If in doub , ma ch he size of your drain line o he
hread size of he DLFC on your con rol valve.

16
MINIMUM Drain Line Diame er:
Model 40F Wa er Temp 70F Wa er Temp
TOx-5810SXT-10-54 1/2" 1/2"
TOx-5810SXT-12-52 1/2" 3/4"
TOx-5810SXT-13-54 3/4" 3/4"
TOx-5810SXT-14-65 3/4" 3/4"
Polyethylene tubing, PEX, PVC, CPVC, and copper pipe are all acceptable material choices
for the drain line. If you are using flexible tubing, be sure that there are no “kinks” or “crimps”
in the tubing after installation that may cause a flo restriction. If used, overhead drain lines
are not to exceed a height of 5 feet above the control valve and should be not more than 50
feet in length. Should an overhead drain line be utilized, it is recommended that the drain
line be increased in size (diameter), and that it not be fastened flush to the bottom of a floor
joist to minimize noise transfer to the upstairs of the building during regeneration.
Using an appropriate fitting, connect the drain line flo control to your drain line tubing/pipe.
The DLFC can be removed from the control valve to facilitate easier plumbing if desired. To
remove the drain line flo control, pull on the retaining clip to remove it and then grasp the
drain line flo control and pull out ard. You may ish to dry-fit the fitting first to make sure
you line up the drain line properly ith the drain port on the control valve if you are using
rigid pipe.
Re-insert the DLFC into the control valve and securely lock into place ith the retaining clip
hen done.
Ensure that the drain line is thoroughly secured along its route to the drain. The drain line
ill be under pressure hen the back ash cycle is orking. If not adequately secured, the
drain line could vibrate during back ash causing excessive noise. If this is experienced, use
additional fixtures to better secure the drain line.
S ep 7 – Con rol Valve Se -up
During cold eather, the installer should arm the control valve to room temperature before
operating. Note: All electrical connections must be done according to local codes.

17
Plug the control valve into a standard, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. Be certain
that the outlet is uninterrupted and not controlled by a s itch. An extension cord may be
used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified
and of an appropriate ire gauge for the application. Plug the other end of the po er cord
into the electrical port on the control valve.
Note: The electrical port on the control valve is
located on the right side of the valve ( hen you
are facing the control panel), just behind the tab
used to remove the valve cover. It is a bit tricky to
find.
Once plugged in, the digital display on the control
valve ill illuminate. The control valve may need
to reset to the home position hen it is po ered
up. If it does, the motor ill run for a fe seconds.
The digital display should be alternating bet een the current time setting ( hich is probably
incorrect), and the number “10” hich indicates the number of days remaining until the next
back ash cycle. You ill also see the “service” icon hich appears as a small faucet in the
bottom left corner of the display indo .

18
We ill first set the time of day to the correct time. Press either the UP or DOWN button and
hold for a fe seconds. The parameter display ill read “TD” (Time of Day) and the
“programming” mode icon ill appear (4 dots and a pencil). Use the UP and/or DOWN
buttons to change the time displayed to the correct time of day. Once the display sho s the
correct time, press the EXTRA CYCLE button to save your changes.
Your TITAN-Ox™ has been pre-programmed to back ash every 10 days and to perform the
back ash process at 12:30am in the morning hen it is very unlikely that ater ill be
required in the building. If ater is required during the back ash process, untreated ater
ill be permitted to flo to meet your service needs. You may edit the frequency and
duration of the back ash based on your ater conditions. You may also alter the time of
day that the back ash process occurs if 12:30am is not ideal for you. If you have a ater
softener or other automatic back ashing ater treatment systems, make sure that they are
not set to back ash / regenerate at the same time. We recommend that they
back ash/regenerate at least 2 hours apart. Follo the instructions under “User
Programming Mode” to change the frequency or back ash time if desired. If you ant to
change the duration of the back ash or final rinse cycles, these settings must be edited in
the “Master Programming Mode” – see belo for details.
S ep 8 – Ini ial S ar -up and Leak Tes ing
Ensure that the bypass is in the bypass position. Turn on the main ater supply. Open a
cold ater tap nearby and let the ater run for a fe minutes or until the system is free of
foreign material (usually solder) and air that may have resulted from the installation. Once
the ater is running clear and free of air, close the ater tap.
INSPECT YOUR PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL VALVE FOR LEAKS AND
REPAIR ANY LEAKS FOUND BEFORE PROCEEDING.

19
DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS
AFTER ADDING WATER TO THE MEDIA TANK TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING.
BACKWASHING BEFORE THE MEDIA IS SATURATED COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF MEDIA
AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL VALVE.
Once the media has been adequately pre-soaked for 2 hours:
WITH THE BYPASS STILL IN THE BYPASS POSITION, press the EXTRA CYCLE button and
hold it do n for about 5 seconds until you hear the valve change positions, the parameter
display changes to read “BW” (Back ash), and the time starts counting do n. Once the
motor has stopped moving (no more noise), press the EXTRA CYCLE button again to
advance to the next stage of the back ash cycle – “RR” (Rapid Rinse).
Without delay, immediately begin to slo ly open the bypass to the service position, allo ing
ater to flo into the system. Water and air ill begin to flo to the drain line and ill
continue for 3 minutes. At the end of this time, the valve ill re-position and the filter ill
return to normal service mode.
INSPECT YOUR DRAIN LINE PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PROCEEDING. IF THE PLUMBING PIPE RATTLED OR VIBRATED
DURING THIS PROCESS CAUSING EXCESSIVE NOISE, USE ADDITIONAL FASTENERS TO
BETTER SECURE THE DRAIN LINE.
Press the EXTRA CYCLE button and hold it do n for about 5 seconds to engage a full
back ash and rinse cycle. Allo the back ash and rinse to run their full cycles.
When the system returns to service mode, slo ly open a nearby cold ater tap (after the
TITAN-Ox™ system) and let the ater run for 5 to 10 minutes until the system is purged of all
air that may have resulted from the installation, and the ater is running clear. Repeat for
other faucets in the building starting at the highest elevation and orking do n to the lo est
point until all air is purged. The initial flo of ater may be slightly discolored. This is normal
and ill go a ay quickly.
It is no safe to turn the electricity back on to your ater heater.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING
The contaminants removed by this treatment system, including arsenic, uranium, lead and
other heavy metals are harmful and can cause serious negative health effects. We strongly
recommend a stringent ongoing ater testing program to monitor the performance of your
TITAN-Ox™ system. In the event that contaminant levels exceed U.S. EPA or Health Canada
guidelines, your media may need to be replaced or back ash settings may need to be
altered to improve contaminant reduction (to reduce channeling). Contact your dealer for
advice and assistance.
We have included a basic arsenic monitoring testing kit (5 tests) ith your system. This kit is
ONLY for arsenic testing only. If you are monitoring other contaminants, you ill need an
alternate test kit or to use a certified ater testing laboratory. Follo the test kit
manufacturer’s instructions very carefully to ensure accurate results. We recommend the
follo ing testing schedule follo ing installation:
Test 1: ithin 24 hours of installation
Test 2: 25 days after installation
Test 3: 50 days after installation
Test at least every 2 to 3 months thereafter. Increase your testing frequency to monthly if
contaminant levels begin to approach the maximum levels permitted by the U.S. EPA or
Health Canada. We s rongly recommend ha he firs wa er es af er ins alla ion, and a
leas one es annually hereaf er, be performed by a cer ified wa er es ing lab.
