INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Proper operation of this equipment is dependent on an installation that conforms to the manufacturers instructions and
follows local plumbing and electrical codes. Meeting the following requirements will assure long, reliable product operation.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• Select a heated installation location that has sufcient oor space and headroom to provide access for ease of
installation and servicing. Refer to the Specication Table for dimensional data. Ambient temperature must never
drop below 40 degrees F. to protect from freezing. Maximum water temperature + 110 Degrees F.
• Locate Filter System piping as close as possible to the source of the building water supply. The ideal location is after
the pressure tank and all outside water taps and prior to an existing water softener. Never install between the water
pump and pressure tank or on an intermittent water pressure source.
NOTE: This system is not designed for irrigation purposes.
• A grounded uninterrupted electrical power source (115 volts, 60 Hertz, I Ampere) is required to operate the fully
automatic controls.
• An adequately sized oor drain, dry well or sump pit is required to collect wastewater during recharge of the Filter
System. Refer to Specication Table for Backwash ow rate. The wastewater is harmless but can stain surfaces it
comes in contact with.
• The Control Valve, Bypass and installation ttings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments.
Components are not designed to support the weight of the Filter Vessel or the plumbing system.
• Soldering of plumbing ttings must be performed away from plastic valve components.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Filter System is shipped in multiple cartons. Prior to starting installation, verify that all required components are available.
• One (1) Oxidizer Filter Vessel 16” x 28” (Tank #1), with riser pipe, ll-port plug, plastic cap and control valve.
• One (1) Filter Vessel (Tank #2), with riser pipe, plastic cap and control valve.
• One (1) Bag gravel, 50 Lb. - Labeled Ll for Tank #1.
• One (1) Bag Calcite, 100 Lb. - Labeled L2 for Tank #1.
• One (1) Bag Plastic Bafes, 500 pieces - Labeled L3 for Tank #1.
• One (1) Bag gravel, 20 Lb. - Labeled L1 for Tank #2.
• One (1) Bag coarse garnet, 20 Lb. - Labeled L2 for Tank #2.
• One (1) Bag ne garnet, 32 Lb. - Labeled L3 for Tank # 2.

CAUTION: The two Control Valves provided for these systems are different and must not be interchanged.
The Control Valve used on the Oxidizer Vessel (Tank #1) is easily identied by having an Air Inlet Screen. Air Inlet
Screen is shown on page 12 of this manual.
OXIDIZER VESSEL PREPARATION
1. Remove Oxidizer Filter Vessel from shipping carton. Carefully unscrew the Control Valve mounted on top of the Tank
Set the Valve aside. The Riser Pipe in the Oxidizer Vessel should be 1” above the top of the tank.
2. Place Oxidizer Vessel (Tank #1) at installation location.
3. Plug distributor tube so that no media enters the distributor tube.
4. Pour gravel from bag labeled Ll for Tank #1 into Oxidizer Vessel. A funnel is provided for convenience.
5. Pour Calcite from bag labeled L2 for Tank #1 into Oxidizer Vessel. Remove funnel.
6. Place Plastic Bafes from bag labeled L3 for Tank #1 into Oxidizer Vessel.
7. Wipe dust from threads of Tank Adapter and Riser Pipe. Remove the plastic cap from Riser Pipe opening.
8. Lubricate both O-Rings on the base of the Oxidizer Control Valve. Install the Oxidizer Control Valve into the Mineral Tank
Adapter threads turning clockwise until the control valve is tight.
