1.2. Water Flow Requirements
ThestandardresidentialAIRaider Systemsaredesignedforusewithwaterowsupto20gallons

pumpoutputmustproduceatleast1GPMmorethantheoutputoftheAIRaider(i.e.welloutput=8
GPM;AIRaiderTMoutowseing=7GPM)forpropersystemperformance.Ifthewellpump

*Some AIRaider Systems are not recommended for high ow residential properties. All repressurization systems
(except for the AIRaiderTM EZ95, 433-S50 & 433-S50X) are sold separately. Proper repressurization system
sizing is required to meet water ow needs. Consult manufacturer if assistance is needed for system selection.
1.3. Unpacking and Locating System Components
 1.3.1. UnpackAllSystemComponents

systemdamage.
NOTICE: The Installation must comply with all applicable Local and State Codes and NFPA
National Electrical Code, Standard #70!
1.5. Full Water Test
AfullWaterSampleAnalysismust be performed*todeterminethequalityofthewaterthatrequires
treatment.Inmanywatersupplies,contaminantsotherthanradonarepresentandmayneedtobe
pre-treatedinorderfortheAIRaidertoworkproperly.TheAIRaiderSystemisonlyeectiveforthe
removalofradonandsomeotherVOCs.TheAerationProcessemployedbytheAIRaiderSystemand
otherradonremovalsystemscanworsenproblemsduetoironormanganesecontaminantsinthe
watersupply.
*For optimal removal of radon or other VOCs, other contaminants such as iron or manganese must
be removed before the water supply enters the AIRaider System. Installation of a sediment lter is
highly recommended as a pre-treatment of the water supply. The lter should be routinely cleaned
or replaced.
FAILURE TO REMOVE OTHER CONTAMINANTS INCLUDING SEDIMENT CAN REDUCE
SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS AND MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM DAMAGE , COMPONENT MALFUNCTION,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND PERSONAL INJURY.

2.1. System Location
WhenselectingthelocationfortheAIRaiderTMSystem,vefactorsshouldbeamongthoseconsidered:

2. ElectricalHook-up.Adedicated20Amp,110-120VACcircuitpowersupplyisrequiredfor

andareceptacleforpluggingintheASVpoweradapter.(Figure4)
*Note: The AIRaider must be hardwired to the dedicated circuit.
It must NOT be connected to power with a exible cord with
a 3-prong grounding plug!

2.2. External Re-Pressurization Pump Installation
This section does not apply to Systems with integral pumps (321-S50X, 433-S50 & 433-S50X Systems).

Note: Short horizontal pipe run from system outlet to pump inlet is optimal. If this pump location is impractical because of space constraints the pump may be located
remotely at a higher location, but pump li, pipe diameter, and equivalent pipe length must comply with limits specied in the pump installation instructions.
Do not mount pump lower than shown as removal of the pump for service may result in tank contents siphoning out onto the oor!

Failure to install a proper vent line
may cause contamination of the water,
outgassing of contaminants into the
building, and/or limit system perfor-
mance.
* The Manufacturer has found that vent lines less than 250 equivalent linear feet do not cause a de-
crease in contaminant removal percentages.
90° Bend = 15 Equiv. Linear Ft ; 45° Bend = 7 Equiv. Linear Ft.

2.7.1 Remote Air Intake (Figure 15)
If a Remote Air Intake is required because of Air Quality or Quantity
issues then Use Only 1-¼” or larger Schedule 40 PVC or equivalent pipe
for the air intake line.
1.Connectairintakelinetotheblowerusingtheproperreducer
coupling.
2.Runtheintakelinefromthepipeconnectionontheblowerto

3.ConnecttheAirFiltertotheventlineusingtheproper
reducercoupling.
If the air intake is located outside, the lter or intake must be
mounted high enough o the ground to prevent the drawing in
of snow, water and other contaminants. Do not locate the air
intake in the vicinity of vents from furnaces, barbecue grills, etc.
Note: In-Line Air Filters are also available from the Manufacturer. Figure 15

CAUTION: Do Not Aempt to Adjust the Pressure on 433-S50 or 433-S50X Systems, as this
may result in the pump not shuing down as it aempts to reach too high a set pressure.
This problem may not occur immediately but can occur later when a low voltage supply
occurs due to high electrical demand or other external factors. The factory pressure
seing is deliberately less than maximum to provide an allowance for a low voltage
supply event. Continuous operation of the pump when there is no water demand will overheat
the system causing the thermal overload to trip and consequent pump shut down.
