READ THIS PAGE FIRST
XRead this manual thoroughly to become familiar
with the device and its capabilities before installing
or operating your water lter. Failure to follow
instructions in this manual could result in personal
injury or property damage. This manual will also
help you to get the most out of your lter.
XThis system’s installation must comply with all state
or local regulations. Check with your local public
works department for plumbing and sanitation
codes. In the event the codes conict with any
content in this manual the local codes should
be followed. Consult your licensed plumber for
installation of this system.
XThis water lter is designed to operate on pressures
of 30 psi to 125 psi. If the water pressure is higher
than the maximum use a pressure reducing valve in
the water supply line to the lter.
XThis unit is capable of operating at temperatures
between 40°F and 110°F (4°C - 43°C). Do not use
this water lter on hot water supplies.
XDo not install this unit where it may be exposed
to wet weather, direct sunlight, or temperatures
outside of the range specied above.
XAvoid pinched o-rings during installation by
applying (provided with install kit) NSF certied
lubricant to all seals.
XFilters are commonly exposed to high levels of
iron, manganese, sulfur, and sediments. Damage
to pistons, seals, and or spacers within the control
valve are not covered in this warranty due to the
harsh environment.
XIt is recommended to regularly inspect and service
the control valve on an annual basis. Cleaning
and or replacement of piston, seals, and or spacers
may be necessary depending on how harsh the
conditions are. An annual maintenance kit (part#
60010564) is available for this purpose
XDo not use water that is microbiologically unsafe
without adequate disinfection before or after this
system.
XThis publication is based on information available
when approved for printing. Continuing design
renement could cause changes that may not be

HOW DOES THE CHEMICAL FREE
AND AIO IRON FILTER WORK?
This filter works by adding oxygen to the incoming water by
passing it through a bubble of compressed air. The water is
then passed through a special filter bed composed of calcium
carbonate and magnesium oxide with a filter sand bed.
The special media not only increases the pH of the water to enhance iron removal, but also acts as a
physical barrier to trap iron precipitate.
As more water passes through this iron filter, the oxygen in the unit is used up, and the media gets
loaded with iron. The regeneration process then begins in order to replenish the supply of oxygen, and
to backwash the precipitated iron trapped in the media bed.
The iron removal efficiency will be more effective with high pH water.
Replenishment of this media that raises pH will be required periodically, depending on how low the raw
water pH level is, the amount of manganese (Mn) present in the water and usage rate. Over a period of
time, it may become necessary to add more media to the unit. Adding media is necessary only when
water has low pH or manganese is present.
Sulfide problems in surface water sources are much less frequent because of the natural aeration that
occurs in most flowing surface water sources. Aeration is the most common treatment method in terms
of volume of water treated annually because it’s inexpensive, easy to maintain and doesn’t produce
potentially harmful reaction products such as tri-halo-methanes (THMs).
