As in all water storage vessels and plumbing products, bacteria can grow especially during extended times of non-use. Consult your local plumbing and or treatment professional regarding any steps you may take to safely disinfect your home s plumbing system. READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE AND TO ENSURE SAFE USE AND PROPER CARE OF THIS PRODUCT A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL MUST INSTALL THIS PRODUCT. 2

3 2. CHECKLIST The system utilizes high-pressure water and air to transform hydrogen sulfide into water and elemental sulfur. This solid collects on on top of the backwash filter media to be periodically purged. This process requires the sulfur bearing water to contact the media, which on some supplies can cause deposits and bacteria to collect on the media and cause the media to foul. A solution to air feeder is included with the system so peroxide or 1% chlorine solution can be proportionally added to prevent fouling. Using the chart below, ensure the system you select is properly sized for the job, with the additional filter diameter(s) when required. This sizing chart is for average households with typical water use patterns. Use the OP40U5F or OP40B5F for 5-9 GPM treated water applications, the OP80U10F or OP80B10F for GPM treated water applications, and use the OP120U15F or OP120B15F for GPM treated applications. Standard systems can supply 30 GPM raw-water with a raw bypass option. The well pump must be able to supply a minimum of 5, 10 or 15 gallons per minute respectively to the system at a pressure of at least 80 PSI to not use a booster pump.

5 4.A PLUMBING THE SYSTEM (without a pressure booster) In order for the well pump to be eligible to drive the oxidation process through the Inductor on the standard system, the well pump must be able to supply a minimum of 5 gallons per minute to the system at a pressure of at least 80 PSI. If the pump is not capable of maintaining that pressure then use the booster pump which will also provide better pressure to the home. Sulfur concentrations over 10-ppm sulfide must have a minimum 90 PSI. Pressure on the well line from the well pump to the Inductor inlet may exceed 80 PSI. If you are using your own pressure booster, follow the directions under section 4.B PLUMBING THE SYSTEM WITH BOOSTER PUMP on page 7 substituting your own pump and pressure switch. Make certain that the pump performance curve is adequate before selecting any other pressure-boosting pump. If you need raw water for irrigation from the same well and are using the well pump without a booster pump, use the Raw Water Bypass option. Locate near drain adequate for the pressure relief or the momentary purge of sulfur compounds, which are trapped in the sump. The system should be installed in a dry location that provides adequate space for installation and service. As components age leaks may occur, therefore, do not locate in an area where water from the tank can cause property damage. Do not treat water over 100 F. Do not expose the system to temperatures below freezing as water freezing in the tank or components will break them. OXIDIZER PRESSURE TANK SYSTEM INSTALLATION DIAGRAM 5

6 4.A PLUMBING THE SYSTEM (without a pressure booster)(continued) 1 Position the Oxidation Tank as close to the well pump discharge as is practical using the Tank as the pressure tank for controlling the well pump. Also locate near the existing pressure switch so the control line can be as short as possible. See the installation diagram previous page. 2 Assemble the Air Inductor assembly as shown. Orient the pressure gauges so they can be read, but hand tight only. Inlet pressure gauge seals against an O-ring, however the system pressure gauge requires Teflon tape to seal. Install the Air Filter finger tight only as it may be removed later. Secure all unions hand tight. 3 Glue the outlet port of the Air Inductor to the Tank inlet. 4 Plumb the inlet of the Air Inductor to the well pump discharge line. Do not reduce or restrict the well line. Note: If you are using the raw water bypass option, plumb an elbow at the tank drain front and glue to the optional union check with the arrow towards the well pump. Tee the check outlet to the well line at the Inductor inlet as shown previous page in the raw water bypass diagram. 5 Install a drain valve on the Tank drain and plumb the drain to the exterior or use a hose. Use the side drain if using the front line for raw water bypass. Cap any unused drain-line. Plumb the relief valve to a suitable drain. Failure to do so can result in flooding and property damage. 6 Remove the existing well pump Square D FSG pressure switch (if installed) and install the new pressure switch spring provided in the kit. This will give the desired pressure differential when adjusted later. Thread the ¼ Ell provided into the port on the pressure switch with Teflon tape finger tight. Loosen the compression nut then press one end of the ¼ tubing provided into the fitting so that the tubing is past the seal, then secure the nut finger tight. Plug the vacated switch connection. 7 Wire the pressure switch per local code. Secure the switch to the plumbing at a convenient location using the two switch clamps provided. The clamps attach to the switch from the bottom through the ground lug taps. Secure the ground to the new lugs the clamps provided. 8 Press the other end of the pressure control line from the pressure switch onto the control line fitting on top of the Air Inductor outlet. 9 Connect the vent line at the base to 3/8 polyethylene tubing (not provided) and run the length of tubing to the exterior. Air released from this line is humid and may corrode metal in the vicinity. Should the vent valve malfunction, water can spray from the line. Plumb the vent line to the exterior or to a suitable drain. 10 Plumb the outlet of the Tank with a ball valve to the treated line to the catalytic Backwash Filter inlet. 11 Plumb the catalytic Backwash Filter per the instructions provided with the filter. 12 Plumb the backwash drain-line. The drain should be suitable for the 5-7 GPM the filter requires. 13 Set up the Solution to Air Feeder as shown in the diagram and follow the installation instructions in the manual provided with the Feeder. 6

7 4.B PLUMBING THE PRESSURE BOOSTED SYSTEM Locate near drain adequate for: The pressure relief and to drain the vessel. This system should be installed in a dry location that provides adequate space for installation and service. As components age leaks may occur, do not locate in an area where water from the tank can cause property damage. If installed outdoors in temperate regions, avoid roof drip edges that can concentrate rain fall onto the pump motor, or areas that flood and may submerge the motor. Any water treatment or handling equipment installed upstream must be vacuum resistant or vacuum protected in the event of a supply failure. Water pressure from the well must be from PSI. The flow rate must always be greater than 5 GPM. An interruption of the water supply can result in heat damage and potential failure and leaking at the booster pump. To reduce this risk, your product includes a temperature-sensing switch that is designed to turn off if the pump is over-heated. Do not alter or remove this sensor. Electrocution and explosion hazard! Before working on this product, turn off the power to the pump and release the pressure in the system. Never install two pumps that draw in parallel on the same suction line or artesian well line. One pump will cause the other to become vapor locked and not perform properly or over-heat. Do not allow partially cured glue or other plumbing debris to enter the booster pump or Inductor at start-up. Always flush lines. Do not over-tighten fittings. Plastic treaded fittings should be snug; unions should be hand tight only. Make certain the pump performance curve is adequate before selecting any other pressure-boosting pump. Wire the pressure booster to the pressure switch as indicated by the pump manufacturer in compliance with local codes. To make wiring the booster pump easier, prior to the installation determine the best available electrical source. Then following the instructions 5. Wiring the Pressure Booster: connect with the ½ nut and wire the pressure switch to the booster. Then select the proper voltage wiring per the diagram on the pump motor and replace the motor connection access plate. This is much easier to do on a bench than on the floor. 7

8 4.B PLUMBING THE PRESSURE BOOSTED SYSTEM (CONTINUED) 1 Position the Oxidizer Tank and Booster Pump as shown previous page. The system must be plumbed in after the well pump pressure tank and any raw waterline must tee into the line ahead of the Pump inlet. 2 Assemble the Air Inductor assembly as shown. Orient the pressure gauges so they can be read, but hand tight only. Inlet pressure gauge seals against an O- ring, however the system pressure gauge requires Teflon tape to seal. Install the Air Filter finger tight only as it may be removed later in the installation. Secure all union connections hand tight. 3 Glue the outlet port of the Air Inductor to the inlet of the Tank. If you are feeding solution with a chemical pump, plumb a tee in the line between the Air Inductor and the Tank inlet for the injector. Avoid feeding chemicals ahead of the Air Inductor, as it may lead to scaling and sacrifice the performance of the air Induction. 4 Make a pump discharge fitting as shown with a 1 union. Thread the fitting into the end or discharge of the Booster Pump as shown. 8

9 4.B PLUMBING THE PRESSURE BOOSTED SYSTEM (CONTINUED) 5 Glue the Air Inductor inlet fitting to the Booster Pump discharge fitting using 1 NPS pipe. If you wish to elevate the Booster or locate the Pump on the inlet side, then you can glue 1 NPS ell(s) to the discharge pipe and set the pump horizontally even at another location within 20 using as few ell as is practical. The control line provided is only 6 long. 6 Plumb the supply line from the well tank to the inlet (top) of the Booster with a union. Make certain that all raw waterlines tee from the supply before the Booster inlet. Set the well pump cutout pressure so that it is lower than the Booster cut-in pressure (55-75 PSI). 7 Install a drain valve on the Tank drain and plumb the drain line to the exterior or adequate drain. Cap the unused drain-line. Plumb the pressure relief discharge to the exterior or an adequate drain. Plumb the relief valve discharge to the exterior or a suitable drain. Failure to do so can result in flooding and property damage. 8 Thread the ¼ Ell provided into the port on the pressure switch with Teflon tape finger tight. Loosen the compression nut then press one end of the ¼ tubing provided into the fitting so that the tubing is past the seal, then secure the nut finger tight. 9 Press the other end of the pressure control line onto the pressure control fitting on top of the Air Inductor outlet. 10 Connect to the vent line 3/8 polyethylene tubing (not provided) and run the length of tubing to the exterior. The air released from this line is humid and may corrode metal in the vicinity. Should the vent valve malfunction water can spray from the line. 11 Plumb the outlet of the Tank with a ball valve to the treated line to the catalytic Backwash Filter inlet. 12 Plumb the catalytic Backwash Filter per the instructions provided with the filter. 13 Plumb the backwash drain-line. The drain should be suitable for the 5-7 GPM the filter requires. 14 Set up the Solution to Air Feeder as shown in the diagram and follow the adjustment instructions in the manual provided with the Feeder. 9

10 5. WIRING THE PRESSURE BOOSTER All wiring and fuse sizing are preliminary recommendations only. For your safety, local codes and in their absence, national codes must be followed to minimize risk of electrical shock, property damage or personal injury. Grounding the pump is essential for your protection and the protection of the motor. All wiring should be completed by a trained electrician and or qualified professional. The voltage of the pump must match the voltage of the power source. The ½ hp booster pump is factory set for 115 Volts. To connect to 230 volts make certain the power source is disconnected then wire to the junction box. Change the motor voltage setting on the booster motor following the wiring diagram located below and on the motor label. The ¾ & larger hp booster pumps are factory preset for 230 volts. The power leads should be large enough to carry the rated amperage. 1 Remove the plastic cover from the pressure switch and the lock nut from the ½ connector to the motor. Place the switch on the connector secured to the motor and secure the switch horizontally with the lock nut. Remove the electrical access plate from the back of the motor. 2 Pass the two pressure switch wires through the connector as shown. 3 Attach one of the pressure switch wire leads to the Line # 1 push-on tab and then attach the other lead to the Line # 4 push-on tab on the motor terminal board. If changing the voltage move the other wires as indicated in the diagram below. Replace the motor access plate when wiring is complete. 4 Now wire the pressure switch placing the ground on the ground lug first then placing the lines or the line and common on the two outside lugs. Connect the wiring at the electrical source. Replace the cover when wiring is complete. Secure the wires with the lug nuts firmly as loose lugs cause arcing and subsequent heat damage and failure. 10

11 1 After completing the plumbing remove the inlet union nut to the Air Inductor or to the booster pump and separate the line so the line can be flushed out to a bucket or drain. Turn the well pump on momentarily to flush out any line debris. Then reconnect the union. Line debris can cause the Air Inductor or the booster pump to malfunction, always flush the lines prior to pressurizing. 2 Turn off any drain valves and the Oxidizer Tank outlet valve. Restore power to the well pump and pressurize the system. You will hear water rush through into the Tank and later hear air venting from the vent valve until water reaches the set level. If using a booster pump: Immediately turn on power to the pressure booster. After the system is pressurized check for leaks. Often some vibration will occur in the Air Inductor. This will diminish in an hour and completely disappear in days as air from the installation trapped in the bypass damper is adsorbed. 6. STARTUP & ADJUSTMENT 3 Adjust the pressure switch to the desired pressure PSI. It may be necessary to cycle the pump several times to achieve the proper setting. While filling the Tank and at cut-in the inlet pressure will be around 42 PSI greater. The inlet pressure on the Air Inductor must be at least 20 PSI greater than the cut-out pressure setting on the Oxidizer Tank. The Air Inductor must draw air through the entire pump cycle. Air induction must be constant for thorough treatment. Check at this time that air is drawn when the system pump runs. Run the Oxidation Tank pressure as high as possible while still inducting air gives a longer pump cycle and higher oxygen levels for treatment. Never exceed the working pressure rating on the Tank. Higher pressure than rated can damage the unit; void the warrantee and cause flooding damage. 4 Run water through the backwash filter and rinse the fines from the outlet before pressurizing the home. Do not backwash the filter for 24 hours. The media must hydrate completely to prevent lifting media into the valve during backwash. Non-hydrated media when backwashed, can plug the valve and cause a water stoppage. Program the filter to backwash every third or second day, according to water usage. 5 Set up the Solution to Air Feeder as shown in the diagram and follow the adjustment instructions in the manual provided with the Feeder. 11
