Eradicator II AIF Systems Installation, Operation,and
Maintenance Manual
4. Before connecting the water lines:
A. Turn off the electric or gas to the water heater.
B. Turn off the main water supply to the building, an drain
off the pressure to all cold water outlets.
C. Determine which outlets are to be bypassed and make
provisions to connect them before the AIF system.
D. It is highly recommended to provide an inlet shut off
valve near the unit.
E. The inlet water line should be a minimum of 3/4” in size.
If yours is smaller, consult your dealer for required
adjustments.
5. With the above considerations, connect the water line to the
inlet of the unit, which is designated by an arrow on the bypass
pointing toward the control valve.
6. Connect the outlet which is designated by an arrow pointing
away from the control valve to the water line that feeds the
softener, or back to the main if a softener is not being used.
7. If the plumbing system is metal pipe (ex. – copper), install a
jumper ground wire and grounding clamps between the inlet
and outlet pipes to retain continuity of the plumbing.
8. Connect the drain on the AIF system to an approved air gap
drain. When using the 5/8” poly tubing for the drain line, con -
nect the nut to the line as illustrated in figure 1. If copper line
is used, be sure to pre-sweat and cool pipe & fittings before
attaching to the drain fitting on the valve.
Turning on the water:
1. With all plumbing connections made, make sure the bypass
is in the “bypass” position. (See figure 3). Slowly turn on the
water supply valve until lines are pressurized. At nearby fau -
cet, turn on cold water and let it run for 2 – 3 minutes to flush
debris from the plumbing. Check for water leaks, repair any
leaks immediately before proceeding.
2. After confirming no leaks, and flushing the lines, proceed to
the Start Up instructions on page 11.

Installation
The drain line on the AIF system must be secure
at all points along the length of the drain run. The
drain line will jolt when the air is released during
the cycle. You must test the drain line security
before leaving any installation site.
Caution:
Make sure all plumbing connections
are completed before turning on water.
Check for and repair any leaks before
proceeding with start up of system.
