-HYDROXR™ Location / Other Requirements-
• Locate the filter near an unswitched, 120 volt / 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet.
• Check for distance and proper drain installation (e.g. floor drain, washing machine standpipe).
• Determine type and size of piping required for HYDROXR™ connection (e.g. galvanized, PVC plastic).
Note :
If household plumbing is galvanized and you intend to make the installation with copper (or vice versa), obtain
di-electric unions to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Note :
Where the drain line is elevated above the control valve or exceeds 20’ in length to reach the drain, use 3/4" I.D.
drain line tubing instead of 1/2” I.D. Drain line tubing is not included.
Caution :
If sweat soldering copper pipe (remember to always use lead free solder and flux), cover yoke or bypass valve
with wet rags to prevent heat damage to connection and control valve!! If using PVC or plastic pipe, primers
and solvent cements specifically recommended for use with potable water are required.
Note :
All secondary service points (outside hose bibs, etc.) will need to be connected after the HYDROXR™ Filter. Flow
`
and volume requirements for secondary service points must be considered when sizing the system.
-Installation Procedure
Water Supply Connection and Bypass Valve
To allow for HYDROXR™ Filter servicing, a manual bypass valve has been installed
at the factory. The bypass valve allows raw water to be manually routed around the filter.
1. Position HDYROXR™ Tank and Filter Tank at desired location. The HYDROXR™ tank must be installed between the
well pump and pressure tank. The filter tank must be installed after the pressure tank. If a water softener is to be installed,
it should be positioned after the Filter Tank.
2. The filter material is shipped separately from the Filter Tank. The filter media must be loaded after Filter Tank has been
placed at desired location.
A. Remove the control valve by unscrewing from the Filter Tank.
B. Use cap provided to place over distributor tube to prevent media form entering tube while filling.
C. Place media funnel (part # U1006) in hole on top of tank.
D. Pour several gallons of water in the tank.
E. Pour in the required quantity of filter media. No gravel is required.
Note :
The required quantity of media is listed in the filter specifications. If rebedding an existing unit and the system
utilizes a standard tube and basket style distributor, a “D” gravel underbedding will be required.
F. After filling the filter tank with media, fill the tank completely with water.
Note :
This will permit the filtering media to become soaked while preparing the installation and will prevent the control
valve from being plugged with floating material on initial backwash.
G. Remove funnel and clean filer media from tank threads.
H. Remove cap from distributor tube.
I. Replace the control valve on mineral tank. Do not use Teflon tape or paste on valve threads, as the valve
to tank o-ring seals this joint.
Caution :
Verify voltage of well pump and Peroxide Feed Pump!! Connecting Feed Pump to improper voltage source will
void the warranty!
