1.4.  

 Use Qualified Technicians

A Licensed Plumber, Electrician, Contractor and/or Certified Water Treatment Specialist may be 

required to install the AIRaider

TM

 System in accordance with the installation instructions. All wiring 

must be performed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA)”National 

Electrical Code, Standard #70”-current edition for all commercial and industrial work. All wiring 

must be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician. Check your Local and State Code and 

Licensing requirements. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to poor system performance and/

or possible system damage.

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

TM

 to work properly. The AIRaider

TM

 System is only effective for 

the removal of  radon and some other VOC’s. The Aeration Process employed by the AIRaider

TM

 

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 VOC’s, other contaminants such as iron or 

manganese must be removed before the water supply enters the AIRaider

TM

 System. Installation of 

a sediment filter is highly recommended as a pre-treatment of the water supply. The filter 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.
