Iron Trapper™ Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide & Manganese Filter Installation Overview
General:
When installing a water softener and a filter together, always install the filter first. Be sure to test the water
since you will need this information to properly program the control valve.
Installation procedures
1.
Locate the main water line, and install the unit before the water heater and near
a 110 volt power source.
2.
Install a water check valve on the inlet side of the filter (not supplied).
3.
Determine where the drain is to be located and install the drain using ¾” or 1”
PVC or ½” drain line tubing. If ½” tubing is used do not extend the length past
15 feet, which may restrict the flow.
4.
Close inlet and outlet on the valve.
5.
Program the valve for your specific application (see below).
6.
Put the valve into a manual regeneration to make sure the cycles are functioning
correctly. (Press “regen” to advance to each individual cycle.)
7.
Start-up in
backwash
(with inlet and outlet closed).
8.
Open the inlet slowly. Once water runs to drain, open the inlet fully.
9.
Continue backwash until the drain water runs clear. (This may take some time.)
10.
Advance to the
draw
cycle (to create an air pocket in the filter tank).
11.
The
2
nd
backwash
should be turned “OFF”.
12.
The
rinse
cycle should be turned “OFF”.
13.
For the
refill
cycle, set the salt level at “ZERO” to deactivate this cycle.
14.
When the valve goes into service, open outlet on the valve to supply water to
the house.
