Air check valve
Notice an air check valve is installed on the “air draw”
valve. This will prevent air escaping from the tank.
Drain line installation
Proper installation of the drain line is critical to any Iron and
Sulfur filter’s performance. For best results use rigid ¾” PVC.
If ½” drain line tubing is used, do not extend the tubing
more than fifteen feet.
Never restrict a drain line by combining a filter drain with a
softener drain.
The backwash requirement for the Iron Trapper is 7.5 GPM.
Water test
It is essential to complete a water test, prior to start-up and valve programming.
Check the following parameters:
Hardness
pH
Iron (well water)
Hydrogen Sulfide (well water)
Manganese (if common in the area)
System placement
1.
Locate main water line and determine where to place the unit (near power outlet and location
for the drain).
2.
Install system on main water line before the water heater.
Be sure the by-pass is closed. If a filter is to be installed, install it before the softener.
-3-
3/4” rigid PVC drain is highly recommended.
