Iron Trapper™ Installation & Start-Up Procedures 

 

Congratulations! 

 

You’ve selected our best-selling 
well water treatment system for 
top performance and economy.   

 

Iron Trapper™ systems reduce 
Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and 
Manganese and are designed to 
provide years of service with 
proper care and maintenance.   

 

Hopefully, this manual will be 
beneficial and provide information 
you need to install, start-up and 
maintain your system.

How it works! 

The Iron Trapper™ utilizes oxygen, 
contained in your water and fresh 
ambient air injected inside the filter 
tank to oxidize Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide 
and Manganese, so they drop out of 
solution to form particles.  These 
particles are trapped by the filter 
media, and are periodically removed 
from the filter during the

 

backwash 

cycle. 
 
Iron Trapper™ systems do not need 
chemicals for 

oxidation

.  However, if 

your water contains bacteria, water 
treatment chemicals may be required 
for 

disinfection

 

 

Proper Well water treatment 

Proper well water treatment is based on 

what’s in your water.  Challenges include 

water hardness, Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide 

(rotten egg odors), sediment, tannins, 

Arsenic, Nitrates, Acidic water (low pH), 

bacteria and other harmful 

microorganisms.  

 

Iron Trapper™ for Iron & 

Hydrogen Sulfide  

(Sulfur Odors) 

 

This unique system removes Iron, 

Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese using 

our AIR DRAW valve for greater oxidation.
