Eradicator II AIF Systems
Installation, Operation,and
Maintenance Manual
Installation
AIF System Placement
All plumbing must be done in
accordance with local
plumbing codes.
The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are de -
signed to accommodate minor plumbing misalign-
ments but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon
lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon
lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not
necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, includ-
ing silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or
tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench.
If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut
or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or
loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in
slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on
threads. Teflon tape must be used on the threads
of the 1” NPT elbow or the 1/4” NPT connection (for
the Test Port). Teflon tape is not necessary on the
nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
When assembling the installation fitting package
(inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing
system first and then attach the nut, split ring and
o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may
damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints
should be cool and solvent cements should be set
before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid
getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the
o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
Caution:
The Eradicator AIF systems are to be installed before a water
conditioner. This allows the iron and sulfur to be treated before
the softening process. This also protects the water softeners’
performance from being hampered from the iron, or sulfur. A
water softener can normally be installed next to the outlet of
the AIF system. Never route the outside faucets, or an ir -
rigation system, through an AIF Iron or Sulfur system. These
systems are not designed for the volume load of lawn watering,
or other outside uses.
Special Note:
1. Find a location with:
A. Enough room to pull the system away from the
plumbing if necessary.
B. The main inlet water supply or pre-
plumbed connection point.
C. Adequate drain fixture, capable of 5 gallons
per minute flow.
D. An electrical outlet that is not operated by a
switch or timer.
2. Place unit in the desired location. If floor is not level
the unit may be leveled with the built in adjustable
base by lightly tapping the unit on the floor.
3. There should be a minimum of 12’ of water line
between the AIF system connection and the water
heater.
If there is a three way bypass in the existing plumbing, inspect it
to make sure the bypass valve shuts off 100% when closed.
