System Specifications
Birm Filter
The birm filter contains media which removes soluble and precipitated iron without the use of chemicals. Periodic backwashing
cleans the bed.
Caution:
These water filters are not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
How The System Works
The chemical free iron filter consists of two major components which are:
1.
An air injector, located between the pump and the pressure tank, adds a small amount of air to the iron-laden water
whenever the well pump runs. Refer to Figs. 1, 2 or 3 for its location.
2.
A backwashing type filter containing a special media that causes the iron in the “Air Charged” water to precipitate throughout
the filter bed (rather than on the surface as in chemical oxidizing filters).
Your filter is factory set to backwash at 1:00 a.m.(can be adjusted as requested by customer) during a period of little or no water
use. The backwash cycle lasts approximately 15 minutes, after which filtered water service is restored. While backwashing is
taking place raw water automatically bypasses the filter if required. If possible, avoid using water during backwashing to prevent
iron-laden water entering your household plumbing system.
This valve is controlled with simple, user-friendly electronics displayed on a LCD screen. The main page displays the current time
and the remaining gallons in meter mode or the remaining days in calendar clock mode.
Peak flow rates are intended for intermittent use only and
are for residential application only.
At the stated service flow rates, the pressure drop through
these devices will not exceed 15 psig.
