Filtration Media Loading
Media filtration systems supplied by Blake Water Solutions are shipped without the media preloaded.
Aeration/Oxidation filtration media selected for Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulfide removal or (other conditions your equipment
supplier has identified) are dependent on many factors and are carefully selected and applied based on reported water conditions at
the time of testing. Variables such as pH changes, changes in mineral concentration, unreported water contaminants as well as
increased flow and usage rates may affect the performance of this system.
1. With the bypass valve in the bypass position disconnect the control valve from the bypass valve and remove the control valve
from the mineral tank. Care should be exercised to avoid damage to the distribution tube and screen while loading the selected
media for the application.
2. Plug the open end of the riser tube to ensure that no filtration media or gravel falls down into the riser tube. The riser tube should
be firmly seated and centered in the tank and should be flush with the top of the tank opening (or tank top bushing if required).
Underbed support gravel if required should be pre-rinsed to remove fines and grit which could clog the screens and then carefully
loaded covering the distributor basket. Adding a sufficient amount of water (approximately 6” above the distributor) to the vessel
prior to adding the gravel will minimize the potential for damage and help to level the support bed.
3. Next load the required amount of media selected for the application. Again, adding additional water to the vessel will assist in
loading by minimizing dust and optimize leveling.
4. Unplug the riser tube, carefully position the valve over it and turn the valve into the threads in the fiberglass tank, tightening
securely into tank and secure to the existing piping bypass.
Note: Ensure that the internal O-ring in the valve fits securely over the riser tube.
Silicone lubricant should be applied to the O-ring to ease installation of the riser tube.
DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants as they will cause swelling of O-ring seals.
The bypass valve supplied with the equipment should still be in the bypass position and the filter tank can now be completely filled
with water by depressing REGEN on the control valve to initiate backwash and slowly opening the bypass to fill the tank with water
and purge any air. Once filled and purged of air the bypass should be returned to the bypass position. The valve controller can now
be cycled back to the service position. This step will allow the media to absorb water and will reduce the chance of backwashing
media out of the tank during the initial backwash on final start-up. Once the media is sufficiently hydrated the system regeneration
cycle should be initiated and the bypass valve slowly opened as the valve cycles into backwash. The backwash cycle should
continue unit the water runs clear. The valve can now be cycled to service and the bypass valve opened allowing treated water to
enter the household piping.
Caution: most Medias including, but not limited to, Carbon, Filter Ag, and Chemsorb require hydration prior to being put
into service as they are shipped dry. A minimum of 4 hours presoak, but preferably overnight saturation is recommended to
condition any newly installed media for service.
