Problem
Cause
Solution
Iron bleed-through or
staining.
A. Inadequate
backwash of filter
1. Plugged drain line flow control
1. Clean or replace drain line flow control
2. Insufficient water supply from well.
2. Check for minimum specified flow and
pressure requirements of filter system.
3. Plugged aeration tank inlet diffuser or
pick-up tube.
3. (Generally will only plug with the
presence of iron bacteria.) Clean
aeration assembly and shock treat the
water supply with chlorine as needed to
control iron bacteria.
4. Media bed fouled.
4. Rebed filter and correct the cause of
fouling.
B. Fails to regenerate 1. Interrupted electrical service.
1. Assure continuous electrical supply
(check plug, breaker, fuses, etc.).
2. Faulty circuit board.
2. Replace circuit board.
3. Faulty drive motor.
3. Replace drive motor.
4. Circuit board set incorrectly.
4. Reset circuit board.
C. Water contaminant
levels are greater than
limits established by
the manufacturer
1. It is not uncommon for local water
conditions to change.
1. Consult manufacturer.
D. Inadequate
aeration
1. Loss of air through inlet check valve.
1a. Check installation position of
check valve - Consult Installation and
Operation Manual for proper position.
1b. Check for foreign material in seat of
check valve, clean or replace as required.
2. Loss of air through air leak.
2. Check aeration tank assembly and
air recharge line and fittings for any air
leaks and repair
(
Note:
soapy water
solution works well for locating air leaks)
3. Faulty aeration pump.
a. Electrical failure
a. Assure permanent electrical service
(check plug, breaker, fuses, terminal
block on control valve, etc.).
b. Pneumatic failure
b. Check for adequate pressure and
volume production from air pump.
c. Damp environment
c. Clean, repair or replace aeration
pump, ventilate environment or provide
external air source.
4. Air loss through high demand .
4. Increase regeneration frequency of filter.
E. Exceeding
recommended filter
system flow rate.
1. Service flow rate demand is higher
than filter system design flow rate.
1a. Install a flow control at filter system
outlet equal to or less than the design
flow rate of filter system.
1b. Install additional filter(s) or a larger
single filter system which meets both the
service flow demand and backwash flow
requirements available.
