About The System
The Flex Oxi - Gen uses the air we breath to naturally reduce the effects of Iron, Manga-
nese and Sulfur Gas. By introducing oxygen to the water, contaminants chemically
change to a physical particle that can be mechanically filtered out of this water. This nat-
ural process called Oxidation, is usually accomplished in other systems by using chemi-
cals such as H2O2 or potassium permanganate. Since the Flex Oxi
- Gen does not use
chemicals to treat the water, maintenance and
chemical byproducts associated with these types of systems is eliminated. The energy re-
quired to operate this system is provided by using extra power that is available in your well
pump to inject free air into the water. There are several normal side effects that may or
may not occur when water is treated in this manner:
1. Cloudy or milky appearance to the treated water.
This side effect is usually more pronounced when the Iron, Manganese or Sulfur Gas
levels are low. Since the Flex Oxi
- Gen uses oxygen for the treatment of these contami-
nants, it can be expected to have some amount left over in the treated water. The higher
the contamination levels are, the less oxygen there will be. It is the oxygen that gives the
cloudy
or milky appearance. Once the faucet is opened and the water is drawn, pressure is re-
leased and allows the oxygen to escape. This usually will take from a few seconds to a
minute depending on the amount of oxygen and the pressure. This noticeable side effect
tells you the system is working properly and also will actually enhance the palatability of
the water. It
’ s oxygen that gives water it ’ s fresh, crisp taste.
2. Sputtering or slight coughing from the hot water side faucets.
This is a normal phenomenon that usually occurs first thing in the morning. As the highly
oxygenated Flex Oxi
- Gen water is exposed to heat in the hot water tank a small amount
of oxygen will separate. The longer the water is allowed to sit in the hot water tank, the
more this will be noticed.
Usually, this will only occur if the hot water is allowed to sit idle for eight (8) hours or more.
Consequently, when hot water is drawn after an extended period of no water use, a slight
sputtering or coughing may be experienced for a few seconds. If this causes the hot water
to splash out of the sink, the problem is reduced by simply turning on the cold water first
and blending in the hot for several seconds. If there is a large amount of free air noticed on
the cold water side, there is a possible malfunction of the system and US Water Systems
should be contacted to service the unit.
