Now that the US Water Pond and Surface Water Treatment system has been installed here are a few things to ex-

pect;

 

 

1.

 

The system will produce iron, sulfur and bacteria free water immediately after installation.  Depending on the 

raw water quality there may be contaminants built up in the water heater, plumbing system and other devices.  

Over the first few weeks as water is used there could be traces of this build up that are being removed by the 

newly installed system.  This typically clears up after a couple weeks.

 

2.

 

Depending on the contaminants being removed there may be iron bacteria or sulfur reducing bacteria in the 

plumbing system prior to the new treatment system install.  This bacteria can potentially survive after the instal-

lation.  This is usually indicated by a sulfur smell that will appear after a few weeks of initial usage.  If this is the 

case, the well and entire plumbing system will need to be chlorinated to remove any existing bacteria.  If the 

bacteria is not removed, it will begin to 

grow

” 

backwards toward the treatment system and the sulfur smell will 

not go away.  If this does occur, it is easily eradicated with a chlorination procedure.

 

3.

 

The chlorine sample reading may be indicate an overfeeding of the chemical a few weeks after installation.  

This occurs because after installation the water will become cleaner and the initial dosage of chlorine may need 

to be adjusted to compensate for the lower contaminant level once the build up is removed.  

 

 

Routine Maintenance

 

 

Pressure Tank

 

If your plumbing system uses a bladder pressure tank it will be in the system prior to the Fusion Liquid Chlorination 

system.  This tank should be drained periodically to remove build up of contaminants.  Typically once a quarter is 

sufficient but that frequency may need to be increased on systems with high contaminant levels.

 

 

Injection Panel

 

 

Solution Tank

 

Periodically stir the solution tank and be sure the chlorine solution is mixed and concentrated.

 

 

Pump Tube

 

The internal pump tube may need to be replaced periodically.  They typically last 1

-

5 years depending on the us-

age.  There is a spare tube shipped with the system and instructional videos explaining how to change the tube at 

www.USWaterSystems.com.

 

 

Check Valve

 

Remove the check valve and replace the duck bill if needed.  Remove crystals from the check valve and pipe.

 

 

Retention Tank(s)

 

Periodically drain the retention tank to remove the accumulated solids and sludge.  

 

 

Carbon Filter

 

The carbon filter is virtually maintenance free.  However, if there is a power outage the clock and other settings 

need to be checked to ensure the filter will backwash properly at the proper time of day.  It is crucial that the carbon 

filter backwashes at a time when there is no water being used in the house.  Periodically check the drain flow.
