Air mix contact tank with brass air vent
The air mix tank is pre-assembled, except for the air vent.
The air vent is connected to the top of the air-mix tank.
The function of the air vent tank is to allow some contact
time for the oxygen in the air to dissolve into the water and
to bleed off excess air. The air injection allows the
Terminator filter media to remove iron by increasing the
dissolved oxygen content of the water and converting the
iron to a form that can be filtered out by the Terminator
filter media.
Terminator Iron Filter with Fleck 2510
auto-backwash control valve
In your Terminator Iron Filter the water enters the top
of the tank and flows down through the media and
up the distributor tube. The downflow type iron filter
removes iron and sediment. Every few days the Fleck
2510 automatically backwashes and rinses the filter
media, which cleans the media of all rust and sediment
and re-classifies the media preventing channeling.
During backwash, the water flow is reversed and water
flows down the distributor tube and up through the
media, lifting and expanding the filter media.
