| Language | English |
System removes iron via aeration, precipitation, and multi-media filtration.
System removes manganese through aeration, precipitation, and multi-media filtration.
System removes hydrogen sulfide using aeration, precipitation, and multi-media filtration.
The first component of the Iron Curtain System, responsible for oxidation.
The second component, a multi-layered filter for removing precipitates.
Water is sprayed through air to convert dissolved elements into particles.
Allows contact time for dissolved elements to form filterable particles.
Utilizes a multi-media bed to trap precipitated particles.
Timer controls the air pump and drain ports for air recharge.
Original systems tested and validated by WQA under S-200 Standard.
System uses no chemicals or salt for water treatment.
Eliminates need for air injectors, venturis, or micronizers.
Influent water pH must be 7.0 or higher for effective iron oxidation.
System rated for max 10 ppm iron; higher levels may affect performance.
Presence of iron bacteria may limit system life and performance; requires control.
Rated for max 10 ppm H2S; levels vary with barometric pressure.
Limit 2.0 ppm; amounts over 2.0 ppm may prevent iron removal. pH > 8.5 optimal.
Tannins > 0.5 ppm void warranty; organics can hinder iron removal.
Chlorine residual should be limited to max 1.0 ppm, preferably 0.5 ppm or less.
TDS > 500 ppm may indicate potential interference with iron reduction.
Minimum 30 psi required for backwash; maximum 70 psi.
Must exceed backwash rate by minimum 30 psi for entire backwash cycle.
Continuous 110 volts required for controls and aeration pump.
Plumbing should be free from lime and iron build-up; replace if heavily affected.
Install tanks after pressure tank and as close as practical.
Minimum 3/4" or equal to connection size; avoid overhead lines if possible.
Install ahead of aeration tank in vertical upflow position with 6" water column.
Always provide for a bypass on the filter system, recommended for both tanks.
Filtered water usually for household lines; outside faucets often raw water.
Adhere to all state and local plumbing and electrical codes during installation.
Install the 1" check valve in an upflow position on the raw water supply.
Plumb filtered water fixtures, like kitchen faucets, with a downward direction.
Connect raw water supply to down-flow inlet of aeration tank. Install bypass valve.
Connect aeration tank outlet to filter tank inlet. Install bypass valve.
Run 3/8" drain connection from aeration head assembly to a drain.
Run 1/4" vent port tubing to a drain to prevent water damage.
Recommend 1" diameter pipe between aeration tank and filter tank.
Flush plumbing until water is clear and foreign material is removed.
Plug in, slowly open bypass inlet valve to fill tank and reach full pressure.
Open bypass valves and run water at a fixture until clear.
Do not backwash the Iron Curtain Filter for 24 hours after installation.
Factory pre-set to cycle air compressor every 24 hours; adjustable via wiring schematic.
To initiate manually, unplug and plug back in the power cord.
Factory preset to backwash every third day; adjust as needed.
More frequent backwash needed for higher iron, bacteria, H2S, or manganese.
System uses a special media allowing longer filter runs between backwashes.
Factory settings are recommended; adjust if backwashing more frequently is desired.
