Aeration Control Center
Your new IC-2.0 Aeration Control is factory pre-set to cycle
the air compressor every 500 gallons or approximately once
every 24 hours and during lter regeneration. If chem feed
option is used, only one means of initiating air recharge will be
available, see page 26-27 for wiring and programming. The
air pump will begin to run and will automatically shut o and
not aect the functioning of the Iron Curtain

Filter Control
Your Iron Curtain
®
Filter is factory preset to backwash every third
day. Adjust as necessary but never backwash less often than
every three days. See lter control owners manual for details.
Regeneration Frequency
Your Iron Curtain
®
Filter System contains a special lter media
mixture which allows it to lter iron longer than standard lters
between backwash regenerations. However, it is our recom-
mendation to leave factory settings as is, unless you wish to
backwash more frequently. You will have to backwash more
frequently if you have higher amounts of iron, iron bacteria,
hydrogen sulde, and/or manganese present in your water
supply. You will also have to regenerate more frequently if
you notice iron bleed through before the end of the normal
service run.
For manual air recharge, push REGEN button until display
changes, this will occur in ltering mode.
Backwash Frequency
0.3 - 3.0 ppm Iron - Every 3rd Day
3.0 - 6.0 ppm Iron - Every Other Day
6.0 - 10.0 ppm Iron - Every Day
10+ ppm Iron - Consult Factory
Air Recharge Frequency
Recommended duration of pump run time is 10 minutes, and is
factory set to that duration. (Settings Based on Average Pres
-
sure (50psi) and <500 Gallons Daily Use).
Iron Applications
0.3 - 3.0 ppm Iron - Every 500 Gallons
3.0 - 6.0 ppm Iron - Every 500 Gallons
6.0 - 10.0 ppm Iron - Every 250 Gallons
10+ ppm Iron - Consult Factory
Hydrogen Sulde Applications
Hydrogen Sulde (H2S) consumes 7 times the amount of
oxygen to oxidize than iron does. Therefore, for Hydrogen
Sulde Applications, we use the following guideline;
0 - 4 ppm H2S -Every 250 Gallons
4 - 8 ppm H2S - Every 200 Gallons
8 - 10 ppm H2S - Every 100 Gallons
