WARNING
Lubricants
Do NOT use Vaseline, oils, hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere! Petroleum base lubricants
will cause swelling of o-rings and seals. The use of other lubricants may attack plastic Noryl®. It is recom-
mended that Dow Corning® silicone grease be used as a lubricant for all control valves. Dow Corning® 7
Release Compound is used in the manufacture of Chandler Systems control valves. (Part # LT-150)
Sealants
Pipe dope and liquid thread sealers may contain a carrier that attacks some plastic materials. It is recom-
mended that Teon® tape be used to seal plastic Noryl® threaded ttings.

-How the Provectr Plus Works-
The Provectr Plus requires no chemicals for its operation. It consists of two components: (1) AP tank with
air compressor and (2) lter tank. The rst item serves to oxidize and precipitate iron and sulfur so that the
lter can later remove them. The water ows down through the mineral bed of the lter and out the service
lines. The collected precipitates must be regularly removed from the lter by reversing the ow of water
through the lter running to drain. Called “backwashing” and lasting 10 minutes, the process expands the
mineral freeing the iron, sulfur, manganese and turbidity, which are washed out of the lter to the drain. It
is important that the correct amount of water is available for the Backwash Cycle. Check pumping capacity
to be certain water is available in sucient volume to adequately backwash the equipment at the specied
rate.
