Pre-installation Instructions Description of the iron filtration system The OXY2 iron filtration system includes a single filtration tank with a pocket of air and a backwashing control valve. Incoming water flows into the control valve and is directed into the filtration tank. Exposure to the air in this tank will start oxidizing the iron which is then trapped by the media.

Pre-installation Instructions (cont.) Water Supply Unlike other iron filters that do not use chemicals to oxidize the iron, the OXY2 iron filter does not require additional devices such as air compressors, venturis, solenoids, pressure switches or pressure tanks. This filter will function properly when the water supply is furnished by a jet pump (5 gpm minimum), submersible pump, variable speed (constant pressure) pump or community water supply.
General Installation GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The water conditioner is not designed to support the weight of plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black “O” Rings. This will allow ease of installation and decrease chance of rolling from the bypass and tank connections.
Installation Instructions STEP 1: If media is already loaded in filter tank proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, place red pipe cap (if provided) or a piece of tape over the end of the distributor tube to prevent media from entering the distributor tube during media filling.

Installation Instructions (cont.) STEP 9: Plug the transformer into a non-switched electrical outlet. Be sure the control valve is in the “Service” position. For OXY2 models the service indicator should point to the time of day arrow (See figure 4a below). OXY2E units are in service when the time of day is displayed above the gallons remaining (see figure 6, page 10).

OXY2 Timer Operation (cont.) FIGURE 5: Back of Timer Assembly How to Change the Length of Backwash Cycles: All cycles have been factory set and should not need adjustment. If local conditions require different cycle lengths, however, the following procedures should be followed. The end of the program wheel has been used for backwash cycles to minimize the amount of time that pressure will be applied to the air draw check valve.
