  • Page 3: Pre-Installation Instructions

    Pre-installation Instructions Description of the iron filtration system The OXY3 iron filtration system includes an aeration tank, a filtration tank and a backwashing control valve. Incoming water flows into the control valve and is directed into the aeration tank. Exposure to the air in this tank will begin oxidizing any clear water iron.
  • Page 4 Pre-installation Instructions (cont.) Water Supply Unlike other iron filters that do not use chemicals to oxidize the iron, the OXY3 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, submersible pump, variable speed (constant pressure) pump or community water supply.
