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.

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.
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.

OXY3 Timer Operation 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.
