Pro-Ox 5900-BT-AIR Installation & Maintenance Guide
Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System! With proper installation and a
little routine maintenance your system will be providing iron free water for many
years.
Please review this start-up guide entirely before beginning to install your system
and follow the steps outlined for best results.
The Pro-OX 5900-BT-AIR Iron Filter media must be activated with a 1 cup of un-
scented liquid chlorine bleach when first installing it. Read instructions for more
information. It is easy to do, but a critical step.
The Pro-OX media produces very small particles (fines) when the system is first
installed. Bring the water pressure up VERY slowly during the initial backwash by
opening inlet valve slowly to avoid pushing the media up into the control head.
Performing multiple backwashes at start-up is an important step. It is also
recommended that the air draw or chemical draw functions be disabled during the
start-up period to ensure all the smaller particles have been flushed out.
You should also not bring any other systems online (i.e. softeners, filters, etc.) until
the Pro-Ox system is fully flushed. Depending on the water quality, this may take
several backwashes and a week or two of normal water use.
The Pro-OX media contains dust. Use paper mask and ventilate area to avoid
breathing dust when first pouring the media into the tank.
Minimum 30 PSI required. Maximum pressure 90 PSI.
For indoor installation. Protect from sunlight, rain, and freezing.
