INSTALLATION

Installation Overview
The AIO valve is designed for use when water containing
contaminates subjected to oxidation is encountered. The
water passes through the AIO valve then passes through the
tank containing oxygen enriched filter media. The oxygen
reduces all contaminates in the water to an oxide, or in the
case of hydrogen sulfide gas, it is reduced to a molecule of
acid.
Install the AIO valve after the supply lines to the outside
faucets (unless outside faucets need to be free of
contaminates in water). The AIO valve is generally installed
before a water softener or any taste/odor cartridges, if
applicable.
Due to the release of air during regeneration, the drain line
should be anchored throughout the run and secured at the
end of the drain line. The drain line should be sized for the
backwash rate and friction loss.
The drain line flow control should accommodate the size
tank and backwash rate for the filter media being used.
The injector size (slow rinse rate based on pressure) should
be sized the same as the service flow rate of the filter media
being used.
Water Pressure
A minimum of 20 psi (1.4 bar) of water pressure is required
for regeneration valve to operate effectively.
Electrical Facilities
An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required.
NOTE: Other voltages are available. Please make sure your
voltage supply is compatible with your unit
before installation.
Existing Plumbing
Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and
iron buildup. Piping that is built up heavily with lime and/
or iron should be replaced. If piping is clogged with iron,
a separate iron filter unit should be installed ahead of the
water softener.
Location Of Softener/Filter/AIO Drain
The softener should be located close to a drain to prevent air
breaks and back flow.
Bypass Valves
Always provide for the installation of a bypass valve if unit is
not equipped with one.
CAUTION
Water pressure is not to exceed 125 psi (8.6 bar),
water temperature is not to exceed 110°F (43°C),
and the unit cannot be subjected to
freezing conditions.
The system MUST be depressurized before
WARNING:
removing any connections for servicing.
Installation Instructions
1. Place the softener tank where you want to install the unit
making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
2. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve
to room temperature before operating.

3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local
plumbing codes. The pipe size for residential drain line
should be a minimum of 1/2 inch (13 mm). Backwash flow
rates in excess of 7 gpm (26.5 Lpm) or length in excess of 20
feet (6 m) require 3/4-inch (19 mm) drain line. Commercial
drain lines should be the same size as the drain line
flow control. Be sure drain lines are secured properly.
4. Refer to the dimensional drawing for cutting height of the
distributor tube. If there is no dimensional drawing, cut the
distributor tube flush with the top of the tank.
5. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank o-ring seal.
Place the main control valve on tank.
NOTE: Only use silicone lubricant.
6. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to
connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC). Leave
at least 6 inches (15 cm) between the DLFC and solder
joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC.
Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.
7. Plumber tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain
fitting. The drain from twin tank units may be run through a
common line.
8. Make sure that the floor is clean beneath the salt storage
tank and that it is level.
9. Place approximately 1 inch (25 mm) of water above the grid
plate. If a grid is not utilized, fill to the top of the air check in
the salt tank. Do not add salt to the brine tank at this time.
10. On units with a bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on the
main water supply. Open a cold soft water tap nearby and let
run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign
material (usually solder) that may have resulted from the
installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
11. Slowly place the bypass in service position and let water
flow into the mineral tank. When water flow stops, slowly
open a cold water tap nearby and let run until the air is
purged from the unit.
12. Plug unit into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: All electrical connections must be connected according
to local codes. Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.

DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION

Put a thin layer of silicone lube around inside diameter of the
deflector. Slowly slide the deflector over the distributor tube
down about 1". When threading the AIO valve to the tank, the
bottom of the threads will slide the deflector down, as shown
in the diagram.
