Air Charger Sulfur Filter 5900BT-SIDE-AIR Installation & Startup
How Your Air Charger Sulfur Filter 5900BT-AIR Works
The Sulfur 5900-BT-SIDE-AIR control valve maintains a compressed "air pocket" in the filter free space top of
the tank while system is in service. As the water passes through the air pocket, iron is oxidized. Additionally,
dissolved oxygen is added to the water.
The Catalytic Carbon filter media bed then removes the sulfur from the water.
The backwash rinse cycle (usually
done at night, every 2-4 days) will remove accumulated sediment and help keep the carbon clean.
Each night a fresh pocket of air is drawn into system to allow maximum oxidation.
Note About Aeration
The Sulfur 5900-BT-SIDE-AIR utilizes air, oxidation, and filtration for the removal of Iron. You might notice a
bit of tiny air bubbles in the water for first week or so after installation and this is normal but goes away
after installation.
You may also see some sputtering or slight coughing from the hot water side faucets. This is a normal
phenomenon that usually occurs first thing in the morning.
Pre-Installation Notes
Review your packing list to make sure you have received all the parts before installation.
If you are going to be turning off the water to the house and you have an electric water heater, shut off the
power to the water heater before beginning installation.
Pick a suitable location for your filter system on a dry level spot where it won't be exposed to freezing
temperatures, direct sunlight, wind or rain.
After the system is installed and running, your water may be discolored, or full of sediment or rust,
especially if you have older or corroded piping. This typically clears up over a day or two.
