TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. The AIRaider Systems are diffused bubble aeration systems for the removal of radon and other VOCs from residential and municipal water supplies. This installation/operation manual is designed to guide professionals through the safe and proper installation of the AIRaider Systems. Before beginning the installation of the AIRaider System, there are 5 items to be considered. They are: 1. Safety 2. Installation Site Requirements 3. Inspection of System Components 4. Necessity for Qualified Technicians 5. Knowledge of all Contaminants in the Water 1.1. Safety Matters Safety is the most important step in the installation process. Never perform any step of the installation that you are not qualified to perform (i.e. Electrical or plumbing hook up). It is important that you read through the entire manual prior to beginning the installation. When performing the installation, work slowly and deliberately. Follow all instructions carefully and never take shortcuts. Our team of technicians is available to answer your questions at 800-355-0901. WORK SAFELY!

Page 8: System Location
Do not mount pump lower than shown as removal of the pump for service may result in tank contents siphoning out onto the floor! IN063 Rev.E Page 8 of 26 3 Saber Way, Ward Hill, MA 01835 | radonaway.com... - Page 9 Gauge with with ¼” x ⅜” FNPT Reducer to the pipe nipple (Figure 5). 3. Sit the pump onto the mounting bracket and connect pump inlet to system outlet. The system outlet is provided with a ¾” Sharkbite Connection suitable for ¾” Nominal Copper Tube or Pex Tube; insertion length into Sharkbite Fitting is 1”. Additional fittings will be required to connect the tube to the 1” MNPT threaded connection on the pump used. Cut the tubing to Figure 5 the length required to align the pump base with Pump and Bypass Assembly the mounting holes in the pump mounting bracket. Bolt the pump to the mounting bracket. 4. With the System located as desired, install the pipe/tube from the pump discharge to the desired location of supply to house. At the house end a tee is required to accommodate supply to house and to System Bypass Connection. Fittings will be required to connect to the 1” MNPT threaded connection on the pump. Fittings required may vary with pump used. The optional Bladder Tank has a ¾” MNPT threaded connection. A tee will be required if the bladder tank is installed, otherwise an elbow may be used at the same location. To facilitate removal of pump for service, a quick disconnect (sharkbite as illustrated, or pipe union) is recommended on the pump side of the required System Outlet Valve (normally open ball valve).

- Page 10 Tube or Pex Tube, insertion length into Sharkbite Fitting is 1”. A System Inlet Valve (normally open ball valve) is required between the tee and Sharkbite Elbow. NOTE: A System Inlet Valve (normally open ball valve) is required between the tee and Sharkbite Elbow. 6. Install the pipe/tube between the tees at the desired locations of the supply to house and the supply from well. A System Bypass Valve (Normally Closed Ball Valve) is required between the tees. Figure 6 Installed 433 ND System IN063 Rev.E Page 10 of 26 3 Saber Way, Ward Hill, MA 01835 | radonaway.com...
- Page 11 NOTE: A Bladder Tank with a minimum capacity of 5 gallons is required for 433-S50 Systems (20 gal/min. for 433-S50X). WARNING: Bladder Tank must be supported by hanger attached to wall or joist. 5. On S50X models, make sure the Bypass valve is open and Inlet and Outlet Valves are closed; slowly open the water main valve and check for leaks. On non-S50X models, make sure the system inlet valve installed prior to the AIRaider elbow is closed; slowly open the water main valve and check for leaks. 6. Slowly change bypass to the “service” configuration, Bypass valve closed, inlet and outlet valves open. Prime jet pump as per Manufacturer’s Instructions (enclosed with pump) if not previously primed. Note that integral pump on 321-S50 and 433-S50 systems will self-prime when the system tank is filled.

7. The ASV is capable of being operated directly from the Control Panel by pressing either the Open or Close buttons. There is also a Mute button which silences the audible alarm sounding when a leak has been detected. NOTE: The ASV must be in the Open state for normal AIRaider system operation.

Page 17: Vent Line Installation
Note: When “Freeze Up” is posssible, a minimum pipe diameter of 3” is recommended (See Figure 13, p. 18). 4. The vent line must be pitched back toward the system to prevent condensation build up. Figure 12 Vent Line Connection (2 Inch) IN063 Rev.E Page 17 of 26 3 Saber Way, Ward Hill, MA 01835 | radonaway.com... - Page 18 Do not locate the air intake in the vicinity of vents from furnaces, barbecue grills, etc. Figure 15 Note: In-Line Air Filters are also available from the Manufacturer.

Page 19: System Start-Up
Continuous operation of the pump when there is no water demand will overheat the system causing the thermal overload to trip and consequent pump shut down. IN063 Rev.E Page 19 of 26 3 Saber Way, Ward Hill, MA 01835 | radonaway.com... -
Page 20: System Check
2.9. System Check 1. Run the system through a couple of cycles to ensure all components are working properly. 2. The blower timer is preset for 5 minutes delay. After the solenoid valves shut, check that the blower continues running for the preset number of minutes delay. 3. Open the tank and check the system. a. Remove the tank lid. b. Lower the water level in the tank by opening a bath tub tap, or similar, within the residence. The floats will fall with the water level. The minimum water level is reached when the lower float drops (except on 433-S50 & 433-S50X systems where minimum water level occurs when the middle float drops). There will be an audible click and the solenoid will open allowing the tank to start filling; the blower should also start running. The water level must rise regardless of how many taps are open within the residence. c. While the tank is filling, lift the lower float (middle float on 433-S50 & 433-S50X), water in flow should stop and the blower will remain running (until the end of the preset delay). Release the lower float. d.While the tank is still filling lift the upper float; water in flow should stop and the blower will remain running. Release the upper float. Pushing down the lower float on 433-S50 and 433-S50X Systems will shut off the pump. e. Remember to shut off any open taps within the residence. 4. Replace the lid and secure with the fasteners provided. With the System running check the lid for air leaks between lid gasket and tank. If leaks occur the fasteners should be tightened until leaks are eliminated. 5. Make sure you have properly labeled the system with the necessary installer information (i.e. company name, phone number, date installed, etc.) and you have left all system information with the home owner. 6. The AIRaider System is now operational.
