  • Page 4: Read This Manual First

    READ THIS MANUAL FIRST Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with the device and its capabilities before installing or operating your Water Filter. Failure to follow instructions in this manual could result in personal injury or property damage. This manual will also help you to get the most out of your filter. This system and its installation must comply with state and local regulations.

This filter works by adding oxygen to the incoming water by passing it through a bubble of compressed air.
  • Page 7 AIO Carbon Filter (AIOCXX Models) Cont... Sulfide problems in surface water sources are much less frequent because of the natural aeration that occurs in most flowing surface water sources. Aeration is the most common treatment method in terms of volume of water treated annually because it’s inexpensive, easy to maintain and doesn’t produce potentially harmful reaction products such as tri-halo-methanes (THMs).
  • Page 8: Contaminants Found In Water

    CONTAMINANTS FOUND IN WATER IRON (Fe) Iron concentrations as low as 0.3 ppm will cause staining. The iron concentration, together with the flow rate demand and the consumption rate of the water determines the basic size filter system. The higher these factors are, the larger the required system. The filter system is capable of filtering out the three main types of iron found in water supplies: Soluble iron (also known as “clear water”...
  • Page 9: Unpacking / Inspection

    UNPACKING / INSPECTION Be sure to check the entire unit for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note damage to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit. Small parts, needed to install the filter, are in a parts box.

  • Page 12: Before Installation

    BEFORE INSTALLATION Contact your local distributor to use Canature WaterGroup™ laboratory for complete water analysis free of cost and no obligation to you. The laboratory addresses can be found on the front page of the manual. All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed.
  • Page 13 NOTE: If your pumping rate is inadequate, do not install your filter until the problem is solved. Tools Required for Installation: Two adjustable wrenches Additional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required. Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To maintain full valve flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the filter fittings are recommended. You should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the filter inlet and outlet.
  • Page 14: Installation

    INSTALLATION Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the diagrams following for your particular water supply. NOTE: The Braukman air vent is not approved for use in the State of Wisconsin. An approved air to water tank and/or air vent should be used with this application in the State of Wisconsin.
  • Page 15: Installation Steps

    Installation of the Flow Control Switch (Mascontrol) as Power Source 1. Used when pressure switch and air pump are in alternate locations. Also used on constant pressure or variable speed pump systems. 2. Mascontrol acts as a flow control detecting flow. 3.

Models lower than 1.5 CF of media come loaded with media and this step can be skipped for new installation. CAUTION! The unit should be de-pressurized before installing or replacing media Plug The riser...
  • Page 17   NOTE: Some medias like those used in AIO/AIOM O-ring Models are sacrificial and deplete faster depending on inlet water conditions and usage. The media replenishment is more frequent in high water usage and more acidic water cases.

  • Page 18 3. Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply untreated water to the inlet of the water filter and to the outside faucets. Cut the water line between where it enters the house and before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other fixtures in the house and as near the desired location of the water filter as possible.
  • Page 19 6. Connect Filter to the house plumbing. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve. Correct Installation of the Check Valve: Install 1”...

  • Page 21 4a. (CARBON UNITS – Model AIOCXX) Open the inlet on the bypass valve slightly and very slowly allow water to enter the unit. (If the water enters too quickly it will push the media or carbon up into the control valve and get plugged). Once the unit has filled sufficiently that water is at least equal to the height of the top of the media shut down the water for 15 –...

    3. Close main water supply valve or turn power off to pump and proceed with filter installation. During time required to install filter system, iron- fouled softener resin will be chemically cleaned. 3. After filter installation is completed and final adjustments are made with the water turned on and brine draw tube reconnected, manually reposition timer on softener to backwash position.
  • Page 24: Maintenance Instructions

    MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Your chem free iron filter requires some minor maintenance to ensure optimum performance and years of trouble-free clean water. The following steps should be performed once or twice a year (more often under harsh conditions): 1. Verify the pumping rate of the system - do not refer to a pumping curve for this data. Follow the instructions found on page 7. If the measured pumping rate is less than the backwash rate of the filter, see page 39, Trouble Shooting.
