  • Page 6: Backwashing Filter Introduction

    Backwashing Filter Introduction The Matrixx Greensand Plus Iron Filter system is designed to remove iron and manga- nese from the water using chlorine as an oxidizer. Once a residual chlorine is produced following the system, the iron is removed. Chlorine is injected in the feed water line to oxidize the iron then the water goes in to a high speed retention / reaction tank to com- plete the reaction.

  • Page 9 Install the rubber washer gasket in the connecting nut and install the water meter with the flow arrow pointing away from the inlet fitting. Tighten the nut hand tight. An adjustable wrench can be used to tighten the nut an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. The rubber washer gasket will seal the connection so the nut should not be over tightened.
  • Page 10 Slide the nut over the outlet nipple and install the outlet nipple in the outlet plumbing. Use Teflon tape to seal the connection and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten the nipple in the outlet plumbing connection or damage could occur.

    Chemical Solution Tank (With Pump) Installation Instructions Install the chemical pump mounting bracket on the solution tank. Center the bracket on the back side of the tank. Install two #10 x 3/4" screws in the outer holes. Tighten all screws. Install the chemical injection pump on the bracket that was installed on the tank using the screws taped to the bracket.
  • Page 12 Drill a 1/4" hole in the top of the solution tank and install the tubing into the tank. Install the weighted suction screen on the tubing that was inserted in the tank. Push the tubing down in the tank until the weighted suction screen is around 1" from the bottom of the tank.
  • Page 13 Install the other end of the tank suction tube to the chemical injection pump inlet. The inlet is identified by an arrow pointing toward the pump. Be sure the sleeve is installed on the tubing properly. The beveled side of the sleeve should be facing the pump.

  • Page 14: Chemical Pump Wiring Installation Instructions

    Install a piece of tubing on the outlet of the pump. Be sure to orient the sleeve properly and hand tighten the nut. The outlet is identified by an arrow that is pointing away from the pump. The other end of the outlet tube from the chemical pump will be installed in the injection check valve (installed next).
  • Page 15 The wire coming from the chemical injection pump will have several colors. Fold back all wires but the red and black wire. Make sure the wires that are folded back are not touching each other or anything else. Tape the wires back. Now connect the black wires together with a wire nut or butt splice connector.

  • Page 17: Preparation

    Preparation Filter Tank Preparation Water Pressure: A minimum of 30 pounds of water pressure is required for the regenera- tion valve to operate effectively. Electrical Facilities: An uninterrupted alternating current (AC) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
  • Page 18 Use the funnel provided to pour the media into the tank. The order the media is pour- ed in is important. Begin by pouring the Quartz Gravel into the bottom of the tank. Pour it evenly around the hole to ensure it is well distributed in the tank and pour slow enough to keep from plugging the hole.
  • Page 19 Install the upper basket on the bottom of the valve by lining up the tabs then turning the basket clockwise to lock it in place. Place the upper basket over the distributor tube and push the valve onto the tank. Thread the valve on the tank by turning it clockwise.

  • Page 32: Automatic Bypass During Regeneration

    Automatic Bypass During Regeneration The regeneration cycle can last 25 to 30 minutes, after which treated water service will be restored. During regeneration, untreated water is automatically bypassed for use in the household. This is why automatic regeneration is set for sometime during the night and manual regenerations should be performed when little or no water will be used in the household.

  • Page 33: System Start Up

    System Start Up With the bypass handles in the bypass position, turn on the main water supply and initiate an immediate regeneration. This will advance the valve to the backwash position. Once the valve has stopped moving and is in the backwash position, slowly open the bypass handles about 1/8th turn.

  • Page 34: Chlorine Injection Setting

    Chlorine Injection Setting To set the chlorine injection rate, open a faucet directly after the system and take a sample. The injection pump should be adjusted so there is about 1 PPM of residual chlorine after the system. Run water for 20 - 25 minutes. Take a sample after the system and test the chlorine level.

  • Page 37: What To Expect

    What to Expect The Matrixx Greensand Plus Iron Filter will produce iron free water immediately after installation. Depending on the raw water quality, there may be contaminants built up in the water heater, plumbing system and other devices. Over the first few weeks, as water is used, there could be traces of this build up that are being removed by the newly installed system.

  • Page 38: Routine Maintenance

    Routine Maintenance • Pressure Tank - If the plumbing system uses a bladder pressure tank, it will be in the system prior to the Greensand system. This tank should be drained periodically to remove any build up of contaminants. Typically once a quarter is sufficient but that frequency may need to be increased on systems with high contaminant levels.
