  • Page 7: How Your Water Filter Works

    HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS The BIF/BAF systems work by adding oxygen to the incoming water by passing it through a bubble of compressed air. The water is then passed through a special filter bed. The special media not only increases the pH of the water to enhance iron removal but also acts as a physical barrier to trap iron precipitate. As more water passes through this iron filter, the oxygen in the unit is used up, and the media gets loaded with iron.

  • Page 8: Feed Water Parameters

    CHECK YOUR WATER PRESSURE AND PUMPING RATE (CONTINUED) BACKWASH FLOW RATES The most important criteria in sizing a filter is the capacity of the pump. The water must pass through the filter media at a service flow rate that allows it to operate properly. The filter must also be backwashed at a flow rate sufficient to dislodge and remove captured particulates. Failure to provide sufficient water will cause a build-up of particulates in the filter media, impairing its filtration ability.

  • Page 9: Backwashing Instructions

    Groundwater systems are the most common drinking water source for sulfide contamination because of the anaerobic environment in which groundwater exists. Chlorination has been considered the most practical method for POE systems, but is often difficult to implement because continuous chemical addition and ongoing maintenance is required. The formation of THMs is also a concern. Sulfide problems in surface water sources are much less frequent because of the natural aeration that occurs in most flowing surface water sources.

    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.
