2. How It Works Congratulations on the purchase of your new EasyWater IronShield GX7. As with every EasyWater product, we are confident that you will be completely satisfied with your purchase. EasyWater is dedicated to providing the healthiest and most eco-friendly products to our customers.
16” x 65” *Combined Iron, H2S, Manganese and Tannins not to exceed 20 ppm, or contact your EasyWater Consultant for treatment options; pH must be a minimum of 7.0 for iron or manganese removal. Pre-treatment is required if bacterial iron or sulfur-reducing bacteria is present. Contact your EasyWater Consultant or Authorized Dealer for pretreatment options.
4. Installation 4.1 Pre-Installation 1) Install according to applicable codes in your area. For installation questions or assistance call your EasyWater consultant or Authorized Dealer. 2) Remove all contents from packaging. Identify all components are present (See Pg 2, Fig 1). Not included are fittings and piping for plumbing to 1”...
4) Ensuring the male end of the down-tube that comes up from the center of the media tank slides into the bottom female opening directly in the center of the Control Valve, screw the valve onto the tank and hand tighten snug. Note: If the down-tube has risen during shipping and is protruding 1”...
4.4 Plumbing Connections 1) Connect the Red-Handled Bypass directly to the Control Valve. By-pass Air Draw Drain Valve 2) Note the inlet/outlet of the system as indicated by the raised black arrows on the Control Valve. Water will not flow through the IronShield if plumbed backwards.
2) Secure the drain line well so that the pressure from backwash will not dislodge the drain line. If the drain line is not secured, water will leak out of the equipment during regeneration at high pressure. EasyWater is not responsible for any damage associated with such leaks.
5. System Startup 1) Turn the Inlet side on the Red-Handled Bypass to the Diagnostic Mode (leave the outlet closed for now) (See ‘Diagnostic Mode’ pg 13, Fig 3). Slowly open the home's main shutoff valve (only partially at this time) and allow the filter to fill.

6) Check for leaks during each of the regeneration stages. Address any leaks. 7) After verifying that there are no leaks, initiate a second regeneration. Allow filter to complete the full regeneration sequence. 8) Once the regeneration is complete, the water will now be treated. 9) Open the outlet on the Red Handled Bypass (See ‘Normal Operation’...
6. Bypass Configuration 1) Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on the Control Valve. Water flows through the Control Valve during normal operation and this position also allows the Control Valve to isolate the media bed during the regeneration cycle.

3) Allow the first stage of the regeneration cycle to run, allowing water to drain, for approximately 1 minute. 4) After the first stage of the regeneration cycle has run for approximately 1 minute, use the REGEN button on the Control Valve to manually advance the Control Valve through each step of the regeneration sequence.
6) Clean the Internal Screen and Injector • Soak the Internal Screen and Injector in Iron Out or a peroxide solution before cleaning with a wire brush or old toothbrush. The Internal Screen has slits that are angled and each needs to be clean and free of debris.

1) System must be in Normal Operation and not in Bypass Operation (See ‘Normal Operation’ pg 12, Fig 1). 2) Remove the air draw screen (See image below) from the air draw port and insert your 2 foot piece of 1/4” tubing directly into the air draw port on the valve.
