Pro-OX 8500 Iron Filter Installation & Startup Guide Assembly and Installation Instructions 1. Unscrew by hand the entire Canature 85HE control valve from top of tank if it was shipped screwed on. Make sure distributor tube is capped; if it is not, wrap it with electrical or duct tape. This will ensure you don’t accidentally pour gravel or Pro-OX media into the distributor tube. - Page 8 Pro-OX 8500 Iron Filter Installation & Startup Guide 7. See how the Canature bypass valve is connected. Items 2 are the pipe connectors, and items 3 are the red clips that hold the pipe connectors to the bypass valve. To put the system into bypass or service mode, don’t remove the red clips, just turn the red knobs (items 1).

Page 11: Maintaining Your Pro-Ox Filter System
Pro-OX 8500 Iron Filter Installation & Startup Guide Maintaining Your Pro-OX Filter System Your Pro-OX 8500 iron filter requires very little maintenance. Simply replace the Pro-OX media every 6-10 years for best results. If your water has a lot of hydrogen sulfide odor or iron and manganese levels over 10 PPM (parts per million), a chlorine feed pump may be needed to inject a small amount of chlorine before the well pressure tank and iron filter. - Page 12 Pro-OX 8500 Iron Filter Installation & Startup Guide Initial Backwash Media Lifted Into Control Head Sometimes, when doing the Initial Backwash, the media gets lifted up into the control head. You can tell this happened because you will have little or no flow, either going out to drain while in the backwash positon, or when in the service positon.
