1 of 11 Introduction Blake Water Solutions’ Specialist Series™ point-of-entry (POE) Aerating Iron Oxidizer (AIO) filter systems function as a regenerable water treatment unit utilizing oxygen instead of potentially harmful chemicals to rejuvenate and enhance the performance of the selective filtration media. The filtration media provided is specific to the water contaminant or contaminants that your water treatment specialist has identified.
2 of 11 Installation & Commissioning Note this system is supplied without media installed for ease of transportation and simplifying site location. Refer to the section of this manual for Media Filtration Installation Guide/Commissioning. Place the tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to room temperature before operating.

3 of 11 Filtration Media Loading Media filtration systems supplied by Blake Water Solutions are shipped without the media preloaded. Aeration/Oxidation filtration media selected for Iron, Manganese, Hydrogen Sulfide removal or (other conditions your equipment supplier has identified) are dependent on many factors and are carefully selected and applied based on reported water conditions at the time of testing.

4 of 11 Backwash / Regeneration Cycle The AIO filter is factory preset to backwash / regenerate every third day at 12:30 am. Only untreated water is available during backwash / regeneration. A complete backwash / regeneration cycle lasts approximately 50 minutes, after which filtered water service is restored.
5 of 11 Bypass Valve The bypass valve can isolate the control valve from the plumbing system in order to perform repairs or maintenance. The bypass consists of two interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow-shaped handles. The handles identify the flow direction of the water.

User 1 - Displays gallons until backwash (not shown if set for time-clock operation). User 2 - Displays number of days until next backwash. User 3 - Displays present flow rate in gallons per minute (always reads 0 because no meter is installed).
