Section 1: General Information Read this manual carefully and follow the installation steps in order. This iron filter is intended to be an effective and economical way to remove iron from water without the use of messy and dangerous chemicals or expensive pumps or an external venturi. The valve uses a patented construction to create an air bubble at the upper portion of the tank to oxidize any ferrous iron prior to being filtered by the media. The 2510AIO Valve requires annual maintenance.
Regeneration Sequence The regeneration cycle goes through 4 steps. 1. Backwash (minimum 30 psi inlet pressure required): During the backwash cycle, water flows upwards through the bed, expanding the media and carrying any precipitated iron trapped within it to the drain 2. Air Draw: The unit is replenished with a new bubble of air. During this step water will run to the drain. There is a delay at the start of the cycle while the pressure of the air within the tank reaches atmospheric pressure.
Meter Immediate Control A meter immediate control measures water usage and regenerates the system as soon as the calculated system capacity is depleted. The control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit capacity (typically expressed in grains/unit volume) by the feed water hardness and subtracting the reserve. Meter Immediate systems generally do not use a reserve volume.
Section 2: Before Installation Inspection and Handling Your Chemical Free Iron Filter Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage. If damaged, notify the transportation company and request a damage inspection. Damage to cartons should also be noted. Handle the filter unit with care, Damage can result if it is dropped or set on sharp, uneven projection on the floor. Do not turn the filter unit upside down.
Locate Water Conditioning Equipment Correctly Select the location of your filter tank with care. Various conditions which contribute to proper location are as follows: 1. Locate as close as possible to the water supply source. 2. Locate as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain. 3. Locate in correct relationship to other water conditioning equipment (see Fig. 1, Page 4). 4. Filters and softeners should be located in the supply line before the water heater.
Installation Instructions All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed. CAUTION: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/ or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity.
next-Sand Start-Up Instructions Water-only backwash 1. Check that the correct backwash (BW) flowrate has been determined based on the water temperature. (See table below) 2. Allow the tank to slowly fill with water from the bottom. This is most easily accomplished by setting the control valve to the backwash position and partially opening the inlet valve until water flows from the drain line. 3. Allow the media to soak for at least 30 minutes. 4.
Set Time of Day 1. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the service icon and the parameter display reads TD. 2. Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons. 3. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to resume normal operation. The unit will also return to normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed. Queueing a Regeneration 1. Press the Extra Cycle button.
3. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the Regeneration Time. This option setting is identified by “RT” in the upper left hand corner of the screen. 4. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the Feed Water Iron Concentration in ppm. This option setting is identified by “H” in the upper left hand corner of the screen. 5. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the Fixed Reserve Capacity.
To determine the frequency of regeneration, use this procedure: Setting the Frequency of Automatic Regeneration (SXT Models) Only With the Meter Control Valve Please enter the ppm of compensated iron per gallon of water to be removed. See Step #4 of “User Programming.” The SXT valve will automatically calculate the number of gallons of water to be treated by the iron filter between regenerations.
Section 5: Plumbing System Clean-Up The following procedures are guidelines only but have proven successful in most instances. Under no circumstances should any procedure outlined below be followed if contrary to the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Should there be any questions concerning the advisability of performing a procedure, it is strongly recommended the manufacturer’s authorized service outlet be consulted prior to performing the procedure.

Section 7: Maintenance & Troubleshooting The 2510AIO SXT Iron Filter requires annual maintenance. Please contact your dealer for maintenance kits (Part #92359). PROBLEM CAUSE 1. U nit goes does not go through air draw sequence A. E lectrical service to unit is interrupted 2. U nit doesn’t draw air in refill cycle A. L ine to drain is kinked B. Water pressure to unit is too low CORRECTION A. i) Check supply is operating (Check fuse, plug, etc.
