CAUTION:

• Do not subject tank to any vacuum. If there is a possibility that a vacuum could occur, a vacuum breaker must be

installed.

• Do not locate unit where the tank or any lines (including drain lines) will be subject to temperatures below freezing.

• If there is not at least 10’ of line between the water heater inlet and the outlet of the closest softener/filter, an expansion

tank should be installed.

• Do not use Vaseline or any petroleum-based lubricants on O-rings or rubber seals. Only use food-grade silicone

lubricant.

• O-rings are lubricated before leaving the factory and do not require additional lubrication before installation in most

cases.

• Do not use pipe dope or any sealant other than Teflon tape on threaded connections. Threads on the control valve and on

the bypass nut connections do not require any tape because they use an O-ring seal. Tape is only required on the inlet/

outlet adapter fittings and on the drain line fitting (if applicable).

ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM

The DROPkick uses the air we breathe to naturally reduce the effects of Iron,

Manganese and Sulfur Gas. By introducing oxygen to the water, contaminants chemically change to a

physical particle that can be mechanically filtered out of this water. This natural process called Oxidation,

is usually accomplished in other systems by using chemicals such as chlorine or potassium permanga-

nate. Since the DROPkick does not use chemicals to treat the water, maintenance and

chemical byproducts associated with these types of systems is eliminated. For most systems gravity is all

that is needed to inject new air into the water. There are several normal side effects that may or may not

occur when water is treated in this manner:

1. Cloudy or milky appearance to the treated water.

This side effect is usually more pronounced when the Iron, Manganese or Sulfur Gas levels are

low. Since the DROPkick uses oxygen for the treatment of these contaminants, it can be

expected to have some amount left over in the treated water. The higher the contamination

levels are, the less oxygen there will be. It is the oxygen that gives the cloudy or milky appear

ance. Once the faucet is opened and the water is drawn, pressure is released and allows

the oxygen to escape. This usually will take from a few seconds to a minute depending on the

amount of oxygen and the pressure. This noticeable side effect tells you the system is working

properly and will also actually enhance the palatability of the water. It’s oxygen that gives water

it’s fresh, crisp taste.

2. Sputtering or slight coughing from the hot water side faucets.

This is a normal phenomenon that usually occurs first thing in the morning. As the highly oxy-

genated DROPkick water is exposed to heat in the hot water tank a small amount of oxygen

will separate. The longer the water is allowed to sit in the hot water tank, the more this will be

noticed.

Usually, this will only occur if the hot water is allowed to sit idle for eight (8) hours or more. Consequently,

when hot water is drawn after an extended period of no water use, a slight sputtering or coughing may

be experienced for a few seconds. If this causes the hot water to splash out of the sink, the problem is

reduced by simply turning on the cold water first and blending in the hot for several seconds. If there is a

large amount of free air noticed on the cold water side, there is a possible malfunction of the system and

your DROP Water Management System representative should be contacted to service the unit.

HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

Your DROP Water Management System was selected to address your specific water conditions. Your

system uses advanced technology to deliver effective and efficient water treatment to protect your property

plumbing system, deliver optimal water quality to you and your family, protect your property from leaks, and

save you money, all while providing years of trouble-free operation.

Your system operates in three primary modes:

In Service: Your water is filtered as it passes through the filter media in your tank.

Air Regeneration: Replenish the air used for oxidizing contaminants.

Regeneration: Your system cleans itself by backwashing the media to remove the filtered contaminants,

and to reorient the media. It will then rinse to ensure the system is clean before returning to In Service

Mode.

Note: That with a Simplex system, water to your facility is not treated while in regeneration. With a

Proplex system you will always have treated water.

Additional Features You’ll Find on Your DROP System

• Advanced Electronic Control Valve: Incorporates the latest filter control technology for optimal

performance, efficiency and longevity.

• Optical Sensor Technology: Optical sensors control regeneration for precise performance.

• High Flow Media Tank: Your DROP system delivers the high flow rates required by today’s demanding

businesses.

• Power Backup: To continue to protect your facility during power outage.

• Water Usage Monitoring: DROP monitors your water usage and provides real time information includ-

ing: current water flow, peak flow today, daily average of the last

30 days, as well as many useful historical charts.

• Automatically integrates with other components on your DROP System - DROP is a water man-

agement system that integrates all of the water related devices in your facility including: water softeners,

backwashing filters, leak detectors, sump pump alarms, and many more to come!

• Convenient User Interface on your Smart Phone or Tablet

• LED Light Codes: Alerts you to system status at a glance.

• Regeneration Status: During a regeneration, the App will show the cycle and the time remaining in that

cycle.

• Regeneration Cycle Override: During regeneration, you can force the system to move to another cycle

step immediately by selecting a different cycle step in the App.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set the tank box on its side and remove the caps from the box.

2. Remove the disposable top cap from the tank.

3. Take the distributor tube out of the box and insert through the basket in the bottom of the tank. (Make

sure the collar is toward the bottom.)

4. Before fully installing the distributor tube, connect the bottom of the tube to the valve.

5. Push the valve and tube in until the valve is flush with the bottom adapter. Thread the attached

coupling to the valve to hold the assembly together.

6. Before fully tightening the coupling, stand the system upright and remove from the box. Orient the

valve so that the inlet/outlet face the opens of the tripod. Then tighten the coupling the rest of the way.

7. Attach the threaded connections to the inlet and outlet.

8. Position the tank in the area where it is to be installed. This should be a hard level surface with access

to plumbing, drain, and an electrical outlet.

9. Plumb system in.

10. Plug the top of the distributor tube.

11. Use a garden hose or a bucket to fill the tank 1/3 full of water. (If this is not done, damage to the

basket could occur.) Then add gravel and filter media to the tank. Be sure to plug the center distribu

tor tube so that no media enters the tube. (Media funnel provided)

12. After media is added, remove the plug from the distributor tube, and fill the tank the rest of the way

(up to the bottom of the tank threads) with water. This will allow the filter media to soak while the

installation process is completed. Soak Smart Blend for 12 hours and Carbon for 24 hours. Make sure

that tank threads are clean and free of any media fines and screw the included cap into the top of the

tank.

13. Use the included layout drawing to install the injector kit for your system. (There are 4 injector kit

options available. Options vary based off whether there is a standard floor drain or an elevated drain

and if an ozone generator is being used or not. If there is a standard floor drain gravity is used when

regenerating the air. If there is a raised floor drain, higher than the bottom of tank, then additional

tubing is required to create a loop for drive water to force the air regen.)
