1.2. Water Flow Requirements

T e standard residential AIRaiderTM Systems are designed for use wit water ﬂows up to 20 gallons per

minute(GPM).* T e system s ould be installed wit an outﬂow ball valve. If ig er/lower system outﬂow is

needed, open/close t e ball valve by t e amount necessary to balance t e system. T e well pump output must

produce at least 1 GPM more t an t eoutput of t e AIRaiderTM (i.e. well output = 8 GPM ; AIRaiderTM outﬂow

seing = 7 GPM) for proper system performance. If t e well pump output is less t an t e system output t e

AIRaiderTM will run dry and possible damage may occur. To preveent t is from occuring t e water ﬂow rate

must bedetermined before t e system is installed.

*S me AIRaiderTM Systems are n t rec mmended f r high ﬂ w residential pr perties. Repressurizati n systems (except f r the

AIRaiderTMEZ95are s ld separately). Pr per repressurizati n system sizing is required t meet water ﬂ w needs. C nsult manufacturer

if assistance is needed f r system selecti n.

In order to determine available water ﬂow rate t e following are needed:

·Garden Hose

·Five Gallon Bucket

·A Stop Watc or Watc wit a Second Hand

·A Water Flow Meter

Household water use must be discontinued durin the followin ﬂow rate test.

Mid-Ran e Flow Rate Test:

1. Aac garden ose to t e drain connection on t e base of t e well pressure tank.

2. Open t e drain valve and run water for 15 minutes.

3. Aer 15 minutes, c eck t e pressure gauge on t e well system. Adjust t e drain valve (open or close) as

needed to maintain t e required running system pressure (constant pressure on gauge) wit t e well pump

running continuously.

4. Run for 5 minutes w ile ensuring t at t e pressure is not ﬂuctuating.

5. Run water from t e ose into a ﬁve gallon bucket. Using a stop watc , time ow many seconds it takes to ﬁll

t e bucket (X sec.).

6. Determine t e GPM by dividing 60 seconds by t e number of seconds it took to ﬁll t e bucket (X sec.).

Multiply t e answer by 5 gallons. T is gives you t e GPM. GPM = ( 60 / X ) x 5

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 and average t e 2 numbers. T e answer is t e well pump output in gallons per minute.

It is recommended t at t is number be indelibly recorded in an obvious location, toget er wit t e date of test,

as it will be required w en seing t e AIRaiderTM System and may be required for future troubles ooting of

t e well pump system or t e AIRaiderTM System.

** Pump and Tank packages are s ld separately and will vary with the rder.

*** Standard systems are equipped f r a ¾” plumbing c nnecti n. Please specify plumbing c nnecti n requirements when rdering.

1.4. Use Qualiﬁed Technicians

A Licensed Plumber, Electrician, Contractor and/or Certiﬁed Water Treatment Specialist may be required to

install t e AIRaiderTM System in accordance wit t e installation instructions. All wiring must be performed in

accordance wit t e National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA)”National Electrical Code, Standard #70”-

current edition-for all commercial and industrial work. All wiring must be performed by a qualiﬁed and

licensed electrician. C eck your Local and State Code and Licensing requirements. Failure to follow t e

instructions may lead to poor system performance and/or possible system damage.

The Installation must comply with all applicable Local and State Codes

and NFPA National Electrical Code, Standard #70.

1.5. Full Water Test

A full Water Sample Analysis must be performed to determine t e quality of t e water t at requires treatment.

In many water supplies, contaminants ot er t an Radon are present and may need to be pre-treated in order

for t e AIRaiderTM to work properly. T e AIRaiderTM System is only eﬀective for t e removal of Radon and

some ot er VOCs. T e Aeration Process employed by t e AIRaiderTM System and ot er Radon removal

systems can worsen problems due to iron or manganese contaminants in t e water supply. For optimal

removal of Radon or ot er VOCs, ot er contaminants suc as iron, or manganese must be removed before t e

water supply enters t e AIRaiderTM System.

Failure to remove other contaminants can reduce the eﬀectiveness of the system

and may result in system dama e.

2.1. System Location

W en selecting t e location for t e AIRaiderTM System, ﬁve factors s ould be among t ose considered:

1. System Plumbing Hook-up. Find a location t at will minimize t e amount of plumbing necessary, t is is

typically in proximity to t e well tank.

2. Electrical Hook-up. Keep in mind t e need for accessibility to a 20 Amp dedicated 120VAC power supply.

3. Ex aust Line Venting. T e location of t e system must allow for outside venting of t e system ex aust above

t e eave of t e structure. T e Manufacturer requires t at t e ex aust pipe pitc back toward t e system

(see Section 2.6).

4. Remote Air Intake. If t e system must be installed in an area wit questionable air quality (i.e. furnace room,

garage, crawl space) t en ducting from t e air intake to a remote location aving good air quality may be required.

5. System must be level. T e system s ould not be located on a signiﬁcant slope as t is may impede

system performance.

Place t e system in t e location acceptable to customer t at maximizes t e ease of installation. All Local and

State codes as well as any applicable AARST, EPA and/or State Radon standards must be ad ered to w en

locating t e AIRaiderTM (i.e. away from electrical panel, furnace, exits, etc.).

2.2. Readyin the AIRaiderTM for Installation (see Figure 3 for diagram of installed system)

1. Aac bypass assembly to jet pump (See Figure 2).*

2. Aac pump brass assembly to pump intake.
