Iron Filter and Potassium Feeder Installation Guide
Important: The 61AAN is capable of treating a combination of undesirable constituents in the water (iron,
manganese, and/or hydrogen sulfide). However, the filter must be applied within the operating limits stated in
the
WaterMax ® Filter Specifications in this manual. Failure to comply with these specifications will degrade
performance and possibly cause the control valve to malfunction.
Note: The iron filter should be installed after the pressure tank or water meter and before the water heater or
any water softener appliance, unless otherwise recommended. See Figure 6. A minimum 3/4" pipe is required
for proper function of the filter. Examine the inlet piping to make sure the pipe is not plugged with lime or iron. If
the piping is plugged, it must be cleaned or replaced.

Installation Tip: To install the filter, follow steps 1–10 of Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, excluding
Step 4—Connect the Brine Tank. Instead, connect the potassium permanganate feeder as outlined on the
following page.
Caution: Do not adjust the float assembly. This feeder is preset for a 4-ounce feed of potassium
permanganate. Use care when working with potassium permanganate. Follow instructions printed on the cover
of the feeder as well as the instructions on the potassium permanganate container.
