Step 4
Once the fi lter media has been loaded, fi ll the media tank with water using a pail or water hose to saturate the media and expel any air out of the fi ltration
system.
Remove the centering tool from the distributor tube and the fi ll funnel from the opening of the mineral tank.
Step 5
Use silicone lubricant to lubricate the distributor tube, control valve o-ring and pilot tube o-ring. Insert the distributor tube into the pilot tube adapter and
attach the valve head to the media tank by rotating the valve head assembly to the right (clockwise). Caution should be taken to prevent cross threading
the valve thread with mineral tank.
Step 6
Locate the installation assembly packet and assemble as the enclosed instructions dictate, refer to Figure 6. Attach the bypass assembly and connec-
tion fi tting to the control valve and hand-tighten only. Study the installation drawings provided (Figure 1, page 3-1) to determine the proper location of
the fi ltration system in relation to the other components of the water system (i.e. water softener, or water heater, if present) and install appropriately.
Step 7
Shut off all water at main supply. On a PRIVATE WELL SYSTEM, turn off power to pump and drain
pressure tank. Make certain pressure is relieved from complete system by opening nearest faucet
to drain system. SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO HOT WATER HEATER.
a) Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing to the INLET and OUTLET of the pressure regu-
lating valve (not supplied). Pressure regulating valve to be set at no greater than 50 psi. Hold
nipples with a wrench while tightening. Use only thread tape on all plastic pipe threads as most
pipe dope compounds can deteriorate plastics. DO NOT apply heat to any plumbing attached to
the pressure regulating valve as damage may result.
b) Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing to the INLET and OUTLET of the AERATION TANK.
Hold nipples with a wrench while tightening. Use only thread tape on all plastic pipe threads
as most pipe dope compounds can deteriorate plastics. DO NOT apply heat to any plumbing
attached to the AERATION TANK as damage may result. You may consider installing a 3-valve
bypass.
c) Cut main supply line as required to fi t plumbing to the INLET and OUTLET of the fi ltration system. Hold nipples with a wrench while tightening. Use
only thread tape on all plastic pipe threads as most pipe dope compounds can deteriorate plastics. DO NOT apply heat to any plumbing attached to
the fi ltration system as damage may result.
d) GAST LOA-P109-AA Compressor must be wired to be powered whenever the well pump runs. Suggest a qualifi ed electrician be contacted if there is
any doubt about this procedure. Voltage requirements are 110V/60Hz. Connecting improper voltage may result in damage to the GAST LOA-P109-AA
Compressor.
An alternate method to power the air compressor is to use a fl ow switch, see Page 3-2 “Wiring Instructions” on how to install and wire
the fl ow switch (Model FS-1).
e) Run air vent line from AERATION TANK to a drain. This is done so any entrained moisture will go to drain when the air release vents.
CAUTION CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Do not install system where water lines could be subjected to vacuum conditions without appropriate measures for vacuum prevention;
• SHUT OFF FUEL OR ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
• Do not apply heat to any fi tting connected to Bypass or Control Valve as damage may result to internal parts or connecting adapters.
