4 IRON CUR T AIN the way to solve this problem is to use layers of media.” The advantages of a multi-media bed are: 1. Longer runs between backwash times. 2. Caking of the bed and breakthrough of turbidity are virtually eliminated. 3. Much higher service flow rates per square foot. 4. Higher degree of clarity because of the heavier, finer filter [...]

5 Operating Conditions The Iron Curtain System has been validated by the WQA under their S-200 Filter Standard for the reduction/removal of iron, manganese, and/or hydrogen sulfide. The concentration limits listed below reflect the maximum individual limit that each contaminant was tested for separately without any interference of other contaminant[...]

6 Caution: The water pressure is not to exceed 70 p.s.i.; water temperature is not to exceed 110 ° F; conditioner cannot be subject to freezing conditions; conditioner cannot be subject to a negative pressure or vacuum. On installations where there is the possibility of a negative pressure or vacuum, a vacuum breaker or check valve must be install[...]

22 IRON CURT AIN FLOW DIAGRAMS Step 1. Service Position Raw water enters the aeration- tank inlet, flows thru the inlet diffuser, thru a head of air, down thru the aeration tank, thru the pick-up tube, out the aeration head, into the filter control inlet, and down thru the multi-media bed. Filtered water is collected by the bottom distributor, flow[...]

23 Step 3. Bleeding Off the Aeration System The Iron Curtain Control Center automatically shifts the controller into the Aeration recharge cycle. The air bleedoff valve opens up and allows raw water and/or air to pass thru the bleed off tube in the aeration tank to the drain. The air recharge valve is also open during this time; however, a check va[...]

24 Step 5. Bleeding Off Excess Air The Iron Curtain Control Center automatically turns the air com- pressor pump off and allows both valves to remain open. The air bleedoff valve will bleed off any excess air which was pumped in during the previous step and the check valve in the recharge line prevents any backflow into the air compressor system. U[...]
