A. READ Instructions Before Using
• After reading these instructions completely, obtain all the
materials and tools needed for installation.
NOTE: Failure to install the system correctly voids the warranty.
• Perform installation according to state, province and local
plumbing codes.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for sweat-solder
connections, as required by state, province and federal
codes.
• Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop,
drag or turn components upside down.
• Be sure the oor under the water lter system is clean, level
and strong enough to support the unit.
• The system uses 24 volt-60Hz electrical power. Always use
the transformer supplied.
Plug transformer into an indoor 120 VAC, grounded outlet.
Properly ground the system to conform with all codes and
ordinances.
• Install the system in a protected area. Be sure electric outlet
and transformer do not come in contact with water. See
Installation Considerations, in the installation section of the
manual.
Do not attempt to treat water over 110°F (43°C) with the
system. Always connect the system to the main water
supply pipe before the water heater.
Do not expose the system to freezing temperatures. Wa-
ter freezing in the system causes equipment damage.
Do not install in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays from the
sun may cause damage.
• Minimum inlet water pressure is 30 psi. Maximum inlet water
pressure is 80 psi. Use a pressure reducing valve if neces-
sary.

PWBWIRONZ System Overview
PWBWIRONZ systems are selected for use when the concentration
of iron and hydrogen sulfide in water need to be reduced. They
use the model 2510 AIO Control Valve to reduce the contaminants
in the water without the use of chemicals. The 2510 AIO valve is
specially designed to capture a volume of air inside the system’s
mineral tank. Water passes through the AIO valve then passes
through the air head in the top of the mineral tank. Oxygen from
the captured air transfers into the water. The oxygen oxidizes these
contaminates in the water to oxides or solid precipitants. Then they
are mechanically filtered out of the water by the Micro Z® media
filter bed. After a preprogrammed number of days have passed, the
system will perform a regeneration cycle to clean the Micro Z® media
of the solids it has accumulated, draw in more air, rinse, then return
to service. Watts recommends a daily regeneration of the system. A
regeneration every other day may be possible if system inlet water
quality permits (please contact your Watts representative).
Regeneration is as follows:
Backwash (BW): The Backwash cycle washes oxidized contaminCycle Step #1 ates to drain and reclassifies the media bed.
Air Draw (BD): Air Draw empties water from the tank and replen-
Cycle Step #2 ishes the oxygen within the mineral tank.
Rapid Rinse (RR): Rapid Rinse purges excess atmosphere from the
Cycle Step #3 mineral tank and distributor.
Upon completion of Rapid Rinse the system returns to the service
position.
NOTE: Due to the presence of air in the media tank the maximum operating pressure of the system is 80 psi.
