Site Selection and Placement
Choose a location that provides convenient access for installation, maintenance, and backwashing.

Step 1: Prepare the Plumbing Lines
Turn off the main water supply before beginning. Drain the system if necessary. Use appropriate plumbing adapters to connect your incoming water line to the system’s inlet port. Similarly, connect the outlet port to your home’s plumbing, ensuring all connections are tight and leak-free. Use Teflon tape on threaded fittings to seal against leaks, but avoid over-tightening.
Step 2: Mount the System
If installing with the optional tank jacket, fit it snugly around the tank to provide insulation. Secure the system on a stable, level surface or mount it on a wall if configuration permits, ensuring easy access for maintenance and backwashing processes.

Step 4: Final Checks and Testing
Double-check all connections for tightness and any potential leaks. Slowly turn on the water supply and observe all fittings. It’s advisable to install a pressure gauge if available, to monitor system performance. Once confirmed leak-free, open the bypass to allow water into the system.
System Setup and Configuration
Adjusting the Control Valve
The 1" NWS control valve features Control Flow Technology, which meters backwash cycles based on household water use. During setup, set the control valve according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically involving setting the time and backwash frequency to match your household’s consumption to ensure efficient operation.
Initial Backwash Cycle
Perform an initial backwash to clean the media bed and activate the filtration process. This may involve manually initiating a backwash cycle via the control valve, or it may be set to run automatically based on your household water usage. Consult your specific control valve instructions for precise procedures.
Ongoing Maintenance for Optimal Performance
Regular maintenance ensures your system continues to effectively remove iron without salt or chemicals. The control valve’s built-in backwash functionality, controlled by household water flow, reduces water waste and simplifies upkeep. Periodic inspections for leaks, media bed condition, and valve operation will keep your system running smoothly.
How This System Compares with Alternatives
Protecting plumbing, fixtures and appliances
Untreated iron and sulfur in well water can lead to significant damage in a home's plumbing system, fixtures, and appliances. Iron can cause rust stains on sinks, tubs, and toilets, while sulfur can lead to unpleasant odors and corrosion. Over time, these contaminants not only impact the aesthetic appeal of your home but also reduce the lifespan of your plumbing and appliances. Appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines are particularly vulnerable, as they may accumulate scale from mineral buildup, which can hinder their efficiency and result in costly repairs.
Installing the All In One Iron & Sulfur and Water Softener system provides an effective barrier against these issues. By treating water before it reaches your plumbing, you can significantly reduce the risk of rust and mineral buildup. This proactive approach not only protects your fixtures and appliances but can also lead to lower maintenance costs and an overall longer lifespan for your home’s water-related systems.
