Whole House Filters
for Private Well Water Systems
The Evolve line of whole house filters provide for fully customizable water treatment solutions. Your Conner Water Specialist will analyze your water and determine the best possible solution to your water treatment problem. The whole house filters are configured for a wide variety of water contaminants. Our Evolve AirCat iron and manganese filters can effectively reduce iron, Manganese, and hydrogen sulfide without the use of hazardous chemicals such as potassium permanganate. For those especially difficult waters that contain iron or sulfur bacteria that can over time foul the filter system we have an optional ozone (link to ozone data sheet) injection system that cleanses the filter media during the backwash with ozone. This optional ozone generator is incorporated into the AirCat filter systems for optimal effectiveness.
- Iron
- Manganese
- Hydrogen sulfide
- Acid water (low pH)
- Various tastes and odors
- Musty odors
- Turbidity, brown or black stains or color and cloudiness
How Water Filtration Works
Service Position
This is the normal operating position of the filter. In this stage or position, untreated water flows through the side inlet of the control valve and down through a “captured” dome of air, which oxidizes and precipitates iron and/or sulfur. As the water flows through the media, these precipitated contaminants are filtered out.
Backwash Air
This is the first position in the regeneration sequence. In this position, the valve goes through a series of very small movements, inching along and allowing the “captured” dome of air to release slowly and harmlessly down the drain. This patented feature allows the filter to expel pressurized excess air without the force associated with other air systems.
Backwash
Backwash is a step in the regeneration process where the media in the tank is physically lifted up, spun around, and agitated under pressure. It is cleaned of any particles, such as precipitated iron or sulfur, which has been filtered out during normal use of the system. After, the backwash water containing undesirable particles flow harmlessly to drain.
Air Draw Position
During the Air Draw Position, the filter draws air into the tank, which replenishes the air charge. Replenished air is necessary, as it is consumed in the oxidation and precipitation process. Some units have the option of using an ozone generator. During this position, there is additional oxidation and bacteria control.
Return to Service
As the valve returns to the service position, the inlet port is open to the tank, which allows water to fill the tank from the bottom to the top. As the tank fills, the dome of air compresses to the top portion of the tank. It is this air, or the optional ozone functionality, that is used in the oxidizing process of the service run.
