I obtained PDFs of service manuals for my NWTS valves (proprietary Clack variants) from the vendor. The settings I initially quoted derive from the paper manual "AIO3 Ozone Installation & Programming Guide" which came with the "AIO3-OZONE-NELSON-FIELD-KIT", but for which I have no PDF. Of some...

As a catalyst, Katalox Light® is not consumed in the iron removal process and it does not need to be regenerated. Also like most other iron removal media, the active ingredient in Katalox Light® is manganese dioxide. Above is quote from Katalox Light OEM. Hence the NTWS AIO system filtering set...

For my 10-inch tank, the Ozotech AIO3 program manual settings recommend: Filtering = Air Air Release = 4.0 min Backwash = 14 min Air Draw = 40 min Rinse = Off Regen Capacity = 1000 Gal Regen Type = Normal Relay 1 = On Actuation Time = 19:00 min EOG Active Length = 38:00 min Relay 2 = Off But...

Do I grok rightly in guessing that NWTS Clack vendor setting "5 Fill = 12 lbs" adjusts how much water to allow into the brine tank? So that "9 lbs" would be less water on fill, and 15 lbs would be more? And that during draw-down the valve simply pulls all of it out?

Please check my math on the NTWS Clack settings for valves atop my three tanks: Katalox, Carbon, Softener ... as detailed here: write-up

Thank you. That's where it looked it might go, but (unlike top distributor baskets for the other two valves ... backwashing carbon and softener) there was no twist-lock detent on this little part. This while mating twist-lock detents are still to be found on the bottom of the AIO valve. It...

Thank you. I did have that one, but had thought there might be others.

Not being registered at Nelson, where might I obtain a copy of the service manual for this Nelson, 5-button, Clack valve. NWTS-10CFM-AIO-0.0 The above, most of all, as it is most at variance from the generic Clack valve, which service manual I already have. But these two would also be good to...

Assembling my system after a long delay in getting the Vortech tanks. One little mystery, though. There's this one item, which looks like a strainer, yet isn't. What is it, please? And where ought it go? I suspect is to do with the KIO system. Yet there is no place obvious where it might seem to...

Need to choose one DLFC each for two different Nelson 5-Button valves (Clack WS-1). Water pressure ranges 40-60 PSI. Tanks are both 10x54. Valve 1 of 2: Backwash only for 1.5 CF of activated carbon. Valve 2 of 2: Regenerating valve for 1.5 CF of softener. What size DLFC would be most...

Got ahead of myself and installed a top basket onto a Nelson (Clack) control valve which is for Katalox and AIO3, and so needs instead a different adaptor which I need to install in place of said basket. Am finding it hard to remove that basket. Have ordered the Clack tool in hopes of that...

Thanks very kindly for your effort. But aluminum simply won't serve. Pure aluminum might, but not any of the usual alloys...their base conductivity often being just half. That can be made up for by large diameter (2 inches plus), but then the price shoot up and it wouldn't fit in a suitcase.

Wondering where I might purchase flexible corrugated copper tubing in lengths of 20 t0 24 feet, the whole length corrugated without any joints. Not to be used for plumbing, actually, but a ham radio antenna instead. The hoop type, technically known as a "magnetic loop". The idea is to coil it...

What brand of flex connectors do you use? The every two years inspection suggestion is in the Bradford White manual. I was concerned for my warranty should I fail to follow directions. Plus also, my residence has a well. I have recently shock-treated it with vinegar and chlorine bleach...

This YouTube video shows pulling the anode for inspection. Searching I find this Corro-Protect powered anode, which looks like it might be a good idea. I even find an instruction for how to install them on Bradford White. Although that might void my warrantee. I emailed Bradford White to ask if...
