PRE-INSTALLATION11. PRE-INSTALLATIONThe AIRaider EZ95 System is a diffused bubble aeration system for the removal of radon and other VOC’s fromresidential water supplies. This installation and operation manual is designed to guide professionals throughthe safe and proper installation of the AIRaider EZ95 System.Before beginning the installation of the AIRaider EZ95 System, there are 5 items to be considered. They are:1. Safety2. Installation site requirements3. Inspection of System components4. Qualified Technicians are necessary5. Knowledge of all contaminants in the water1.1. Safety MattersSafety is the most important step in the installation process. Never perform any step of the installation that youare not qualified to perform (i.e. Electrical or plumbing hook up). It is important that you read through theentire manual prior to beginning the installation.When performing the installation, work slowly and deliberately. Follow all instructions carefully and never takeshortcuts. Our team of technicians is available to answer your questions at 800-355-0901.WORK SAFELY!IN052 Rev. K 0613Page 3 of 22

PRE-INSTALLATION11.2. Water Flow RequirementsThe AIRaider EZ95 System is designed for use with water flows up to 7 gallons per minute (GPM)* foroptimum Radon Reduction. Higher outflow can be accommodated although higher flows will result in reducedwater pressure (see Figure 1) and a degradation of radon reduction efficacy.Figure 1 - Pump CurveIf higher or lower system outflow is needed, a flow control valve may be placed in the outlet piping downstream of the bladder tank and may be opened or closed by the amount necessary to balance the system.To avoid interruptions in the outflow from the AIRaider EZ95 System the well pump output must exceed the systemoutflow by at least 1 GPM at design flow (i.e. well output 8 GPM ; AIRaider EZ95 outflow setting 7 GPM).If the well pump output is less than the system output the AIRaider EZ95 may run dry which will cause thepump, installed integrally within the AIRaider EZ95 System, to automatically shutdown. To prevent outflowinterruptions it is strongly recommended that well pump water flow rate be determined before the AIRaider EZ95 System is installed and that the system is balanced accordingly.*The AIRaider EZ95 System is not recommended for high flow residential properties. Other AIRaider Systemsare designed specifically for high flow residential properties. Separate repressurization systems are not requiredwith the AIRaider EZ95 System but are available for other AIRaider Systems. Proper repressurization systemsizing is required to meet water flow needs. Consult the manufacturer if assistance is needed for system selection.In order to determine available water flow rate the following is needed: Garden Hose Five Gallon Bucket A Stop Watch or Watch with a Second HandOr A Water Flow Meter.IN052 Rev. K 0613Page 4 of 22

PRE-INSTALLATION1Household water use must be discontinued during the following flow rate test.Mid-Range Flow Rate Test:1. Attach garden hose to the drain connection on the base of the Well Pressure Tank.2. Open the drain valve and run water for 15 minutes.3. After 15 minutes, check the pressure gauge on the well system. Adjust the drain valve (open orclose) as needed to maintain the required running system pressure (constant pressure on gauge)with the well pump running continuously.4. Run for 5 minutes while ensuring that the pressure is not fluctuating.5. Run water from the hose into a five gallon bucket. Using a stop watch, time how many seconds ittakes to fill the bucket (Z sec.).6. Determine the GPM by dividing 60 seconds by the number of seconds it took to fill the bucket (Zsec.). Multiply the answer by 5 gallons. This gives you the GPM.GPM ( 60 / Z ) x 57. Repeat steps 5 and 6 and average the 2 numbers. The answer is the well pump output in gallons perminute. It is recommended that this number be indelibly recorded in an obvious location, togetherwith the date of test, as it will be required when setting the AIRaider EZ95 System and may be required for future troubleshooting of the well pump system or the AIRaider EZ95 System.1.3. Full Water TestA full Water Sample Analysis must be performed to determine the quality of the water that requires treatment. In many water supplies, contaminants other than radon are present. The AIRaider EZ95 Systemis only effective for the removal of radon and some other VOCs. The Aeration Process employed by theAIRaider EZ95 System and other radon removal systems can worsen problems due to iron or manganesecontaminants in the water supply. For optimal removal of radon or other VOCs, other contaminants such assediment, iron, or manganese must be removed before the water supply enters the AIRaider EZ95.Failure to remove other contaminants can reduce the effectiveness of the system and may result in system damage!1.4. Unpacking and Locating System Components1.4.1. Unpack All System ComponentsRemove all packing material and discard appropriately away from the work area.1.4.2. Locate All ComponentsCheck to ensure all components are intact and included in shipment.Included Component List (may vary with order) Tank Assembly Pump (Installed Inside Tank Assembly) Diffuser Assembly (Installed Inside Tank Assembly) Bypass Valve (Sold Separately) Bladder Tank (Minimum 5 gallon.

1INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS22.1. System LocationWhen selecting the location for the AIRaider EZ95 System, six factors should be among those considered:1. System Plumbing Hook-up. Find a location that will minimize the amount of plumbing necessary, thisis typically in proximity to the well tank.2. Electrical Hook-up. Keep in mind the need for accessibility to a 20 Amp dedicated 120VAC powersupply.3. Exhaust Line Venting. The location of the system must allow for outside venting of the system exhaustabove the eave of the structure. The Manufacturer requires that the exhaust pipe pitch-back toward thesystem (see Section 2.5).4. Remote Air Intake. If the system must be installed in an area with questionable air quality (i.e. furnaceroom, garage, crawlspace) then ducting from the air intake to a remote location having good air quality may be required.5. System must be Level. The system should not be located on a significant slope as this may impedesystem performance and may cause system damage.6. Drain Location. The system is equipped with an overflow connection, it is recommended that thisconnection be directed to a drain or sump.Place the system in the location acceptable to customer that maximizes the ease of installation. All Local andState codes as well as any applicable AARST, EPA and/or State Radon standards must be adhered to whenlocating the AIRaider (i.e. away from electrical panel, furnace, exits, etc.).2.2. Preparing the System for Installation1. Remove fasteners securing cover to tank andremove cover assembly. (See Figure 3)2. Remove lid3.
