Air contact systems (aeration systems) are primarily used for mixing air with the water, this aids the oxidization of certain components in the water. One of the most common uses is to oxidize soluble Iron and Manganese into insoluble hydroxides.

The air is drawn in using a Mazzei injector, this creates a venturi effect that draws air into the inlet pipe to the contact vessel. There is also a spring loaded bypass fitted, this will open automatically when a large volume of water is required to backwash a system following the aeration.

The feed pressure and flow needs to be sufficient to create the venturi effect, the system will also need to be placed before any accumulator on a pressurized system; all other filtration should follow an accumulator.

It is important to avoid back pressure on the Mazzei also any filtration following the aeration should not be higher; flow controllers should only be used on the final filter.

 

This kit includes parts included in our air contact systems without the vessel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the Air Contact Assembly?
The Air Contact Assembly is used for mixing air with water to aid in the oxidization of certain components, such as soluble iron and manganese, turning them into insoluble hydroxides for easier removal.
How does the Air Contact Assembly draw in air?
The system uses a Mazzei injector that creates a venturi effect, drawing air into the inlet pipe of the contact vessel to facilitate aeration.
Can the Air Contact Assembly handle large water volumes or backwashing?
Yes, it features a spring-loaded bypass that automatically opens to allow for backwashing or handling larger water volume requirements.
Where should the Air Contact Assembly be installed in my water system?
It should be placed before any accumulator on a pressurized system, with all other filtration equipment following the accumulator to ensure proper aeration and filtration order.
Does this kit include the vessel and what other parts are included?
This kit includes the parts of an air contact system but does not include the vessel itself; it provides essential components needed for aeration system setup.
