Question:

I have a sulphur treatment system which uses hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer, as well as a air injector. There is a 120 ga retention tank, multimedia filter and a carbon filter. The system is new (Oct '03) as is the hot water heater which is oil fired and set at 130F. There is a Braukman air valve located after the retention tank to release air pockets as they build up, and it seems to work well for cold water. My problem is there is always a series of air discharges from the faucet just as the water starts coming out hot. I believe this is caused by the heat in the water heater as well as longer retention time. Is there a simple solution? I thought about installing another Braukman valve after the hot water heater but I don't know if it can handle the higher temperature. Any suggestions?

Answer:

Has the hotwater tank been serviced and in working order? We have also run into the issue of micronizers producing to much air flow, check to make sure the microizer is set at proper level. A micronizer is also not usually used in sulphur removal when in use with retention tanks.
