Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of a Premier Whole House Valve-in-Head
Water Filtration Kit. Water quality concerns are quickly becoming
more of a focus for the public. This Premier whole house water filter
has been designed and tested to provide you with a higher quality
of water.
This filter is designed to reduce the amount of sediment that would
normally enter your home water system. Reducing the amount of
sediment in your home water system will allow your fixtures and
water use appliances to work better.
It is important to change out your filters at the recommended
intervals as indicated in this system manual. When replacing the
filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions.

Prior To Installation

Premier's Whole house filter is designed to be installed on the main
waterline servicing the house. It should be installed indoors where it
is not subject to cold temperatures or long term exposure to direct
sunlight. Premier does not take any responsibility for the plumbing
of the system into the water line. All water filtration systems must be
installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and regulations.
Note: For installation, you will need to purchase fittings based on
the pipe size and material of the incoming water line that you will be
tapping into.
NOTICE
For copper pipes we recommend using brass 3/4" MPT
x pipe size (1/2" or 3/4") compression style fittings.
For all other material types, check with your plumbing
professional.

The diagram above is the basic install layout.
Whole House Filter Installation
Step 1 – Determine placement of the unit. Make sure the installation
location allows for easy servicing of the system, including a
clearance beneath the filter bowl for filter changes.
NOTICE
This unit must be installed vertically with the lid on top.
Step 2 – Shut off main water supply and open a faucet beyond the
connection to relieve water pressure. Then close the faucet
when depressurized.
Step 3 – Make sure water flow direction coincides with the "IN" and
"OUT" ports marked on the unit.
Step 4 – Cut the water line where the Whole House Filter is to be
installed. The amount of pipe to be removed will be depen-
dent on the type of fittings used. Copper pipes need to be
cleaned & de-burred of any imperfections.
NOTICE
If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not connect into the unit
until the pipes have cooled. Make sure to use Teflon tape on
all male pipe threading used.
CAUTION
Make sure not to overtighten threaded port to the unit!
Step 5 – Using the fittings previously purchased, make sure that the
flow direction is correct through the filter system and plumb
the system to the waterline.
