The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws and
regulations.
"Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system." Systems
certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may
contain filterable cysts.
Min./Max. operating pressure . . . . . .138 kPa/862 kPa (20 psi/125 psi)
Min./Max. operating temperature . . . . . . . . 4.5°C/37.7°C (40°F/100°F)
Do not allow system or system components to freeze; do not expose filter
assembly to direct sunlight (ultra violet light).
Step 1. After selecting the location where you will install your filter in the
water line, determine if existing shut off valves will isolate the filter
housing during cartridge changes. It is important to have valves on
the sides of the filter housing. If you are installing the filter housing
near the main water shut off valve, you may need to add only one
additional valve just past the filter to prevent back flow of water from
the plumbing system during cartridge changing. Thread the brass
compression fittings or ball valves into the filter head using teflon
tape (Figure 1). Do not use joint compound. Tighten securely with a
wrench but do not overtighten. For 1/2-inch water line use the rubber
ferrules, for 3/4-inch water line use the brass ferrules.
Step 2. Turn off the water supply and drain the water lines by opening a
faucet in the upstairs sink in the house and one in the basement of the
house. Measure and cut the water line based on your individual
installation (Figure 2).
Step 3. Slip the compression nut and appropriate ferrule on each end of the
pipe. For 1/2-inch water line use the rubber ferrules, for 3/4-inch
water line use the brass ferrules (Figure 2).
Step 4. Slide the filter into position in the water line taking careful note of the
proper water flow direction (Figure 3). Use one wrench to hold the
fitting that was installed into the filter housing and tighten the nut
with a second wrench. Turn on the water supply and depress pressure
release button to remove trapped air. Test for leaks. (Figure 3A is an
alternate installation showing the use of ball valves).
Step 5. Installations using metal pipe require a grounding jumper around the
filter (Figures 3, 3A). Use No. 4 AWG copper wire or larger.
Grounding jumper must meet code requirements.
