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 car-
tridge changes. It is important to have valves on both sides of the filter hous-
ing. 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.
Step 2. Turn off the water supply and drain the water lines by opening a faucet in an
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 test for leaks. (Figure 3A is a
tion showing the use of ball valves).
When to change the filter cartridge
When white staining reappears on plumbing fixtures it is time to change the car-
tridge. Generally you should change the cartridge every six months, however, water
conditions vary greatly and you may need to change your cartridge more frequently.
Step 1. Close the gate valves on both sides of the filter and press the pressure release
button.
Step 2. Unscrew the filter canister and remove the cartridge. Inspect the
O-Ring and lubricate with Vaseline
O-Ring should be replaced every three cartridge changes.
Step 3. Replace the filter cartridge and reinstall the filter canister. Open the gate
valves on both sides of the filter and press the pressure release button to
remove trapped air.
