1. The recommended installation has a shut-off valve on both the inlet

and outlet sides of the filter. The installation shown uses copper piping. The

weight of the filter should be supported so it does not stress the pipes. The

main house water shut-off valve can be used as the inlet side shut-off valve.

2. Apply about three wraps of plumber tape in clockwise direction to pipe threads

of each fitting.

3. Assemble all fittings. Start adapters into cap by hand. Use a wrench to tighten

firmly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

4. Measure length (shown as X on diagram) across assembled fittings and

subtract 1-inch if you are installing on 3/4-inch pipe, or 1-1/2 inches if you are

installing on 1-inch pipe. Mark section of pipe to be removed.

5. Turn off the main water supply valve and open a faucet on the lowest level of

you home to drain the system. Cut the correct length of pipe. Use a pipe cutter

or hacksaw. File or sand the ends of the pipe to make sure they are smooth and

square.

NOTE: Have a bucket handy to catch any water that may come out of the pipe.

6. Align filter assembly with ends of pipe, making certain cap opening marked

"IN" is facing the incoming water supply. It will be necessary to spread ends

of pipe apart to install filter assembly. Using two adjustable wrenches, hold

incoming adapter securely with one wrench and tighten nut with second

wrench. Repeat procedure for outgoing adapter.

Slowly turn on water supply to the filter and depress the red pressure-relief

button on cap to release trapped air. Check for leaks. Open the nearest faucet

and flush for 10 minutes, wait one hour, then flush again for 10 minutes.

WARNING

Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are used to

ground your house's electrical system, install a No. 8 AWG jumper wire (or

larger) around the filter (see Figure 5). The jumper wire must be connected

at both ends by a pressure wire fitting or other connection that satisfies

NEC or CEC and local codes.
