IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable
water line.

SF1XX Manifold and ScaleGARD™ HT Systems
SF1XX High Flow series water filtration systems combine chlorine taste and odor reduction with particulate
reduction, and help protect equipment from the potentially harmful effects of scale formation, even at application
temperatures to 200°F (93°C). The inlet water enters the manifold on the left rear side and exits through the scale-
inhibitor feeder on the right front side. The capacity of the system is equal to the flow rate and capacity rating for
the filter cartridges used.
Inlet and Outlet Connections
The water inlet is on the left rear side and the outlet is on the right front side. These are identified with labels. The
fitting size is 3/4” NPT (Male). A built-in check valve (non-return) is incorporated into the outlet.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow
Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use
MUST
comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
•
Protect from freezing,
remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop
below 40°F (4.4°C);
• Do not install
on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is
100°F (37.8°C).
•
Do not
install
if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
your water pressure.
•
Do not
install
where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist, you must
install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this
condition.
• Any non-metallic fittings used in the installations must be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
•
Do not
use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
• On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape
only
, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if overtight-
ening occurs.
•
Do not
install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
•
Do not
install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount
the bracket.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system (Approx. 10.5 lbs [4.8 kg]) when
installed and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable filter cartridge
MUST
be replaced every 12 months or at the rated capacity or if a noticeable
reduction in flow rate occurs.
