PRECAUTIONS

When installing:
•   Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a 

leak-free assembly.

•   Be sure to sweat any fittings away 

from filter housing.

•   Allow a minimum of 2-1/2" clear space 

below unit to facilitate filter change.

•   Pipe and filter need to be properly 

supported with pipe hangers.

•   If installing on metallic plumbing with 

two grounding clamps and #4 copper 
wire are essential for safety.

Before installing:
•   Do not install this filtration system 

where the line pressure may exceed 
100 psi. The operating pressure range 
for this filtration system is between 
25 psi – 100 psi.

•   Install on cold water lines only 

(40° – 100°F).

•   Protect unit from freezing.

•   It is recommended your system be 

installed indoors and out of direct 
sunlight. Prolonged exposure to light 
can weaken plastic components, 
resulting in filter housing failure. If 
this is not possible and the system is 
outdoors or in a sunny area, the unit 
must be protected from both direct 
sunlight and freezing temperatures.

•   Do not install the unit on its side. It 

must be installed upright to maximize 
contact with media bed.

•   Installation of the filtration system 

must comply with existing state and 
local plumbing codes. A. O. Smith 
and its manufacturer is not liable for 
consequential or incidental damages 
due to improper installation. 

•   Some local codes may require the 

use of a licensed plumber or certified 
installer when disrupting a potable 
water line.

•   Due to the varieties of home design, 

not all installation configurations can 
be addressed in this guide.

•   Improper sequence of equipment will 

affect performance and could damage 
your system.

READ ALL PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. 

Do not use with water that is microbiologically 
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate 
disinfection before or after the  system.

Ensure operating pressures are within filter 
housing specifications. Some installations may 
require a pressure reducer installed before filter 
system to reduce operating pressures.
For use with cold water only.
