USE & CARE
3
Read all precautions and installation instructions carefully and completely
before installing.
Precautions
• Properly tighten all fittings to
ensure a leak-free assembly.
• NSF certified plumber's tape
(thread sealing tape) is the
only sealer that can be used on
threaded fittings.
DO NOT use
pipe dope or PVC primer/glue
on threaded fittings. Exposure
to these compounds will damage
nipples causing leaks.
• Pick an appropriate installation
location. Dimensions of systems
vary—always allow an estimated
minimum of 60” clearance for
height of tank, and a minimum
of 45” for floor space.
• This system requires installation
of a UV system.The minimum
space is 20” (above and below) to
be able to service the UV system.
• Unit must be installed in an area
where the main water line enters
your home, before connecting to
the water heater.
DO NOT install
after a water heater or on the
hot water line.
• 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.
• If installing on metallic plumbing,
two grounding clamps and #4
copper wire are essential for
safety.
• Some local codes may require the use of
a licensed plumber or certified installer
when disrupting a potable water line.
• In areas with high pressure, a pressure
relief valve and a water hammer
arrestor may be necessary.
Cleaning
The exterior of your filtration system
can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
Rinse well with fresh, clean water.
A Pre-filter is included with your system.
Sediment levels vary from one location
to another. It is recommended to replace
your Pre-Filter every 2 months. If the flow
rate has noticeably decreased, replace
your filter cartridge sooner.
