Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply untreated water to the
inlet of the water filter and to the outside faucets.
Cut the water line between where it enters the house and before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other fixtures in the house and as near the desired
location of the water filter as possible. Install a tee fitting on the feed end of the cut pipe, and an elbow fitting on the other end. Install piping from the tee to the inlet of the
water filter and from the elbow to the outlet of the filter. To sever the water lines which branch off to feed any outside faucets, cut the branch lines approximately two inches
from the fitting on the main water line. Install an elbow on the end of the pipe nearest the outside faucet and a cap on the end connected to the existing water line. Install
piping from the tee installed on the inlet line to the water filter to the elbow installed on the pipe to the outside faucet. Following this procedure will result in all lines in the
house, with the exception of the outside faucets, but including the water heater and therefore the hot water lines, being supplied with treated water.
NOTICE:
Inspect and check that the
brine line plug is connected
to the valve.

Ensure that the brass and plastic
nut connected to the air check

Make sure the bypass is attached well to the control valve. Connect the straight or elbow
connectors to the bypass with red clips. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water filter to
the plumbing of the house. The control valve must not be submitted to temperatures above
43°C (110°F). When sweat fittings are used, to avoid damaging the control valve, solder the
threaded copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using Teflon tape, screw the assembly
into the bypass valve.
Do not use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the valve body.

Drain Line connection:
Using Teflon tape,
screw the 1/2” hose barb and attach oring into
the drain port in the valve. Attach 1/2” drain
hose (Supplied with some models and brands)
to the hose barb and tighten securely with a
hose clamp (Supplied with some models and
brands).
Run the drain line to a floor drain or a laundry
drain. Complete any necessary plumbing.
