INSTALLING A LEAK DETECTOR VALVE
Crystal Quest Point-of-Entry Water Filters use the latest
technologies available to ensure and prevent water rupture.
However, if manufacturing guidelines are not followed, water
damage can occur. Causes of flooding include excessive water
pressure, spikes in water pressure, human tampering, and
negligent installation.
To eliminate possible water and property damage, use the
following preventative steps and devices:
1. A licensed plumber should install this unit, reading and
following the Installation and Operation Guide as well as all
notices.
2. Install a water pressure regulator/control valve inline to keep
the water inflow pressure at 60 psi or less.
3. Keep the water supple line from the extreme heat or
freezing. Temperature at unit location should be maintained
between 35F and 120F.
4. Install an inline flood prevention valve/leak control (available
at CrystalQuest.com) – instructions at right.
5. In addition to having all other safety devices, use a ball valve
to bypass the inflow of water to the system during vacation.

Leak Controllers
are specialized water alarm and shut-off systems that use sensors
to detect a water leak. The sensor sounds an alarm and then shuts off your water. The
alarm continues to sound until the valve is manually reset. By preventing continuous
water flow, mold and property damage are restricted.

- Programmable service reminder indicator
- Water detection sensitivity down to 2ppm TDS (total dissolved solids)
- 4 AA alkaline batteries
- Automatic daily valve management
- Available port sizes (inlet/outlet) 3/4 “, 1”, 1-¼” and 1-½”
