chamber such that the flexible connector can reach the inlet port at the bottom of the 

chamber.  Also ensure that there is at least 27” of clearance above the UV sterilizer to allow 

for lamp and sleeve removal.  Depending on the location of your outgoing water line, you 

can mount the outlet of the UV sterilizer so that its outlet port is on the right or left. 

 

Step 14. – Turn Off Water & Electric Water Heaters 

 

 

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS, PERMANENT 

DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN YOUR WATER HEATER.   

 

If you have a conventional electric water heater or an on-demand (tankless) electric water 

heater, we highly recommend that you turn off the power to the heater while installing any 

water treatment equipment.  Turn off power to your water heater now. 

 

Turn off the household main water shutoff valve.  Open several plumbing fixtures inside the 

home as well as the outside faucets to drain as much water out of the plumbing system as 

possible. 

 

Following completion of the entire installation, restore the water flow by turning on the 

household main water valve and allow all air to be purged from the plumbing system before 

turning the power back on to your water heater.   

 

Step 15. – Connect System to Inlet and Outlet Pipes 

 

The 1 inch NPT stainless steel fitting on the inlet side of the cartridge filter housing cap 

should be plumbed to your incoming water supply pipe.   

 

If within reach, this can be done with one of the flexible stainless steel connectors provided 

with your system if you have 1 inch PEX, copper, or CPVC water lines.  The non-threaded end 

of the connector can be connected directly to 1 inch diameter PEX, copper, or CPVC tubing 

by pushing the fitting on to the tubing as far as it will go.  Unlike the other John Guest® 

fittings used previously in the installation, there is no locking collet.  The black end of the 

flexible stainless steel connector threads onto the stainless steel fitting in the same way as 

you would attach a garden hose to an outdoor faucet.  Do not use Teflon® tape of other
