1. INSTALL INLET AND OUTLET FITTINGS
Note:
All fittings are on the small parts skin pack.
a.
Insert the turbine support, into the valve outlet
port, up to the shoulder.
NOTE:
If installing the EcoWater bypass valve,
see separate instructions included with it.
b.
Slide a lubricated o--ring onto one of the copper
tubes. Carefully insert the copper tube into the outlet
port (figure 4) and secure in place with a plastic “C”
clip.
Note:
For lubrication, use silicone grease approved
for use on potable water supplies.
c.
Repeat step b on the inlet side.
2. TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY
a.
Close the main water supply valve, near well
pump or water meter.
b.
Shut off the electricity or fuel supply to the water
heater.
c.
Open high and low faucets to drain all water from
hose pipes.
3. INSTALLING 3--VALVE BYPASS
If installing a 3--valve bypass system, plumb as
needed, using FIGURE 2 as a guide. If installing
sweat copper, be sure to USE LEAD--FREE SOL-
DER as required by federal and State codes. Use
pipe joint compound on outside pipe threads.
4. MOVE FILTER INTO PLACE
Move the filter into the installation position, setting
on a solid. smooth and level surface. If needed,
place the filter on a section of 3/4”plywood. Then
shim under the plywood to level the filter FIGURE 5.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PLACE SHIMS DIRECTLY
UNDER THE SHROUD. The weight of the tank may
cause the shroud to fracture at the shim.
5. ASSEMBLE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING
Measure, cut and loosely assemble pipe and fittings
from the main water pipe (or from bypass valves
installed in step 3), to the filter inlet and outlet copper
tubes.
BE SURE UNFILTERED WATER SUPPLY PIPE
GOES TO THE FILTER INLET SIDE. Trace the wa-
ter flow direction to be sure.
