OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 
WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM    

o

Assemble the support bracket onto the cartridge filter (B) (blue canister).

o

Position  the  cartridge  filter  (B)  and  the  Softener  filter  (A)  (big  cylindrical
vessel)  beside  each  other,  in  a  way  the  PVC  lines  match,  following  the
system layout shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3.

o

Connect item #3R /4L (Right or Left installation)to the back of the 5000SE
valve  (see  Figure  1)  on  the  Softener  filter  (A)  using  the  connection  pins.
Make sure you insert firmly before attempting to insert the pins.

o

Screw  cartridge  filter  (B)  support  bracket  onto  the  wall  (screws  not
included).

o

Proceed  to  connect  items  #1  through  #6  in  order,  following  the  above
system layout, strapping the pipe (item #6-R/#2-L) to the wall using the wall
mounts  included.  Make  sure  you  initially  support  the  cartridge  filter
minimizing any weight or pressure onto the connecting pipes.

Note: It is important to assure your pipes are completely aligned prior to
closing the threaded unions, otherwise you will not have a good seal, and
will  create  leakage.  Make  sure  you  do  not  overtight  the  union  with  a
wrench.  This  can  break  the  union,  and  will  require  to  replace  the  piece.
For  best  results  and  to  minimize  risk  of  leakage,  apply  silicon  ointment
(such as Dupont Molykote, 111 Compound) on the union gasket prior to
threading closed the union.

o

Brine  tank  (C)  should  be  placed  near  the  softener  filter  (A),  and  be
accessible  for  easy  filling  access  of  salt  as  required.  Overflow  line  on  top
side of brine tank should be routed to your house drain, assuring any case
of  spill  is  drained  out  without  causing  damage.  The  black  flexible  pipe
connected  to  the  right  side  of  the  5000SE  valve  (see  Figure  1),  should  be
introduced  to  the  brine  tank  through  the  white  hole,  making  sure  it  is
connected to the down pipe located inside the white pipe fixed to the inner
part of the brine tank.

o

In  case  a  UV  disinfection  system  (D)  is  purchased,  PVC  fittings  from
installation kit item #5-R or item #6-L will be replaced with item #5A, #5B or
item #6A, #6B respectively.

o

Mount  the  UV  light  (D)  to  the  wall  with  the  two  wall  mounting  saddles
included.

Note:  Be  careful  when  working  with  the  UV  light  as  bulb  is  VERY  fragile
and may break.
