GREAT WATER Elite 5 Series Installation Manual Download Page 3

∫  The system comes with a bypass, to allow the 
water to bypass the cartridges if need be.
∫  

The filter system has to be connected to the 

mains to the property before it branches off to the 
different outlets to make sure everything is 
filtered.

∫  Whenever possible, avoid including any 

reticulation systems on this filter system as this 

will cause pressure loss in the property when 

they are activated.

∫  The best place to secure the filter is on an 
outside wall in a location that is aesthetically 
acceptable to the customer.
∫  If you can find the first point of entry of the 
mains into the property that is most likely the 
best spot to put the filter and best place to cut 
the mains and divert it through the filter also.

∫  If the property is a single storey and the pipes 
run through a roof space, it might be easiest a 
neatest to cut the main up there and divert it 
down into the garage and secure the unit to the 
garage wall. Obviously then run the outlet back up 
into the roof space. Or you could drop the pipes 
through the eves and unto an outside wall if 
possible.
∫  A lot of the time you will need to cut the main 
by the water meter as that may be your only visual 
point of where the mains may be. If the location of 
the filter is not near the water meter, and there 
are no obstacles such as poured concrete or walls 
etc, you will need to dig a trench to bury some poly 
pipe under ground and connect the filter to the 
water supply.
∫  The last option is to install the unit beside the 
water meter on a stand on the ground.

HINTS & TIPS
