Installation Instructions

1. Verify the water main has been shut off.
2. Using a stud finder, attach mounting bracket to the studs in the wall.
3. Remove the system from package. Remove the filter and cartridge from the housing. Be sure to check inside the system for loose foam,
plastic, or package contents.
4. With the filter side of the head near the inlet pipe, install the system by attaching the head to the mounting bracket. Ensure that the
system is installed vertically with the blue head at the top of the system. Do not invert the system.
5. If needed install a pressure regulator (E) ahead of the NuvoH2O system. Set for 45-65 PSI. A pressure spike, though unlikely, can still
damage the system if it is not protected and potentially result in leaks.
6. Install a bypass. See the diagram below.
7. Use 3-4 wraps of Teflon tape to seal the connections.
8. Use flexible hoses to connect the inlet pipe to the inlet port on the system head and connect the outlet port of the system head to the
outlet pipe. Failure to use flexible hoses may result in water leakage.
9. Lubricate (included) the O-rings at the top of the housing sump.
10. Remove the protective plastic wrap from the cartridge and filters before inserting back into housing.
11. Insert and seat the cartridge and filter into the sump. Water softening cartridge: the small, round holes on the side of the cartridge must
be at the top. See the cartridge replacement instructions for more details.
12. One at a time, attach sumps (now with the filter and cartridge inside) to head by rotating the collar counterclockwise. Secure with the
wrench provided.
13. Loosen the pressure release valves on the top of the heads using a screwdriver. Do NOT remove the pressure release valves
14. Open the first bypass valve (A), allowing the sumps to fill with water. When water leaks from the pressure release valves at the top of
the heads, tighten to close (B). Do not overtighten.
15. Close the first bypass valve (A), allow cartridge to sit in the housing without water flow. After one hour open for main valve (C), thus
allowing water to flow throughout the household while the filter and cartridge sit idle.
16. After one hour, close the top bypass valve (C) and slowly open the first and last bypass valves (A & D), allowing water to flow through
the system.
