System Specifications
Maximum Pressure: 125 psi/8.6 bar
Maximum Temperature: 100°F/38°C, Min.: 35°F/2°C
Capacity: Change the CTO (pre-filter) cartridge at gallon rating, or at least every 6 months or when pressure gauge
needle enters the red zone on the outlet gauge while water is flowing through the filter system under normal operating
conditions. The SCLX2 cartridge does not have a grain removal capacity; however, naturally occurring organics pres-
ent in the water will gradually degrade the effectiveness of this cartridge. Change the SCLX2 cartridge at least once
a year.
Installation Precautions
• Do NOT install system on line pressure above 125 psi.
• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of teflon tape.
• Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to filter housing or inlet valve. Inlet valve and filter housing will
be damaged by high temperature.
•
Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 32°F.
• Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals, or where it may be
subjected to being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item that may cause damage.
• ALLOW a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for filter replacement.
