NOTE:
If wall is too thin to accept screws then use round head nuts and bolts (not
supplied) to mount bracket.
Connecting the Faucet
4. Measure and cut a length from plastic tubing (1009-0) to connect faucet to the
OUTLET fitting (2554). Make sure to leave enough tube for step 6. Slide
compression nut (720-0) and compression sleeve (721-1) onto tube and put
tube insert (722-0) into tube as shown in Fig. 6. Push tube into end of adaptor
(1040-15) and hold firmly in place. Now tighten nut securely with a wrench.
Connect the other end of tubing to OUTLET fitting (2554) as shown in Fig. 4.
Installing the Self-Piercing Saddle Valve
The Saddle Valve (1008-0) can be installed on copper or CPVC rigid plastic pipe of
3/8" to 1" diameter. (Not recommended for flexible plastic pipe).
NOTE:
If your cold water line is other than described, use fittings (not included), that
adapt the pipe size to 3/8" compression or contact Envirogard for assistance.
IMPORTANT
: Orient saddle valve with outlet threads pointing towards INLET fitting
(2553) so that remaining length of tube will reach. (See Fig. 2)
5. Back off handle on saddle valve. Make sure piercing tip is flush with or slightly protruding from rubber gasket
as shown in
Fig.
5
. If it is sticking out to far gently push it against something flat to push it back in flush with the rubber gasket. With
rubber gasket in position clamp entire assembly to pipe using bolts provided. Tighten bolts, keeping brackets parallel until
rubber gasket is firmly compressed.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Do not
turn handle back in until step 9 below.
6. Measure and cut remaining length of plastic tubing to connect saddle clamp to INLET fittings (2553). Slide compression nut
(720-0) and compression sleeve (721-1) onto tube and put tube insert (722-0) into tube as shown in Fig. 6. Push tube into
end of saddle clamp fitting and hold firmly in place. Securely tighten the compression nut while holding other end of fitting
with a wrench. Connect other end of tubing to INLET fitting (2553) as shown in Fig. 4.
Starting Up
7. Remove wrapping from carbon cartridge (CF2) and ceramic cartridge (1M). Push open end (blue end cap) of CF2 over boss
of white head (inlet side). To replace sump, align the sump grooves with inlet head (2501) lugs and push straight up onto the
head. Turn the sump 1/8 turn to right to fully to stop (lock position). Insert 1M cartridge with adaptor (2560) into the second
(outlet) head by pushing upwards into head boss and twisting gently at the same time. Push sump straight up gently onto
head and turn 1/8 turn to right fully to stop (lock position).
Note:
Bottom of sump has guides to contain 1M cartridge. Sump
will not lock unless bottom of cartridge is between guides.
8. Tilt faucet handle up to constant on position.
9. Turn saddle valve clockwise until handle is seated.
YOU HAVE NOW PIERCED THE PIPE AND CLOSED THE VALVE.
Now turn valve counter clockwise all the way to open and start water flow.
10. Close faucet and check all connections for leaks. Carefully retighten any leaking fittings. It is a good idea
to check the unit a few times for slow leaks shortly after installation.
11. Flushing and conditioning: Allow water to flow for 10 minutes to flush unit then close faucet and allow unit to sit
overnight to condition. In the morning flush unit briefly before beginning service.
YOUR UNIT IS NOW IN OPERATION.
NOTE:
In some cases with low water pressure, the OUTLET sump may only partially fill due to an air block. If this
happens, turn off faucet and press top vent button until water level rises past the sealing point on sump.
NOTE:
Some carbon fines may persist for several days. These are harmless and frequent running of the unit will
clear them more quickly. Running the unit for extended periods of time will
NO
T help.
Cartridge Cleaning/Replacement Schedule
For most satisfactory operation, replace Carbon Cartridge (CF2) and clean Ceramic Cartridge (1M) every 4
months. Replace ceramic cartridge every 12 months or when cartridge gauge (703-4) can be passed over the
width of the ceramic.
Note:
Cartridges may require more frequent replacement if water contains excessive
sediment. Clean ceramic whenever flow rate slows to an unacceptable level.
Cleaning 1M Ceramic Cartridge
1.
Close saddle valve by turning clockwise and open faucet to relieve pressure in filter. Press vent buttons on top
of both heads. Cont.
