Carbon Filter Installation Instructions
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are avail-
able. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up
heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced.
LOCATION OF FILTER AND DRAIN: The filter should be located close to a drain to prevent air breaks and back flow.
BY
-
PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by
-
pass valve if unit is not equipped with one.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 125 psi, water temperature is not to exceed 110°F, and the unit can-
not be subjected to freezing conditions.
1.
Place the filter tanks where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a firm base.
2.
During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to room temperature before operating.
3.
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for residential drain
line should be a minimum of 1/2". Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ re-
quire 3/4" drain line. Commercial drain lines should be the same size as the drain line flow control.
4.
The inlet on the bypass valve is indicated by an arrow that will point toward the valve. The outlet will be
indicated by an arrow pointing away from the valve.
5.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control fitting (DLFC).
Leave at least 6" between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the DLFC.
Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the DLFC.
6.
Chose the plumbing connectors and install them in the bypass valve. Remove the red clip and insert the
connector. Re
-
install the red clip to secure the connector.
7.
On units with a by
-
pass, place in by
-
pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold water tap near-
by and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign material (usually solder) that may have re-
sulted from the installation. Once clean, close the water tap.
8.
Slowly
place the by
-
pass in service position and let water flow into the media tank until the water flow stops.
