Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures, Cont.
G.
For most installations, install the appliance after the pressure tank or water meter and before
the water heater unless otherwise recommended. When installing the 900CF Carbon Filter
for well water, place the filter after any water softener appliance unless otherwise
recommended. Contact the HelpLine for further assistance in determining the proper
installation sequence.
Water Heaters:
If less than 10 feet (3.0 m) of pipe connects the water treatment appliance(s)
to the water heater, install a check valve between the water treatment appliance and the
water heater as close to the water heater as possible. Ensure that the water heater has an
adequately rated temperature and pressure safety relief valve.
H.
For outside installations, the appliance should be enclosed so it is protected from the
weather.

Qest fittings are provided to facilitate installation, but their

, if using PVC/CPVC.
Step 4A: Using Qest Fittings
A.
Lift and remove the valve cover. (Lift back first)
B.
Install Qest fittings. Qest connection fittings are
provided with your appliance. Qest fittings provide a
convenient, easy-to-use three-piece assembly for
3/4-inch copper plumbing or 3/4-inch CTS CPVC
plastic tubing (copper is shown in Figure 2). Ensure
that the three components (1: collar, 2: metal retaining
ring, and 3: nylon sleeve) are correctly installed in
sequence on the pipe. (See Figure 2.)
Note:
Teflon tape or plumber’s putty is NOT necessary
and should NOT be used with Qest fittings.
C.
Attach the water lines to the appliance in compliance
with all applicable building, plumbing, and electrical
codes. (See Figure 3.) Do NOT overtighten the
connections on the plastic threads.
D.
Check the arrows on the bypass valve to ensure that
the water flows in the proper direction.
Caution: Do NOT plumb your appliance in
backward.
