Parts required
(Not Included)
(2x) Hex nipples or pipe nipples (2x) Shutoff valves (as needed)
(2x) Pipe union pressure regulators (as needed)
Pre-installation
•
Turn off the water to your house before beginning the installation. Turn off power
to your water heater before installation. Open all plumbing fixtures in the house to
drain the lines of water and pressure.
•
Lay out all the fittings and tools you will need to install the system depending on
your configuration. Be sure to use Teflon tape on threaded fittings.
•
Measure, cut, and remove the section of water line where the system is to be
installed. When determining the length of pipe to cut, account for filter width, shutoff
valves, union fittings, nipple fittings, pressure gauges (if used) and bypass valve (if used).
•
Allow the cut line to drain. Smooth the newly cut ends down to avoid jagged
points or edges.
•
A three-valve bypass valve and loop may be installed to loop the entire system to
make servicing easier.
•
The filter should be placed on the main water supply line near where it enters the
house at any point past the main shutoff valve for the whole house, but before pipes
branch off into multiple directions. However, you may choose to locate the filter after
the line branches to the inside and outside plumbing depending on your filtration
intent. Your filter should be located in a dry, level area and protected from freezing
temperatures and direct sunlight.
