Operation
With sufficient pressure, operation of this system is completely auto-
matic . Dependable operation involves only monitoring system pres-
sure differential, periodic filter changes, and service documentation .
Installation
* Please note: All cartridge filters are preinstalled, in the
housings, at the factory.
1 . Turn off all equipment to be fed by the system, locate the water
supply shutoff valve and turn it off .
2 . Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the inlet and outlet valve and
pressure gauge assemblies . Thread the inlet and outlet valve
and pressure gauge assemblies into the inlet and outlet of the
system . The valve and pressure gauge assembly with the 1/4"
(8mm) Quick-Connect flush valve fitting is to be installed on the
outlet of the system .
See the drawings on page 4 and 5 of this manual for proper
valve and pressure gauge assembly placement .
NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE FITTINGS INTO THE
FILTER HEADS.
3 . Anchor the system on a wall stud or suitable mounting material
spanning wall studs . System must be vertical, upright and level .
4 . Run a suitable line from the tap water source to the inlet ball
valve on the left side of the system . Slimline models require 3/8
"
(10mm) NPT fittings, Big Blue models require 3/4" (20mm) NPT
fittings . Brace the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench
when connecting the feed water line . NOTE: DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE.
5. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed,
and connect it to the outlet ball valve of the system .
NOTE: DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO
BALL VALVE.
6 . Install the ¼" (8mm) tubing into the Quick-Connect fitting on the
outlet of the system and hold it over a drain . Open the
1
⁄
4
" (8mm)
drain valve .
7 . Once all inlet and outlet piping has been completed, check and
make sure all filter housing are tight, slowly open the inlet valve
and allow all air to purge from the system . Slowly close the
1
⁄
4
"
(8mm) drain valve, allow the system to reach operating pressure,
and check for leaks .
8 . If no leaks are present, open the 1 ⁄
4
" (8mm) drain line again and
allow it to run to drain for 5 minutes to flush the system then
close the valve .
9 . Open the outlet water valve and check for leaks .
10 . Record the start up date and pressure gauge values in system
maintenance log .
Note: Overtightening components can damage the system
causing water damage and/or system failure.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance of this system involves periodic filter changes .
Filter cartridges should be changed at end of filter life, due to lack of
filtering performance, or whenever a 15 psi pressure drop or greater
is experienced during normal operation, whichever comes first .
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure
IMPORTANT: Determine whether all equipment connected to
the system must be turned off prior to shutting off water supply
from filters.
1 . If required, turn off downstream equipment .
2 . Turn OFF water to the system by closing the inlet and outlet ball
valves .
3 . Open the ¼" (8mm) drain valve on the outlet of the system to
relieve pressure in the housings .
4 . Remove housings by unscrewing them . They have a standard
right hand thread .
5 . Clean inside of housing sump with warm water . If desired, disin-
fect housing using a teaspoon of household bleach . Add to filter
bowl and fill with water . Let stand 5 minutes and then discard
and rinse .
6 . Insert new cartridges into filter housings .
7 . Make certain the O-ring is properly positioned and reinstall filter
housings . Tighten housings hand tight . Check O-ring for
damage and replace if damaged or distorted .
Do not overtighten filter housing, overtightening may damage
O-ring(s), cause water leaks, or affect system performance.
8 . Slightly open the inlet ball valve and fully open the ¼" (8mm)
drain valve . Once full flow of water flows from the drain port,
slowly open the inlet valve to the full open position . Allow water
to flush to drain for 5 minutes .
9 . Slowly close the drain valve and check the system for leaks .
10 . Slowly open the outlet valve to restore water flow to downstream
equipment .
