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 cut-off valve and turn it off .

  2 .   Thread the inlet and outlet valve and pressure gauge assemblies 

in to the inlet and outlet of the system . The valve and pressure 

gauge assembly with the ¼" compression connector is to be 

installed on the outlet of the system . 

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 . 

At this time also mount the two 10" remote ice filter housings 

in the same manor on the dedicated make up line to the ice 

maker . The water from the main filtration system will supply 

these remote ice filters with make up water . A plumbing tee can 

be installed between the main filter system and the remote ice 

filters so that filtered water can supply drink stations, brewing 

machines, and pot fillers BEFORE it reaches the remote ice 

filters .    

  4 .   Run a suitable line of at least 

3

4

" in diameter from the tap water 

source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of the system . Brace 

the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench when connecting 

the feed water line . 

NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNEC-

TION 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" tubing into the compression fitting on the outlet of 

the system and hold it over a drain . Open the 

1

4

" 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

drain valve, allow the system to reach operating pressure, and 

check for leaks .

  8 .   If no leaks are present, open the 

1

4

" 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 pressures in this manual .

Note:  Overtightening components can damage the system 

causing water damage and/or system failure.

Maintenance 

Routine maintenance of this system involves periodic filter changes . 

The filters should be replaced after 6 months, high pressure differen-

tial (15psi or more), or chlorine breakthrough (20,000 gallons), which 

ever 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 .

  2 .   Open the ¼" drain valve on the outlet of the system to relieve 

pressure in the housings .

  3 .   Press the red pressure relief button on the remote ice filter hous-

ings to remove the pressure from 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 dam-

age and replace if damaged or distorted .

Do not over-tighten 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" 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 .

 11 .  Record filter change date in this manual .
