• System must be installed in a vertical, upright and level position.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown water quality .
Installation Precautions
• Do not install system on line pressure above the rated pressure as
noted in System Specifications above .
• Do not install the system on a hot water line. Failure to limit the
water temperature to 100°F (38
°
C) can result in housing failure and
property damage .
• Do not connect the system backwards with the feed water line
connected to the outlet .
• Do not use liquid pipe thread compounds for threaded
connections . Use Teflon
®
tape only .
• Do not solder plumbing connections that are attached to the
housings or inlet/outlet fittings . System damage may occur due to
high temperature .
• Do not allow the system to freeze. Turn off water supply and drain
the system if temperature falls below 32°F (0
°
C) .
• Do not install system in direct sunlight or where the system will be
exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being hit by
moving equipment, carts, mops, or any other item that may cause
damage .
• Allow 3" (76mm) minimum clearance under the housings for filter
replacement .
• If water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before
the system .
• Do not over tighten fitting connections.
• Always back up valves and fittings with a wrench when installing
fittings to avoid over tightening or loosening existing fittings .
• Do not install the unit behind equipment where it may be difficult to
access the system for future filter replacements .
Position the system in a suitable location . The direction of flow
through the system is left to right . Keep this in mind when determin-
ing installation locations . Do not mount the system near any source
of heat . Also do not mount this system over anything that may be
adversely affected by water .
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
NOTICE
There is some light field assembly required for this system.
Before beginning the installation of this system, please make
sure all components are present. Compare the contents of this
box to the system drawings located at the end of this manual.
As illustrated by the drawings, not all systems utilize pressure
gauges. These drawings will be referenced in the installation
instruction steps.
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 assemblies
and pressure gauges (if supplied for your model) .
DO NOT USE PASTE
TYPE THREAD SEALANT.
Thread the inlet and outlet valve assemblies
into the inlet and outlet ports of the system as shown on the system
drawings in this manual . Install the pressure gauges, if applicable, into
the gauge ports as indicated by the system drawings in this manual .
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE FITTINGS INTO THE FILTER HEADS.
When installing fittings onto this system, back any existing receiving fittings
with a wrench to prevent fitting movement . Use a wrench to tighten gauges
into their connection ports . Do not twist on gauge case .
3 . Install the filters into the filter manifold . Make sure all plastic wrapping
and protective plastic caps have been removed from the filters prior to
their installation . Insert the prefilter into its blue canister . Make sure the
blue canister's oring is properly inserted into its oring groove . Thread the
housing onto the head with standard clockwise rotation (when viewed
from below) . Hand tighten the blue housing (Not all systems will have
a blue prefilter . See the system drawings in this manual for proper filter
placement) . Then install the QT style filter cartridges . To install these
filters, push them into the heads and give them a quarter twist (clockwise
when viewed from below) . When the filter is completely inserted, the
cartridge label will be front centered .
4 . Anchor the system on a wall stud or suitable mounting material
spanning wall studs . System must be vertical, upright and
level . The mounting hardware used must be selected and
installed so that the system is firmly pressed against the
mounting surface . The system mounting hardware must keep
the system from moving during routine service and operation .
5 . Run a suitable line 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 .
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO
BALL VALVE.
6 . Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed,
and connect it to the outlet ball valve of the system .
NOTICE
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL
VALVE.
7 . 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 .
8 . Once all inlet and outlet piping has been completed, check and
make sure all filter housing(s) are tight, slowly open the inlet valve
and allow all air to purge from the system through the 1/4"
tubing . Slowly close the
1
⁄
4
" (8mm) drain valve, allow the system
to reach operating pressure, and check for leaks .
9 . 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 .
10 . Open the outlet water valve and check for leaks .
11 . Record the start up date and pressure gauge values in system
maintenance log .
NOTICE
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
WARNING
!
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" drain valve on the outlet of the system to relieve
pressure in the housings .
4 . Remove all filters . The blue prefilter housing unscrews to the left when
viewed from underneath . It has a standard right hand thread . The QT
style filters are removed by rotating them 1/4 turn to the left and then
gently pulling down .
