Tools and Parts Needed:
Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and
follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
•
Teflon® Tape
• Adjustable Wrench
Installation Requirements:
•
Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.
•
Filter Housing is intended for use on cold water line.
•
Install in a location that is not susceptible to freezing
temperatures as damage to the housing could occur.
•
Install away from direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light
can weaken plastic components.
•
Allow a minimum of 2” (5
,
1 cm) clear space below unit to
facilitate filter change.

Installation Instructions
For Use With Cold Water Only
1. Shut off main water supply. Drain water from water lines.
2. Remove clear housing from filter head and set aside.
3. Wrap Teflon® tape (2 1/2 wraps) around the 3/4” MNPT x 1/2”
(1
,
27 cm) fitting for copper pipe in a clockwise direction (see
Figure 1) and firmly assemble into fitler head. Do not use pipe
sealant (dope), as solvents in some types of pipe dope may
cause damage to plastic fittings. Do not overtighten,
overtightening can cause damage to fitler head.
4. Calculate proper spacing of components (approximately 3/4”
(1
,
91 cm) of existing pipe inserts into each fitting). (See Figure 2.)
5. Cut pipe and clean ends of pipe. Ensure there are no burrs,
sharp edges or deep scratches.
6. Referring to “Using Push-In Fittings” section, insert pipe into
filter head fitting making sure end of pipe is firmly seated to
backstop. Connect pipe from water supply to “IN” port. (See Figure
3.)
7. Repeat Step 6 for the pipe leading from the “OUT” port to the
house. It may be necessary to carefully spread pipe apart in order
to connect pipes. Keep filter head horizontal.
8. Lubricate housing o-ring with water. Firmly screw housing, with
filter inside, to filter head. Tighten with wrench to seal properly.
9. Turn filter head valve to “FILTER” mode (see Figure 4) and
slowly turn on main water supply and check for leaks. Run water
for 5 minutes with an open faucet to flush out air.
