Carbon Filter Installation Instructions
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 20 pounds of water pressure is required for regeneration valve to operate effectively.
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C) supply is required. Note: Other voltages are avail-
able. Please make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before installation.
EXISTING PLUMBING: Condition of existing plumbing should be free from lime and iron buildup. Piping that is built up
heavily with lime and/or iron should be replaced.
LOCATION OF FILTER AND DRAIN: The filter should be located close to a drain to prevent air breaks and back flow.
BY-PASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve if unit is not equipped with one.
CAUTION: Water pressure is not to exceed 125 psi, water temperature is not to exceed 110°F, and the unit can-
not be subjected to freezing conditions.
1. Place the filter tank where you want to install the unit making sure the unit is level and on a
firm base.
2. During cold weather, the installer should warm the valve to room temperature before operat-
ing.
3. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for
residential drain line should be a minimum of 1/2". Backwash flow rates in excess of 7
gpm or length in excess of 20’ require 3/4" drain line. Commercial drain lines should be
the same size as the drain line flow control.
4. The inlet on the bypass valve is indicated by an arrow that will point toward the valve.
The outlet will be indicated by an arrow pointing away from the valve.
5. Lubricate the distributor o-ring seal and tank "o" ring seal. Place the main control valve on
tank. Note: Only use silicone lubricant.
6. Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the Drain Line Flow Control
fitting (DLFC). Leave at least 6" between the DLFC and solder joints when soldering pipes
that are connected on the DLFC. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the
DLFC.
7. Teflon tape is the only sealant to be used on the drain fitting.
8. On units with a by-pass, place in by-pass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a
cold water tap nearby and let run a few minutes or until the system is free from foreign ma-
terial (usually solder) that may have resulted from the installation. Once clean, close the wa-
ter tap.
9. Slowly place the by-pass in service position and let water flow into the media tank until the
water flow stops.
10. Plug unit into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected accord-
ing to local codes. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted).
