Installation Precautions
•
Do NOT install system on line pressure above 90 psi.
•
Do NOT install system on HOT water line. Failure to limit
line temperature to 100°F may result in housing failure
and damage.
•
Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water
line connected to the outlet.
•
Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections.
USE two to three wraps of Teflon
®
tape.
•
Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to filter
housing or inlet valve. Inlet valve and filter housing will be
damaged by high temperature.
•
Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to
housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 40°F.
•
Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is
exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being
struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item
that may cause damage.
•
ALLOW a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for
filter replacement.
•
IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors
before the PeakFlowE
TM
unit.
•
Do NOT overtighten fitting connections into inlet valve
or housing outlet.
•
Always back-up valves and fittings with a wrench when
installing a fitting to avoid turning the valve.
•
Do NOT install the unit behind equipment where it may
be difficult to access the system for filter replacement.
Position the PeakFlowE
TM
unit in a suitable location. The direction
of flow through the PeakFlowE
TM
unit is always through the inlet
first; keep this in mind when determining installation location.
Do NOT mount the PeakFlowE
TM
system near any source of heat.
Also, do not mount the system above any device or area that
would be adversely effected by water.

**PeakFlowE + media does not reduce silica scaling. While silica
tends to have a less significant effect on scale formation than
other minerals, it can act as a binder that makes water spots
and scale residue outside the plumbing system difficult to
remove.
* High levels of copper that originate from new copper plumbing
can foul the PeakFlowE media. After the installation of a new
copper plumbing system, wait a minimum of 4 weeks before
using the PeakFlowE
TM
system. Avoid applying excess flux on
the inner surfaces of the pipe and use a low-corrosivity water
soluble flux listed under the ASTM B813 standard.
