INSTALLATION STEPS
NOTE: All plumbing must be completed in accordance with
state and local plumbing codes. Some municipalities may
require the installation be performed by a licensed
plumber. Check with the local authority prior to installation.
A.
Install all supplied filters and membrane in the filter
module. The filters should be installed as shown below;
The filter housing on the bottom of the unit can be removed
buy turning them counter-clockwise. Once removed be sure
the O-ring that seals each housing is in the groove on the
housing sump. Unwrap the filter and install it in the housing.
Be sure the gaskets are in place on the carbon filter and DI
cartridge. Install the sumps by turning them clockwise. Be
sure not to cross thread the housing. Housings should “spin”
in to place and thread easily. If not, they may be cross
threaded. Once the housing is hand tight, tighten it an
additional 1/2-3/4 turn with the supplied filter wrench.
B.
Install the membrane in the membrane housing by
removing the 1/4” tube from the cap side of the membrane
housing. This can be done by pressing the collet down toward
the fitting, then pulling the tube out of the fitting (see page 6).
Once the cap is removed be sure that the O-rings are in place.
Unwrap the membrane and install it in the housing. Be sure
the membrane is fully seated in the housing. This can be done
by pushing on the center pipe in the membrane with the
thumb. There are two O-rings on the membrane center pipe
that must be seated in the housing. Once the membrane is
fully seated in the housing install the cap on the membrane
housing and tighten hand tight. Now re-install the 1/4” tube in
the fitting on the membrane cap by pushing the tubing in the
fitting. Be sure the tubing is pushed all the way in the fitting.
C.
Insert the supply 1/4” tubing in the “ IN” port on the
sediment filter housing on the filter module. This tube should
be supplied with soft water if possible. It is recommended that
there be a shutoff valve for this line to shut the water supply off
during maintenance endeavors.
D.
Install the 1/4” drain tube in the flow restrictor on the
filter module and run this to a drain. A proper air gap should
be maintained where applicable.
E.
Install the 3/8” product line in the “ OUT” port on the DI
cartridge housing on the filter module. This line should be
conveyed to a tank or other point of use. This line must have a
shutoff device such as a valve installed in the product line if the
supplied automatic shutoff valve (ASO) is to be used to shut
the system down. If this line is left open there is no way to shut
the system down other than a manual shutdown of the main
feed water supply valve.
F.
The system can be mounted to a wall or to the inside of
a cabinet if desired. Use the supplied “key holes” in the
bracket to mount the filter module.
