PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown source/quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
CAUTION: Filter housing must be protected against freezing temperatures, frost, snow, sleet, and ice.
Exposure to these elements can produce cracks and product failures.
CAUTION: The rubber O-Ring provides the water-tight seal between the filter head and the housing.
It is important that the O-Ring be properly seated in the O-Ring groove or a water leak will occur.
CAUTION: This product has a limited service life. We recommend that a record be kept regarding the
date of install and any other performed maintenance. In addition, the entire filter housing should be
routinely inspected for signs of stress marks, cracking, chipping, warping, and discoloration. If this
filtration system shows any of these signs of wear, the entire unit should be replaced immediately.
CAUTION: Clear housings may crack or warp over time causing failure and leakage if exposed to
organic solvents, such as those found in aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.
• For cold water use only. Do not use on hot water line or in areas where the temperature surrounding
the unit exceeds 100°F.
• Keep out of direct sunlight. UV rays can weaken the integrity of the filter housing, and also promotes
biological growth within the unit.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected cartridge are not
necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis,
or have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is recommended that the system
be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
• All filter cartridges recommended for use with this system carry a limited service life. Changes in
taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate
or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.

INSTALLATION
• Install filter after water meter or pressure tank.
• Only Teflon
®
tape is recommended for fitting connections.
• Note differences between WH-S100-O and WH-S200-C.
• Instructions are for installing 3/4˝ compression fittings (separate fittings required for other sizes
and non-copper pipe).
Turn off water supply (A) and open nearest
faucet to drain pipes before installation.
Apply about 6˝ of Teflon
®
tape (B) in clockwise
direction to pipe threads of each adapter.
IMPORTANT: When choosing location allow
1-1/2˝– 2˝ clearance below housing to allow
for filter changes.
If using optional BR-O mounting bracket (sold
separately), start by making sure the arrows
facing you on the system are consistent with the
direction of your water flow. Remove head cap
and align the holes in the bracket with the holes
in the filter head. Insert four mounting screws
through the bracket and into the filter head until
tight. Replace head cap. Otherwise skip to step 3.
If using optional BR-C mounting bracket, start by
making sure the arrows facing you on the system
are consistent with the direction of your water
flow. If necessary, remove filter life indicator
holder if on the back side of the unit, and move
it to the front. Align the holes of the bracket with
the holes on the back of the filter head. Insert four
mounting screws through the bracket and into the
filter head until tight. Otherwise skip to step 3.
Assemble all fittings. Start adapters (not
included) into filter head by hand. Use a wrench
to tighten firmly.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, cut and remove
marked section of pipe. File or sand sharp edges
on remaining pipe.
Measure overall length of configured system
with adapters attached.
Reduce this measurement enough to allow for
full engagement of the pipe into the adapters and
determine how much pipe to remove (X).
Mark section of pipe to be removed.

Align filter assembly with ends of pipe, making
certain your water flow is in the same direction as
the arrows on your filter head. It will be necessary
to spread ends of pipe apart to install filter
assembly. Using two adjustable wrenches, hold
incoming fitting securely with one wrench and
tighten nut with second wrench. Repeat process
for outgoing fitting.

* Cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage and water
conditions (one month = approximately 4000 gallons).
** The smaller the micron rating, the smaller the size particle the
cartridge will filter. For comparison purposes, the human hair
has a diameter of approximately 70 microns. Particles smaller
than 40 microns are not visible to the human eye.

with clean silicone grease and replace securely into groove. Screw housing into filter head and
hand-tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
LEAKS FROM INLET/OUTLET CONNECTIONS:
1. Turn off water supply. For brass fittings, tighten nut snugly about 1/2-turn with a wrench.
2. Turn on water supply. If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off water supply.
