Proper Installation
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.
Precautions:
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run
for 10 minutes before using.
The filter cartridges used with this Filter System have a limited
service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered
indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Your water filtration system will withstand up to 100 psi water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi, install
a pressure reducing valve before the system is installed.
Before You Begin
Locate the main water supply line to your home and check to see what type of plumbing is in place (ex: plastic, copper, galvanized).
The main water supply line is typically located in a basement, crawlspace or garage. For cold water lines only.
Measure the diameter of the existing pipe to determine what size fittings and/or valves (not included) will be required.
Choose a location in the main su
pply line to install the Filter System. Make sure to place the Filter System in an area after the
water meter or pressure tank and before the water heater. Also select a location that will be easily accessible when changing
filter cartridges.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
STEP
Turn Off the Main Water Supply Line
NOTE: The Filter System must be installed after the water meter or pressure tank.
Turn off the main water supply line to your home.
Purge all water from the plumbing lines by turning on all faucets in your home and draining completely.
This filter must be protected
from freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter
and water leakage.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the housing be replaced every ten years. If the head of the filter has been in use for longer than
this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the top of any new head to indicate the next recommended
replacement date.

NOTE: Valves shown in diagrams are not included but
can be purchased at a local hardware store.
During filter cartridge replacement it is necessary to shut
off the water supply and purge the water lines. Adding
shut-off valves will isolate the system from the supply
line and household water. In this way, filter cartridge
replacement is faster with less mess and hassle
.

Assemble the System and Install Mounting Bracket
Dry assemble the complete system (according to the configuration chosen), including all fittings and valves.
Measure the overall length (see diagram) of the configured system.
Reduce this measurement enough to allow for the amount of engagement (X) to determine how much pipe to remove from the line.
When installing the Mounting Bracket
E , position it on top of the System Head A , aligning the bracket holes with the holes in
the System Head. Insert the four 3/4" Mounting Screws
F
through the Mounting Bracket and into the holes of the System Head
until tight.
Mark Measurements and Cut the Plumbing Pipe
Mark the section of the plumbing pipe that will need to be removed to allow for the configured system (as determined in Step 3).
NOTE: Measure twice, cut once!
Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, cut the marked section from the plumbing pipe.
NOTE: Use a pan or bucket to catch any remaining water in the pipes.
Remove any burrs or debris from the cut edges with a file.
Please wear safety glasses to protect
eyes when cutting.

Hang the Filter System Head
1 Align the System Head
A
on the pipes so that the inlet and outlet are in the correct locations. The "in" port on the System Head
should be facing the incoming water supply.
2 Allow the System Head to temporarily hang between the two cut plumbing pipes.
3 Apply plumber’s tape or appropriate sealant to the fittings and lines, according to your system configuration.
4 Make all connections and tighten fittings.
NOTE: Keep the Filter System in an upright position.
5 Attach the Mounting Bracket E to the wall using the four 2" Mounting Screws F or alternative fasteners (not included).
STEP
Hang the Filter Housing
1 Insert the Filter Cartridge B over standpipe in the bottom of the Filter Housing A .
2 Screw the Filter Housing back onto the System Head and hand-tighten. Using the Filter Housing Wrench D , tighten 1/4 turn.
NOTE: Do not over tighten.
A grounding kit (not included) must be installed on water pipes if they are
used to ground electrical systems, appliances or phones.
