Everpure QC7I Series Installation And Operation Manual

Installation and Operation Guide

QC7I Series Water Filters

Selecting A Mounting Location

1. Give consideration to the weight of the unit when operating (filled with water).
Operating weights of the QC7I Systems are:

• Single System - 9 lbs. (4.0 kg.)

• Twin System - 19 lbs. (8.5 kg)

• Triple System - 27 lbs. (12 kg)

• Quad System - 36 lbs. (20 kg)

2. The location should allow for:

• Minimum clearance of 2-1/2" under the cartridge(s) so it can be lowered for

removal and replacement.

• Adequate space for "in" and "out" water line connections.

• Be near a drain for flushing and near a 110V outlet if the accessory (sold

separately) Everguard Low Pressure Alarm is used. See Figures 1-8.

3. If used in conjunction with the SR-X feeder, the SR-X should be mounted after the
QC7I Series Filter and as near the equipment as possible. If possible, keep at least
6" available to the left and the right of the QC7I System in the event poor quality
water conditions require the installation of the optional Everpure E-Series Prefilter.

WARNING: Do not use the MH cartridge in conjunction with the SR-X.

FLUSHING
For maximum life, all carbon filter cartridges must be flushed for five minutes at full flow before use.
ALL NEW CARTRIDGES MUST BE FLUSHED AFTER EACH CARTRIDGE CHANGE BEFORE BEING PUT INTO SERVICE!

If the cartridges are new, have been properly flushed and both needle and follower register inadequate pressure, or the LPA is
sounding, you may be experiencing inadequate water pressure or some restriction may exist in the inlet water line. In either case,
the incoming water pressure must be improved to receive optimum filter life.

COMPLETE CARTRIDGE CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND ON THE FILTER CARTRIDGE LABEL.

Temperature: 35-100°F (2-38°C)
Pressure: 10 - 125 psi (0.7 - 8.6 bar), non-shock
For cold water use only.

Installation

1. Use the predrilled mounting holes in the manifold bracket as guides. Mark and drill anchor holes. Mount securely. See Figures 5-8.

2. Shut off power to machine.

3. Connect outlet port of QC7I unit to equipment served. Always use a NSF approved pipe dope or Teflon tape at all connections.
Use a backup wrench on all fittings while connecting to avoid excessive stress on the system components.

Note: If the optional E-Series Filter is used, install a manual shut-off valve leading to the system for servicing.

4. Connect minimum 3/8" water line to inlet side of QC7I singles. Use minimum 1/2” line for other systems.

5. The cross fitting has a flushing valve installed on the bottom. Connect tubing to flushing valve and run to drain.

Note: Some municipal plumbing codes and good sanitary practices require an air gap at the drain termination point.

6. Install the cartridge(s) into the QC7I head (s) following directions on the cartridge label or as shown in the Cartridge Change illus­trations.

7. Turn on water to filter and check for leaks.

8. Flush the cartridge by running water through at full force for five minutes. This will set the filtering media and purge air and fines,
insuring maximum filter life.

9. After flushing, close the flushing valve, turn on power to equipment and plug the LPA (if so equipped) into the electrical outlet.

See

illustrations.

Cartridge Change Determination

Replace cartridges when capacity is reached, or when flow becomes inadequate, but at least annually. All cartridges on multiple car­tridge systems should be changed at the same time. The Everpure Pressure Gauge or Everguard Low Pressure Alarm provides a
quick and simple means of determining when the filter cartridge(s) should be changed. Installed on the outlet port of the filter, the
gauge or Everguard LPA can be used to measure both dynamic (flowing) and static (line) pressure. The cartridge(s) should be
changed when the pressure gauge needle is in the red area while equipment is in operation, and yet the needle shows adequate line
pressure between cycles. Observe the needle during the next equipment on cycle. If the needle registers adequate pressure, it can
be assumed that the temporary low-pressure condition was caused by a brief power failure or other incoming pressure disruption.

Replacement Parts

Contact your local Everpure dealer for filter cartridges or system
replacement parts.
