Installation PrecautionsInstallation Precautions
What to know prior to Installation:
Selecto water treatment systems are not to be used where water is microbiologically
unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before unit.
Do not install where water pressure is outside of 40 - 125 psi, or where temperature is
lower than 40 F or exceeds 100 F.
Installation must comply with any existing state or local plumbing codes.
The unit must be protected against freezing. Failure to do so may result in cracking of
the filter and water leakage.
The Selecto water treatment system is designed for cold water use only. Passing hot
water through the system may seriously damage the filter housing.
Filter must be in contact with water at all times.
Recommended pH range is 6 to 8.5
Recommented inlet pressure is 60 psi.
Tools needed for installation: drill, screw driver, tubing cutter,(If hard plumbing: lead
free solder, heating device, and flux.)

Unpacking:
Remove filter system from package and inspect for shipping damage. Notify shipping
company immediately if damaged.
Carefully lift filter system using proper lifting techniques (using your legs, not your back)
from the box and inspect thouroughly.
Dispose of shipping materials so as not to create a tripping hazard during installation.
Positioning Water Filter
The water filter should be mounted upright on a horizontal surface without obstructions.
Locate a position that is close to the water faucet or equipment it will be supplying water
to (water cooler) where it is out of the way of day to day activity and where it is accessable
for cartridge change when needed. Position the filter high enough to allow you to pull
down cartridge for replacement. (4” is enough under the sink. You may allow more room
if you are mounting on a wall beside a water cooler.)
