B. SAFETY WARNINGS
It is important to read and understand the following safety warnings to ensure reliable service from your System.
WARNING:
All System Parts and Components must be installed in accordance with all local building and plumbing codes.
Operational
WARNING: Biological
The System is not intended for the treatment of water from an obvious contamination source (such as sew­age or wastewater).
Biolm and pathogens already present in home piping lines downstream of the System could migrate into ltered water unless the piping has been properly sanitized. All household piping and distribution lines should be sanitized prior to consuming the ltered water using proper sanitization procedures (see your local Health authority). The System owner should verify the water outlet quality at the outlet sources by having it tested by an approved or qualied water testing laboratory prior to consumption.
The System must be commissioned and maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Manual by an Authorized Service Person. Failure to properly maintain the System will compromise performance, shorten the life of the System and may lead to delivery of contaminated water. Consuming contaminated water could result in serious injury or possibly death.
The System must be installed on a cold-water supply line only. Failure to do so may cause System damage, leading to personal injury and/or physical damage.
The System has been designed and tested to oer reliable service, provided it is installed, commissioned, operated, maintained and tested in strict accordance to the safety instructions contained in this manual. Failure to properly maintain the System will compromise performance and/or result in a failure to control water quality which may lead to delivery of contaminated water. Consuming contaminated water could result in serious injury or possibly death.
To avoid System damage, ensure that a Stainless Steel Prelter or Carbon Prelter is in place during operation of the System. Failure to do so will void all warranties. In the absence of either lter, abrasive damage to the System may occur. A damaged System may permit contaminated water to enter the household distribution system causing illness or death. Irreversible and premature fouling of the System may also occur resulting in System replacement at the owner’s expense.
Cap when System is under pressure.
Do not attempt to remove System
WARNING: Winterization
The System will be damaged if frozen. The System must be winterized according to the Winterization Procedure described in this manual.
The System must be winterized prior to temperatures falling below 32°F(0°C). Failure to do so may cause the System to dry, freeze, become damaged, and will void all warranties. Operating a damaged System may lead to personal injury, and/or physical damage.
The System must be kept wet at all times after installation. Do not let the System dry for longer than 12 hours. Failure to do so may damage the System causing personal injury, physical damage, illness and/ or death and will void all warranties.
Premature fouling of the system is not covered by the warranty. After the installation of the System if any noticeable pressure drop occurs, call your local Homespring Authorized Service Person.
Except in emergencies, do not open the Bypass Valve (if applicable); Bypassing the System may contaminate water supply and water supply system.
Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after performing any servicing procedures on the System.
Do not plug the Controller transformer in the electrical receptacle if there is water on the electrical wiring or on the power supply. Dry o all components rst. ONLY OEM parts supplied by the manufacturer are to be used when installing or servicing the ltration system (System).

WARNING: Emergency Bypass
If System is equipped with a Bypass Valve, do not open Bypass Valve except in emergencies. Opening the Bypass Valve will permit potentially microbially contaminated water to enter the household water distribution system. Drinking contaminated water may cause serious illness and/or death. Do not drink the water if the System has been operated in bypass mode.
If the System has been operated in bypass mode and if the water is being drawn from a well or surface water source, the System and the household water distribution system should be disinfected again once returned to ltration mode.
If the System is in bypass mode, the Controller must be unplugged. Failure to do so may cause System to dry and become damaged, leading to personal injury, and/ or physical damage and will void all warranties.
A bypass is not required for proper operation of the System. However, some local plumbing codes may require a bypass. If a bypass is to be installed, the procedure described below is to be followed in order to provide water in an emergency or during System malfunction.
Bypass Procedure
1. Close Inlet and Outlet Valves. (If ball valves are installed, turn the handles perpendicular to the water pipe.)
2. Open Bypass Valve (If ball valve is installed, turn the handle in-line with the water pipe).
3. Unplug Controller.
To return to ltered water service:
1. Close Bypass Valve. (If ball valve is installed, turn the handle perpendicular to the water pipe.)
2. Open Inlet and Outlet Valves. (If ball valves are installed, turn the handles in-line with the water
pipe.)
3. Plug in the Controller.

C. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -
Water Inlet to the House Filtered Water to
VERTICAL
All sales, commissioning and maintenance personnel are required to participate in a Homespring Certied Technician training program to ensure that they have been trained to maintain and diagnose the system. Since the primary usage of the system is to remove bacteria, certain parasites, and certain viruses from drinking water sources, this certication program is important and mandatory for both safety and liability reasons.
All eorts must be made to ensure that installations are performed in a careful, sanitary manner for the safety of the homeowner, home occupants, and technicians.
The following section outlines the installation procedures, the tools required in the installation, and the commissioning procedures.
NOTE: The images in this manual may appear slightly dierent
than the actual system or parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
severe injury, illness, death and/or property damage, read and follow all instructions. Use only factory supplied parts, where required.
System Conguration for Standard Installations
For households on a municipal system, locate the water main, which connects the household to the municipal supply line. Usually this is near the water meter. For private pump/ pressure tank style systems, locate the outlet of the pressure tank. The system must be installed downstream of the water meter or pressure tank in order to provide treated water to the whole household.
The system is installed directly in-line with the home supply, following the water meter or pump and pressure tank.

To level the system, insert the supplied shims beneath the feet of the system base. Check with a level. Once leveled, fasten
The local plumbing code may require an air gap to be installed at the drain line.
Drain hose must be anchored down to the floor or wall and directed down into the drain
Figure 12
All systems will have a pressurized ush sequence during the cleaning cycle. Depending on the controller program selected, the system may also have a draining sequence. Refer to the Setting the Controller section for detailed information on ushing and draining cycles. The following are recommended drain line discharge set-ups for the systems.
NOTE: Drain conguration must comply with the local
plumbing codes.
For Systems That Have Only Flushing Sequences (Program
11
1 or 2):
The oor drain and/or drain hose may be raised above the drain port of the system. The entire drain line must be leak­proof, The oor drain does not have to be in the same room as
the system.
As an alternative, the system may be drained directly into a laundry tub. The laundry tub is usually above the drain port of
the system.
For Systems That Have Both Flushing and Draining
Sequences (Program 3 or 4):
The draining sequence is non-pressurized. Because the system is completely emptied under only atmospheric pressure during the draining sequence, the entire drain line, including the oor drain, must be below the drain port of the system.
NOTE: Systems installed in surface water applications must
have ushing and draining cycles.
Dedicated Trap Drain:
The trap drain must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations. Ensure that there is an adequate air gap between the drain and the main discharge line. If a dedicated trap drain is installed in a system that undergoes both draining and ushing cycles, ensure that the dedicated trap drain is below the drain port of the system.
2
The cold water pipe is often used to ground electrical outlets inside the dwelling. If grounding connection(s) to the cold water line exists downstream of the system, the grounding path might have been broken after this installation. To restore the grounding path, attach a ground wire across the inlet and outline lines of the system. Refer to the local electrical code for the ground wire gauge, ground wire material, and connection method requirements.
Installing the Controller
WARNING: To ensure personal safety
and that the internal fuse in the 24 VDC transformer is not blown during installation, install the plug from the transformer into the controller terminals labeled 24 VDC before plugging the transformer into an outlet.
1
Use the provided plastic anchor if necessary. Ensure that the controller is within the proximity of the system so that the cables can reach the drain solenoid valve and the inlet solenoid valve (for systems equipped with the surface water option kit only).

The surface water kit is purchased separately from the system. Install this kit in surface water applications.
For convenience of servicing, install the external prelter between the inlet valve and the inlet tting assembly.
The inlet solenoid valve (normally open) must be installed as part of the water inlet line and the check valve must be installed as part of the water outlet line. Refer to Step 2 in the Pipe Assembly and Installation section.
1
Mount the wall bracket to the wall.
2
Attach the external prelter head to the wall bracket
using the four supplied lag bolts.
3
Remove the plastic wrap on the external prelter
cartridge and insert the cartridge into the external prelter
housing.
15
4
Ensure that the O-ring is seated at the lip of the external prelter housing. Screw the external prelter housing into the external prelter head. Tighten the connection with the housing wrench.
5
The plumbing must be compatible with the inlet and outlet ports of the external prelter.
6
Install the mini ball valve with plug at the bottom of the external prelter housing.
When external prelter housing needs to be removed for servicing (e.g. to change the lter cartridge), close the inlet valve and depressurize the external prelter by draining the water inside. To drain the water inside, open the mini ball valve at the bottom of the external prelter housing. Depress the red button on the external lter head to speed up draining. A length of 1/4" tubing can be inserted into the port of the mini ball valve to direct water into a drain or a large pail.
NOTE: Before installing or replacing the external prelter housing on the external prelter head, inspect the O-ring to
ensure that it is clean and in good condition. Lubricate the O-ring sparingly with DOW CORNING 111 silicone lubricant.
D. commissioning - vertical
WARNING: The system must be lled
with water at all times once commissioned. Failure to do so may cause the system to dry and become damaged, resulting in personal injury, illness, and/or death.
Do not turn on any hot water taps when ushing the system during commissioning or maintenance. If hot water is used, high levels of factory preservative, chlorine, or MC1 cleaning agent may enter the hot water tank and may cause personal injury, illness, and/ or death.
Disposable protective gloves must be worn during commissioning of the system to protect your hands. At the end of the procedure, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Do not reuse gloves. Dispose of gloves in the garbage.
Filling and Flushing
WARNING: In surface water
applications, failure to install and/or properly maintain the external prelter cartridge may cause premature fouling of the system and therefore, shorten the system’s life or damage the system membrane, causing personal injury and/or death.
WARNING: If the system cap is not
properly tightened and/or the O-ring is not clean, system leaks may occur. Leaks may cause personal injury or property damage. Take care not to cross­thread the system cap during cap installation. Apply DOW CORNING 111 silicone to O-ring and threads. Spin system cap by hand until it stops. Then tighten with supplied wrench 1/2 turn. If cap leaks, turn o water and turn additional 1/4 turn. Make sure vent valve is always open 1-1/2 turns to allow trapped air to escape freely.
When the internal prelter is removed, ensure the thimble lter remains in place, seated in the spigot of the prelter cavity. Removal of the thimble lter may permit damage to the system membrane, which may lead to illness or death.
16
1
Remove the system cap and remove the internal prelter. Place the internal prelter in a clean, dry area. Ensure that the thimble lter is seated properly. Replace the system cap and tighten as described above.
For models with a stainless steel prelter, a carbon prelter may be purchased separately if desired.
Make sure vent valve is loose (1-1/2 turns).
3
Using the controller, initiate a manual ush sequence. Refer to the instructions in the Controller Functions section on how to perform a manual ush sequence. Following the manual ush, open a cold water tap that is downstream of the system. Allow water to ow for 15 minutes. The system requires a 15-minute ush to remove the food-grade factory
preservative.

Slowly open the inlet valve half way, allowing water into the system. Avoid opening the inlet valve quickly as this will introduce air pockets that will take longer to escape. Keep the outlet valve closed. Check for any leaks in the plumbing. If present, close the inlet valve immediately and repair. As pressure builds in the system air will begin to escape from the air relief valve. Once air is no longer passing through the air relief valve, the system is pressurized.

If an external prelter is installed, depress the red button on the external prelter head to allow air to escape from the external prelter housing. Once water emerges from the button, all air has been removed.
1
Ensure that the two mini ball valves are closed (to close, turn the handle perpendicular to the plug/hose end). Remove the plug from the two mini ball valves by depressing the lock ring and pulling on the plug. Insert a pressure gauge from the integrity test kit into the inlet mini ball valve, open valve and observe system pressure.
The valve is OPEN when handle is in the position shown

Figure 23
2
Close the inlet and outlet valves, leaving the inlet mini ball valve open. Using the controller, initiate a manual ush sequence to bring system pressure to zero. Refer to the instructions in the Controller Functions section under on how to perform a manual ush sequence. Once the pressure gauge registers zero pressure, stop the manual ush immediately.
3
Remove the system cap using the cap wrench. The water level should be at least 2" above the internal prelter
spigot.
If the water level is below 2", open the inlet valve slowly to raise the water level.
