Installation Instructions

1. KEEP THE UNIT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AT ALL TIMES.

2. Remove the red shipping caps from the inlet & outlet ports on the main housing.

3. Precondition the unit by “surge ushing”: It is very important

that this system is ushed properly prior to nal installation.
The granular carbon media used in the bottom tank contains
1-2% by volume of carbon nes that should be ushed out
prior to use. The best method for purging these carbon nes
from the media bed is “surge ushing”:

Using the supplied adapter, connect a garden hose to the

inlet port so that the water will ow into the system and out
of the outlet port. Slowly turn on the water and allow the
discolored water to ow from the outlet into a bucket or
drain. The rst few gallons will appear black and cloudy due
to carbon nes. After an initial 2-5 minute ushing, begin a
period of “surge ushing.” Turn the water supply on for 30
seconds and then off for 30 seconds repeatedly for 5-10
minutes or until initial surge of water is completely clear and
free from discoloration and cloudiness. Once the unit has
been properly ushed, be sure the white washers are properly
set inside the inlet and outlet ports. Disconnect it from the
garden hose and position it for nal installation.

4. Turn off main source water supply prior to installation.

5. Install the unit to the main water supply using the supplied components. Do not

over tighten ttings, as this may cause leakage and broken ttings. Do NOT use
pipe dope. The use of pipe dope voids the warranty. You may use NSF-certied
pipe primer, glue and teon tape. Leave two-three threads exposed and do not
exceed seven layers of teon tape. More than seven layers will cause the nipple
to crack and leak.

6. IMPORTANT: The inlet piping assembly (valve, pre-lter, main lter unit, union

and nipples) must be rmly braced and supported.

7. Once installation is complete, slowly turn the water on and inspect for leaks.

8. Once the unit is installed and checked for leaks, open the water faucet closest
to the installed unit and allow water to run for 5-10 minutes for the nal
ushing period.

THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED
