PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

SMARTAP® WATER FLOW MONITOR

The optional Smartap® Monitor indicates filter cartridge status by measuring the volume of water passing through the 104

Series Advanced Multi-Stage Water Treatment System. When water is dispensed, it flows through the system actuating the

monitor and recording the elapsed time for each dispense. Monitor indication is based on the cumulative number of

gallons passed through the system (elapsed time multiplied by flow rate). A green light indicates filters are functioning

normally. A yellow light indicates filters are nearing useful capacity and should be replaced. Power is provided by nine-volt

alkaline battery. Disconnecting the battery from the clip resets the Monitor. Installing a new battery each time filter

cartridges are replaced ensures an accurate indication of system performance and a continuing supply of high quality

drinking water.

PUSH BUTTON ACTUATED SMARTAP® FLOW MONITOR

A light illuminates when the test button is pressed.

Push Button Actuator and Indicator Lights are located on the Manifold Cover.

FAUCET ACTUATED SMARTAP® FLOW MONITOR

A light illuminates in a Light Bar each time a faucet or additional point-of-use device is activated. Light Bar Assembly is located at faucet base (Stainless Steel) or front of faucet body (Polymer).

To prolong battery life, the monitor indicator lights extinguish after a few seconds, even if water is being dispensed.

NOTE: Monitor Indicators and Common Solutions are found in Table 3, Page 13.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION

This 104 Series Advanced Multi-Stage Water Treatment System is designed for ease of installation and serviceability.

It is constructed with the finest materials available.

Using these instructions and paying close attention to parameters outlined within "CONDITIONS FOR USE" detailed on

Page II will ensure a successful installation.

This system must be installed in accordance with applicable city, state, and local plumbing codes.

To insure the system continues to operate at its optimum level,

it is necessary to have a routine maintenance and replacement schedule (Page 10).

The frequency at which filters need changing will depend on quality of feed water supply and level of system usage.

PREPARATION

1. Check that all appropriate components are packed with your system (Page II, Figure 1). Refer to applicable Component Parts Breakdown (Figure 7, 9, or 10) for a complete list of its constituent parts.

PRODUCT WATER FAUCET FILTRATION MODULE

Faucet may be installed in any convenient location.

Make sure underside of location is free of obstructions.

* DO NOT PLACE MODULE WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING AND/OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Mount Module on side of cabinet using bracket (attached to Module) and two screws provided in the Installation Kit.

HOLD THE MODULE BY THE FILTER HOUSINGS WHEN PICKING UP OR CARRYING THE UNIT

Table 2 Component Location Requirements

2. Determine locations for component installation. Two requirements for consideration are: access to cold water supply line and to household sink. Specific requirements are detailed in Table 2.

Module may be installed under a sink or in any convenient

location. within 15 feet of source water supply and faucet

NOTE

THIS DRINKING WATER SYSTEM IS FOR USE ON POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES ONLY.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS PLUMBING CODES 248 CMR SHALL BE ADHERED TO.

CONSULT WITH YOUR LICENSED PLUMBER FOR INSTALLATION OF THIS SYSTEM.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN

QUALITY WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.

SYSTEMS CERTIFIED FOR CYST REDUCTION MAY BE USED

ON DISINFECTED WATER THAT MAY CONTAIN FILTERABLE CYSTS.

IF SIGNIFICANT INLET WATER PRESSURE DIFFERENTIALS OCCUR, PRESSURE REGULATOR MUST BE USED.

III

INTER-COMPONENT CONNECTIONS

Connections between the cold water supply line, filtration unit, product water faucet, and optional accessories are accomplished using plastic tubing and push-together quick-connect type fittings.

PLASTIC TUBING

1. Cut tube ends square and straight. Do not deform the tube (i.e., cause tube to compress its diameter so it is no longer round).

2. Make sure the outer surface of the tube is clear of marks or scratches for a length equal to twice the tube diameter. This allows the "O" ring to seat properly against the tube.

3. Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing the tubing. Sharp turns cause the tubing to flex and deform which reduces its flow capacity and may increase lateral stress on the fittings, causing leaks.

QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS

Fittings consist of two parts: a Body and a colored Collet. The Collet color corresponds to the tubing color to be used at that connection (See Figure 2A.).

1. To install a tube, push it through Collet until it seats firmly at bottom of fitting (Figures 2.A. and 2.B.).

2. To remove a tube, push and hold the Collet against the Body while pulling the tube out (Figure 2.C.).

NOTE: Systems are shipped with a plug in each fitting

(prevents leakage of sanitizing fluid). Remove a plug in the same manner as a tube.

A. Push tube through Collet into Body B. Tube must seat firmly at bottom of fitting C. Push Collet against Body to release tube

Figure 2 How to Use Quick-Connect Fittings

SADDLE-TAPPING VALVE INSTALLATION ON COPPER TUBE

CAUTION: This saddle-tapping valve is not designed for installation on flex line tubing.

NOTE: State and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle-tapping valves.

1. CAUTION: If no shut off valve is installed under sink, close main water valve during this Installation.

4. Connect source water feed tubing to valve body using compression fitting.

Locate shut off valves on water lines under sink. To

identify hot supply pipe and cold supply pipe, turn both faucets on and let water run. As water flows, hot water pipe becomes noticeably warmer.

2. CAUTION: Do not install feed water assembly on hot water line.

Turn off cold water supply by closing shut off valve.

Drain line by opening sink faucet. Some mixing type faucets may require hot water supply be shut off as well.

NOTE: All instructions refer to components shown in Figure 3 unless otherwise noted.

3. CAUTION: Do not turn valve handle before or while installing saddle-tapping valve. Make sure piercing lance does not protrude beyond rubber gasket before installing valve.

Assemble saddle-tapping valve assembly on tube.

a. Hold back plate against tube.

• 3/8" copper tubing use back plate smaller radius.

• 1/2" copper tubing, use back plate larger radius

b. Hold valve saddle against tubing in a position directly opposite back plate.

c. Tighten screw enough so valve saddle and back plate are held securely against tube.

d. Rotate assembly so tubing connection is aligned

toward 104 Series Module feed port.

e. Tighten screw firmly. Do not crush tube.

a. Slide nut and sleeve onto tubing (in that order).

b. Install insert into plastic tubing.

c. Install tube with insert and sleeve into valve body.

d. Thread compression nut onto valve body, tighten.

5. Turn saddle-tapping valve handle clockwise until it is firmly seated and piercing lance is fully extended.

6. CAUTION: Supply line is pierced and valve is closed. Do not open valve until system is activated (Page 10).

Turn on cold water supply. Check saddle-tapping

valve installation for leaks. Allow water to run from faucet for a few minutes to clear any debris in the line

caused by installation.

NOTE: If flow from sink faucet is reduced, clean

faucet aerator.

ADDITIONAL POINT OF USE CONNECTION

NOTE: Icemakers typically use 1/4" tubing as feed line. Use a reducing union (P/N 33503407) for this connection.

NOTE: Reduce the 3/8” Line to 1/4” as close as possible to the additional point-of use device to minimize flow loss.

1. To connect an additional point of use (icemaker, extra faucet in wet bar and/or another use for treated water), place a "tee" connector (P/N 33503703) in 3/8" blue line between faucet and back of 104 Series Module.

2. Connect "tee" to point-of-use with 3/8" blue tubing (P/N 60602001). Connect tubing to point-of-use. Connector requirements are based on type of delivery device i.e., a typical icemaker uses 3/8" x 1/4" reducing device (P/N 33503407).
