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.

ON DISINFECTED WATER THAT MAY CONTAIN FILTERABLE CYSTS.

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

III

Page 5

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

PRODUCT WATER FAUCET SITE PREPARATION

Refer to Faucet Installation Instructions (Pages 5 & 7) for site location and mounting hole specifications.

Primary considerations for site selection are convenience of use and an open area under sink.

Always check underside of selected location for obstructions.

PORCELAIN/ENAMEL OVER STEEL

OR CAST IRON SINKS

1. CAUTION: A heavy duty, variable speed drill motor

with a spring-loaded porcelain drill set (Figure 5.B.) is strongly recommended for this procedure.

CAUTION: The plastic sleeve supplied on pilot drill

(Figure 5.A) is to be positioned on drill bit against drill chuck. This prevents chuck from contacting

porcelain after pilot hole has been completed.

Using carbide tipped bit with plastic sleeve (Figure

5.A.), drill pilot hole completely through porcelain and

metal underneath.

NOTE: Practice on discarded sinks to become familiar with operation of porcelain cutter kit.

2. CAUTION: Avoid high motor R.P.M. during initial

penetration of porcelain, as high drill speed will cause excessive chipping.

STAINLESS STEEL SINK

1. Use a center punch to make a small indentation to mark center of desired location.

2. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8" metal drill bit, then enlarge hole with a 3/8" metal drill bit.

3. Complete hole size by using a 1 1/4" chassis punch available from your dealer (P/N 36201006).

4. Installation hole is ready, install faucet.

A. PILOT DRILL

Place spring-loaded porcelain saw (Figure 5.B.) into

drill chuck. Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert pilot guide into pilot hole. Push down gently on drill motor to apply light pressure to porcelain surface.

Start drill motor turning as slowly as possible.

After initial cut has started, motor speed may be

gradually increased. The cut may require three to four minutes to complete. Going faster could result in excessive chipping. Be sure a complete ring has been cut through porcelain to material underneath.

3. Place finish hole saw (Figure 5.C.) into drill chuck. Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert pilot guide into pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed and light pressure until porcelain (inside ring cut in Step 2) has been penetrated to material underneath.

4. Remove saw from hole and clean all debris from porcelain surface. Re-insert saw into hole and cut through remaining material.

5. Installation hole is ready, install faucet.

TILE COUNTER TOP

1. Follow procedures detailed in section labeled "Porcelain/Enamel Over Steel" (substitute "tile" for "Porcelain" in instructions).

CLEANING, SANITIZING, AND CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Mix a mild cleaning solution of dish soap and clean potable water in the plastic bowl.

2. Shut feed water supply valve and open product water faucet to relieve system pressure.

3. CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove filter housings until water flow stops. This reduces pressure inside the system so housings may be removed safely.

CAUTION: Additional point-of-use devices (i.e., icemakers) may use filters along their supply line. Remove any filter or treatment device installed between module and delivery device before proceeding.

Remove each filter housing by turning it counter clockwise. Remove each filter cartridge as its housing is removed. Discard filters.

Icemaker freezer container for storage until procedure is done.

4. CAUTION: Use sanitary rubber gloves for this procedure to avoid contaminating sanitizing solution or filters. Wear gloves whenever cleaning/ sanitizing system components or handling new filter cartridges.

Remove filter housing "O" rings and wash them with cleaning solution. Rinse them well with clean potable water. Inspect the "O" rings for damage (i.e., nicks or scratches). Replace damaged "O" rings.

: Transfer ice cubes from bin/tray to clean

CLEAN: Each time filters are replaced

SANITIZE: At least once every 12 months.

9. CAUTION: Excessive concentrations of bleach will damage plastic and rubber components. Rinse all parts that contact bleach thoroughly with clean potable water.

Mix sanitizing solution of 1.5 ml (1/3 teaspoon) of household bleach and 3.8 L (1 gallon) of clean, potable water in the bucket. Mix the solution well.

10. CAUTION: Tighten filter housings by hand only. Do not use tools as they will over-tighten and damage housings. Take care not to cut or pinch “O” rings.

Add 236 ml (one cup or 8 oz.) of sanitizing solution to each of the filter housings and install them onto the manifold (do not install filters at this time). Tighten each filter housing by hand only.

11. Slowly open the feed water supply valve.

12. Open product water faucet. Keep it open for 5 seconds after water starts coming out.

13. Close the product water faucet.

14. Wait 30 minutes, open product water faucet and let water flow 5 minutes.

15. After 5 minutes, close feed water supply valve and allow water to flow until system pressure is relieved.

16. CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove filter housings until water flow stops. This reduces pressure inside the system so housings may be removed safely.

Remove the filter housings and dispose of the water. Rinse housings and manifold ports thoroughly with clean potable water.

17. CAUTION: Do not remove protective plastic bag from filters until so instructed.

Open the top of the bag only enough to expose the top cap and "O" rings. Place a small amount of “O” ring lubricant on surface of each “O” ring.

Install the filter cartridges. Hold cartridge by its protective plastic bag and insert the cartridge into the manifold turning it 1/2 turn as it enters the port (See Page II, Figure 1 for location of each cartridge). Slide bag from cartridge and discard it.

CAUTION: Tighten filter housings by hand only. Do not use tools as they will over-tighten and damage housings. Take care not to cut or pinch “O” rings.

NO WATER FLOW MONITOR: Complete Steps 26 - 29

OPTIONAL SMARTAP

WATER FLOW MONITOR:

Complete Steps 18 – 29

Smartap

Flow Monitor Operation Requirements:

Monitor must be reset to zero each time system is serviced and cartridges replaced. If monitor is not reset, there is no way to determine when filters were changed or if the system is still operating within specifications.

Monitor is reset when the battery (Item 24) is disconnected from the clip. Failure to replace battery may result in yellow light when system is reconnected.

Installing a new battery when filter cartridges are replaced ensures an accurate indication of system performance and a continuing supply of high quality drinking water.

18. CAUTION: The wiring within the module cover connects the monitor components. If wires, circuit board, or connections are damaged and/or wetted, monitor will not function.

Loosen three mounting bracket screws. Gently pull module cover up and away from module body.

19. Disconnect the battery. The connection to the battery is a snap type connector (See Figure 11).

20. Remove the battery by sliding it out of its holder.

21. Replace the battery with a new alkaline 9-volt transistor battery (P/N 31300001).

22. Carefully slide the battery into its holder.

23. CAUTION: Verify battery connector alignment before making connection (Figure 11).

Reconnect the battery by pressing the clip onto the battery terminals.

24. Replace the module cover and tighten screws.

25. Turn feed water valve slowly to the open position.

26. Test battery connection by activating the monitor. Pressing the test button or open the product water faucet. If an indicator light illuminates, connection is good.

Replace each filter housing as each cartridge is installed.

NOTE: Close faucet after light illuminates. Test confirms connection, not system status.

27. Open product water (and extra point-of-use) faucet. Let water flow until all air has been expelled from system.

28. Close product water (and extra point-of-use) faucet. In 5 minutes, check the connections for leaks and correct if necessary.

Icemaker

: Let the tray/bin fill with ice cubes. Discard all ice cubes to the drain. This flushes sanitizing solution from the lines to the icemaker.

29. Open product water (and extra point-of-use) faucet. Let the water flow for 10 minutes. This will expel any remaining air from the system.

30. System is ready to use. Should there be any aftertaste or odor to the water or ice cubes, repeat Step 29.
