Introduction

Your new Scaleless Filtration System will ﬁlter and condition the tap water providing optimum water characteristics for their speciﬁed applications. The result is reduced equipment maintenance requirements, longer equipment life and improved quality & consistency of your products. Proper system installation and routine ﬁlter changes will ensure years of trouble-free operation and performance.

The Scaleless System is built with the ﬁnest and most advanced materials and each system is quality inspected and pressure tested prior to shipment. With proper installation and routine maintenance, you will have years of trouble-free operation.

Please refer to this manual when performing routine ﬁlter changes. The instructions make periodic maintenance quick and easy, and ensure you will receive maximum beneﬁt from your system.

Capacity (Grains) These Cartridges do not have grain removal capacity,

however, other contiminants present in the water will gradually degrade the effectiveness of this cartridge. It is recommended to change the cartridge altleast once a year

Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe without adequately treating the water before or after the system

At the stated service ﬂow rates, the pressure drop through these devices will not exceed 15 psig.

Installation Precautions

• Do NOT install system on line pressure above 125 psi.

• Do NOT install system on HOT water line. Failure to limit line temperature to 100°F may result in housing failure and damage.

• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.

• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for ﬁtting connections. USE two to three wraps of teﬂon tape.

• Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to ﬁlter housing. Filter housing will be damaged by high temperature.

• Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 32°F.

• Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item that may cause damage.

• ALLOW a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for ﬁlter replacement.

• IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before the Scaleless unit.

• Do NOT overtighten ﬁtting connections into inlet valve our housing outlet.

• Do NOT install the unit behind equipment where it may be difﬁcult to access the system for ﬁlter replacement.

Position the Scaleless unit in a suitable location. The direction of ﬂow through the Scaleless unit is always left to right; keep this in mind when determining installation location. Do NOT mount the Scaleless system near any source of heat. Also, do not mount the system above any device or area that would be adversely affected by water.

Installation Procedure (See Installation Drawings for Detail)

1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the Scaleless System, locate water supply cut-off valve and turn OFF

2. Determine if the water line has an existing water treatment system. If so, examine system for use of polyphospate or other scale inhibitors. Scaleless will not be effective if used in conjunction with other scale inhibitors. Remove the scale inhibitors from the water line or discontinue installation.

3. Install a 1/2” full-ﬂow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.

4. Anchor the Scaleless System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs. System must be vertical and upright.

5. Run a suitable line from the 1/2” full-ﬂow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of the Scaleless system. Use 2-3 wraps of teﬂon tape and brace the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench when connecting the feed water line. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE.

6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the outlet of the Scaleless System. NOTE: DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making connection to the equipment this line will be used to facilitate ﬂushing the system. As an option, a drain valve in a tee on the outlet side of the Scaleless system could be provided in the line to facilitate ﬂushing when changing ﬁlters.

7. With System inlet valve closed, slowly open the 1/2” full-ﬂow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks.

8. If a drain valve was not installed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to equipment in a clean bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water to ﬂush through system for 2 minutes at the speciﬁed system ﬂow rate to allow air bubbles to escape. NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE SCALELESS SYSTEM TO PERFORM PROPERLY. FLUSHING IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTEM.
