Cautions And Requirements For Installing
810 Commercial Water System
!
CAUTIONS & REQUIREMENTS
All installations are to be done in accordance with any local codes.
LifeSource Water Systems are attached to the main water line going into the building.
The pipe connection is made after the pressure regulator, if present, and after the
sprinkler supply line. Attaching irrigation or sprinkler lines to the LifeSource Water
System is not recommended. Make sure facility water is on the main line.
(Some kitchen cold water lines have been plumbed separately if previously
plumbed for soft water.)
CHECK WATER PRESSURE: The system is rated for l00psi. Water pressure measuring
80psi during the day may surge to over l00psi at night when self-cleaning occurs.
If daytime water pressure on main line is above 80 psi, a pressure regulator
[See Figure 1] is required.
Both tanks come with a 1” connected bypass. Arrows on top of the bypass valve indicate
the incoming and outgoing water flow.
All systems have a rinse drain line with a restrictive washer determining the g.p.m. (gallon per
minute) flow rate. The 1620 Series systems require either a ½” O.D. (outside diameter)
flexible tubing clamp in place or ½” PVC pipe.
REMOVE OR CHANGE ANY EXISTING FILTERS on the refrigerator water line, beneath the
sink and on any other water lines in the building. Any such filters, if retained, should
be routinely changed per manufacturers’ recommendations.
Read Before Installing System
Figure 1 - Water Pressure Gauge
A suitable outlet to drain the rinse water must be made available for filter. That outlet can
either be a ground location that has a sufficient percolation, a driveway or a drain.
DO NOT CONNECT THE FILTER RINSE LINE TO AN AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN LINE.
An air gap must be used in connecting to a drain line to prevent possible back
siphoning into the tank (see Air Gap Illustration Figure 4).
Filters delivered without the valve head installed: PRE-FILL the tank with water after the
tank has been placed at the installation site. This will allow the water to assimilate
into the carbon and any air to escape prior to operation. *If the system was delivered
with the valve head pre-installed on the tank, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE VALVE HEAD.
The ScaleSolver unit operates in the UPFLOW mode which is opposite of a
conventional softener. Both the inlet and outlets are clearly marked on tank.
This system requires a full bypass to allow for a service flow to be routed around the
system as needed for servicing. [See Figures 2 & 3]
Copper and other metals must not be above EPA standards for municipal water.

and Setup Water Filter
Instructions
System Location Requirements
Place this system vertically on a smooth, level surface. This system operates in an UP-Flow, fluidized bed mode. Level surface is
required. The system may be placed in any position during shipping and installation but must be operated in the vertical
position.
The system should be placed within 5 feet of a 110-volt electrical outlet. A 24-volt transformer can be used if no outlet is available
within five feet. Be sure to secure the transformer to the electrical outlet with the screw provided.
The ScaleSolver must be the final stage in the treatment chain. DO NOT install the water filter post ScaleSolver.
Do not let the system freeze. Damage to the tank may result.
Installation Instructions
All installations are required to be completed in accordance with all local building
and plumbing codes.
NOTE: If a re-circulating pump is present on your hot water heater, unplug the pump
PRIOR to shutting off the water supply to avoid a burnout of the pump motor.
1. Place the tanks where they are to be installed. Pay close attention to the
direction of the arrows on each valve head.
2. First begin with the ScaleSolver by opening up the inlet valve first and then the
outlet valve.
NOTE: The ScaleSolver unit operates in the UPFLOW mode which is opposite of
a conventional softener. Both the inlet and outlets are clearly marked on tank.
3. As the ScaleSolver fills with water, allow cold water to run through a faucet or
hose bib to release air from tank.
4. Water flowing from faucets may be white, allow water to run until clear.
This takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
5. Shut off faucets and place ScaleSolver on bypass before setting up the filtration
unit.
NOTE: If installing a sediment filter, plumb in the sediment filter pre the water
filter. Arrows indicate in and out. Care should be taken to cool the plastic
casing when soldering nearby pipe connections. The building ground wire, if
necessary, should be looped around the system to maintain proper grounding.

6. Filtration unit valve heads are shipped separately. To properly set up the filter,
fill tank with water, remove the blue tape on the center riser pipe and screw on
the valve head securely.
7. Before turning on the main water line, set the built-in bypass lever to the
BYPASS position. [FIG 2]
