For FX Series Models: FX-22PCR+
DO NOT DISCARD - GIVE THIS MANUAL TO THE OWNER AFTER INSTALLATION
● Installation must conform to all local plumbing codes and regulations.
● Do NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
● Connect system to cold water supply only! Water temperature must not exceed 100°F/38°C.
● Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to the lter housing or inlet valve. High temperature will
damage these components.
● Do NOT over-tighten tting connections into inlet valve or housing outlet. Always back-up valves and
ttings with a wrench to avoid turning the valve.
● Allow a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for sump removal and lter replacement.
● Do NOT mount the system near a heat source or above the electrical wiring or any device or area that
would be adversely affected by water.
● Do NOT mount the system behind equipment. The unit must be easily accessible for lter replacement.
● Failure to change cartridges per recommended intervals with OptiPure replacement cartridges may lead
to system failure and property damage.
Introduction
Your new OptiPure FX-Series FoodService Filtration System will cleanse and condition the tap water providing
optimum water characteristics for their specied applications. The result is reduced equipment maintenance requirements, longer equipment life and improved quality and consistency of your products. Proper system installation and
routine lter changes will ensure years of trouble-free operation and performance.
The OptiPure System is built with the nest 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 troublefree operation.
Please refer to this manual when performing routine lter changes. The instructions make periodic maintenance quick
and easy, and ensure that you will receive maximum benet from your system.
System Specications & Dimensions
Inlet/Outlet Connections: 3/4” FNPT
All systems ow left (inlet) to right (outlet)
Chloramine Reduction Capacity: 60,000 gals. (226,800 Liters)
Capacity: Change filters at gallon rating or at least every 6 months or when pressure gauge needle enters the red
zone on the outlet gauge while water is flowing through the filter system under normal operating conditions.
Operating Specications
Maximum Pressure: 125 psi/8.6 bar
Maximum Temperature: 100°F/38°C
Installation Precautions
• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for tting connections. USE two to three wraps of teon tape.
• 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.
• IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before OptiPure unit.
• Do not apply heat to the inlet ball valve, outlet divert valve or adapter screwed into valves. This will damage the
valves beyond repair.

Installation Procedure
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the OptiPure System.
2. Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
3. Install a 3/4” full-ow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.
4. Anchor the OptiPure System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs.
5. Run a suitable line from the 3/4” full-ow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side
of the OptiPure system. Use 2-3 wraps of teon 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 (a stainless steel 3/4”mpt x 1/2” hose barb adapter elbow is included to easily connect beverage tubing).
6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the 3/4” female pipe thread outlet
of the OptiPure System (a stainless steel 3/4”mpt x 1/2” hose barb adapter is included to facilitate installation to
beverage machine). Connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. A divert valve is included on the outlet side
of the OptiPure system to facilitate ushing when changing lters. Install a piece of 1/2”id hose on the hose barb
adapter on the bottom of the divert valve outlet.
7. With OptiPure inlet valve closed, slowly open the 3/4” full-ow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks.
8. Turn the handle on the outlet divert valve down towards the male 3/4” thread with the 1/2 Hose Barb adapter.
Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water to ush through system for 10 minutes at the specied system
ow rate to allow air and any carbon nes to escape. NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE OPTIPURE SYSTEM TO PERFORM PROPERLY. FLUSHING IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE
SYSTEM AND REMOVE ANY CARBON FINES PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO EQUIPMENT.
10. Open all water supply valves and check for leaks.
11. If no leaks turn on equipment and check for normal operation.
12. Attach the Service Log to the Installed OptiPure System and ll in install date.

Operation
With adequate pressure, normal operation of the OptiPure System is completely automatic. Dependable operation
involves only monitoring of outlet pressure, periodic lter changes and service documentation.
Pressure Gauge Monitoring
Periodically monitor the pressure gauge on the OptiPure unit. If the needle on the gauge ever enters the red zone it
may be an indication that the lters have become clogged with sediment. Ideally the pressure should never drop into
the red zone.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure
IMPORTANT: Determine whether all equipment connected to the
OptiPure System must be turned off prior to shutting off water supply
from lters.
1. If required, turn off equipment.
2. Turn OFF water to OptiPure System by closing Inlet Ball Valve.
3. Press the red button or use outlet divert valve to release pressure.
4. Remove housing(s) - use lter wrench if necessary.
5. Clean inside of housing sumps with warm water. If desired, disinfect housings using a teaspoon of household bleach in a lter bowl
of water. Let stand 5 minutes, and then discard and thoroughly
rinse sump.
6. Insert new cartridges into lter housings. Match cartridge model
numbers to model numbers on the system bracket.
7. Make certain the O-ring is properly positioned and reinstall lter
housings (hand tighten only - the lter wrench is not required).
Check O-ring for damage and replace if damaged or distorted.
8. Slightly open the inlet ball valve; push the red pressure relief
button to release trapped air until a small amount of water comes
out - release the red button and fully open the ball valve. If not
equipped with a red pressure release button use the drain divert
valve on the outlet to bleed off excess air pressure.
9. Turn the handle on the divert valve on the outlet down and ush
the new cartridges to drain or bucket for ten (10) minutes or until
water runs clear.
10. VERY IMPORTANT: With water supply inlet valve OPEN and
water ow conrmed, turn on connected equipment. Failure to
supply water to equipment may cause serious damage.
11. Record lter change.

Replacement Filter Cartridges
OptiPure Filter Systems are designed, tested, and certied with OptiPure
lter cartridges with proven performance, size and operating capacities.
Use of replacement cartridges other than those specied will void warranties, certications and may compromise equipment protection, water
quality and cartridge life.

Maintenance
The only routine maintenance your OptiPure System should ever require is periodic lter cartridge changes or
replacement sump O-rings. Filter changes are necessary for optimum performance of your foodservice equipment. If
the system sizing recommendations have been followed the OptiPure System is designed to provide a six (6) month
lter replacement interval on most tap water.
Filter Change Frequency
Several situations will mandate lter changes. Complete lter sets should be changed when any of the following
apply:
• Six (6) Months have passed since unit installation or previous lter change.
• Reduced water ow.
• Pressure gauge needle enters the red zone or drops below pressure required for equipment operation.
If lter change frequency is less than 6 months due to pressure drop, it may be necessary to add additional preltration or evaluate system sizing recommendations.
