WARNING:

If this or any other system is installed in a metal (co nductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Some homes may have been built in accordance with building codes, which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded "jumper wire" bridging the equipment and reestablishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your systems use.

When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the syst em should be installed following the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro pneumatic

applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Notice:

Filtration System

Whole House Iron & Manganese Filter - If the Red Clips are in the slots (female opening of Electronic Head) remove them. Push the male O-Ring side of the Bypass Valve into the female opening of the Electronic Head. Push the Red Clips back into the slots to tighten.

The Bypass Valve on the Electr onic Head can be set to Bypass or Service by turning the knobs on the side of the valve. If the holes are up and down then the tank is in the Bypass Mode. If the holes are side to side then the tank is in the Service Mode. Do not remove the red clips from the Bypass Valve after connecting to main water supply.

Note: The Whole House W ater Filter flows in a differ ent direction than the Iron Manganese Filter. The Red Arrows on the Whole House FilterBypass may be pointing in a diff erent direction then shown in Figure 2. If

this is the case, remove the Red Arrows by pulling them straight up. Turn them around and reposition correctly onto the Bypass Valve so they are positioned as shown in Figure 2.
