IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before beginning installation.
• Check all applicable plumbing, building, and electrical codes for installation compliance.
• Install the system on the main water supply.
• The use of plumber's tape and/or pipe thread seal paste will be needed on all threaded connections.
• To condition all water in the home, install the ltration system close to the water supply inlet, and upstream of all other
plumbing connections, except outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on un-ltered water.
• The electronic lter head cannot be exposed to outdoor elements, such as direct sunlight or atmospheric precipitation. The
system may be installed in a covered, open-air structure such as a carport or other shelter. Weather covers are available to
protect the electronic control from direct sunlight and precipitation.
WARNING
If this or any other system is installed in a metal (conductive) 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 re-establishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system insert must be installed prior to your systems use.
CAUTION
When adding a ltration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should be installed following the pressure tank.
DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydropneumatic applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the
booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Note
Sediment lter position is at the discretion of your professional installer. As a general guideline, the sediment prelter is
typically installed in the "pre" position (as shown above) for well water applications. For city water applications, the sediment
lter is typically installed in the "post" position after the Water Softener Alternative tank.

The bypass valve comes pre-assembled and ready to install with the o-rings, split rings, and quick connect nuts. Push the bypass valve
into the head of the Carbon Filter Tank with the unthreaded ends oriented toward the tanks and hand-tighten the quick connect nuts.
Note
The bypass valve(s) included with this system are designed for multiple water systems. This may result in the arrows on the bypass
valve(s) pointing differently than shown. If the arrows on your bypass valve(s) do not match the diagram, remove the red arrows by
pulling them straight up, turn them 180˚ to match the drawing, and push them back down onto the stem.
