Carefully remove and inspect your new filter system for any possible transportation
damage. If any damage is found, please notify us promptly.
1. Position the system in the best area to connect it to the main cold water service
line of your home & Screw in the Pressure Gauge (Included) into the ¼” port on top of the system (take care not to overtighten).
Note: If you need to connect water input to the left side of the unit, please first remove
all housings, unscrew the pressure gauge, then unscrew each black housing cap and reverse their positions so that the arrows near the engraved “IN” and “OUT” indicators on top of the black caps are facing direction of water flow.
2. Turn off the main water supply to your home, and open a faucet (for a few
seconds) to release pressure from your plumbing system.
3. Attach the included Ball-Valve to the “INPUT” port of the system, and then
connect the cold-water service line to it.
Note: The home’s water service line should be first connected directly to the filtration
system BEFORE the water reaches any hot water heater or other system (e.g. Water Softeners, UV systems, De-scalers, etc.)
4. Unpack the cartridges, remove Shrink-wrap and insert cartridges in the proper
sequence indicated below (notice the “this end up” indicator on the WellGuard-WH & AntiRad-WH Cartridges) and screw chambers closed (HAND-TIGHTEN to
prevent Damaging O-Rings. If housings leak, then use wrench to tighten some more).
Note: If the cartridges move inside the closed chambers when shaken, you did not tighten
the housing enough, Use wrench in this case, but just enough until shaking ceases.

5. Before connecting unit to output pipe: Flush the carbon fines out of system for 5
minutes, then connect the output of the unit to applicable pipe/s.
Note: You’d need to install a drain/bypass faucet valve right at the output of the system,
so you can easily connect a garden hose for flushing new cartridges and bypassing the plumbing of your home when necessary. A 2nd such valve can also be installed before the Input of the filter, in case you want to connect garden hose to wash car, and not use the filtered water for this. During initial flushing, the output water will be black with harmless carbon dust, please ensure you catch this water so to avoid it muddying your place of install.
Note: Carefully check all connection points for any leaks, if none are found, open main
water supply to normal flow and continue checking for leaks.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the PSI reading on the pressure gauge is not more than 90PSI (install pressure regulator if it’s above this reading). If Pressure is below 45PSI, a
booster pump may be necessary to maintain adequate water pressure in the home.
6. Once Flush is complete, connect the unit to the appropriate output pipe to send
filtered water to your water heater and whole house.
7. Turn on full flow for both hot and cold water in your bathtub and sink faucets
for 15-20 minutes to ensure the cartridges get flushed and primed further and that the old water from the hot water heater is renewed.
Note: Typical Hot Water Heater stores 40 - 75 gallons of water, so it may take a few
days to a week (depending how much water is used in your household) to fully clear out old water from hot water heater.
8. Continue to check on the system everyday for a week and from time to time
thereafter to ensure there are no leaks and that the PSI reading remains below 90.
Note: A leak controller device w/ auto water shut off can be installed for added security.
The system features durable double O-ring seals, and all the O-rings in the housings are
already pre-lubricated with a Premium Food-Grade NSF & FDA Compliant Silicone Lubricant for improved leak resistance.
Congratulations, your new system is now ready to provide clean water to your entire
home!
THE FILTER SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR COOL - COLD WATER USE ONLY.
Do not allow hot water to run through the filter system.

FOR CARE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE:
** Conserving water will extend filter life. (turn off faucet when brushing teeth, etc.).
1. Always Hand-Tighten the housing chambers closed (wrench can over tighten and damage rubber O-rings, causing leaks), use wrench only to open housings.
2. IMPORTANT! – Cartridge Replacement (Before opening housing chambers):
a. Shut off the main water supply to home first. b. Open a faucet in your home to release water pressure. c. Shut-Off the Ball-Valve on the filter system. d. Press and hold (for a few seconds) the red pressure release buttons on top of each
chamber housing before opening.
e. Unscrew housing slowly with provided wrench, Hand-Tighten to Close.
CAUTION!! When unscrewing chambers to replace cartridges, place something soft (e.g.
large towel) directly under the chambers, in case they are dropped (weight over 25lbs each with water), so that they won’t hit the hard floor or hit your hand. It will also help soak up any water that’s released from the chambers.
*Optimal Cartridge Replacement Schedule:
a. 12 months for a 1 person household. b. 10 months for a 2 person household. c. 8 months for a 3 person household. d. 6 months for a 4 person household. e. 4 months for a 6 person household.
*If there is high sediment content in your water, your first cartridge (carbon block) may
clog sooner, resulting in reduced water flow and a drop in PSI on your pressure gauge. This means you need to replace the first cartridge earlier than the other cartridges.
With every cartridge change, we recommend to:
a. Remove & Set aside O-rings and Wash the housing chambers with a towel and warm
water to remove any buildup, and dry.
b. Lubricate the housing rubber o-rings with a Food-Grade, NSF & FDA Compliant
Silicone Lubricant (included). The lubricant can also be applied to housing threading for added protection from leaks. NEVER USE ANY OTHER LUBRICANT as it may damage the rubber O-rings.
3. Do not use system if your water pressure is above 90PSI.
