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 filter housing or inlet valve. High temperature will damage these components.
•Do NOT over-tighten fitting connections into inlet valve or housing outlet. Always back-up valves and fittings with a wrench to avoid turning the valve.
•Allow a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for sump removal and filter 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 filter replacement.
•Failure to change cartridges per recommended intervals with Supera® replacement cartridges may lead to system failure and property damage.

Installation Precautions
•Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
•Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of teflon 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 Supera® unit.
Installation Procedure
1.Turn off all equipment to be fed by the Supera® Water Filtration System.
2.Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
3.Install a 1/2” full-flow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.
4.Anchor the Supera® Water Filtration System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs.
5.Run a suitable line from the 1/2” full-flow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of the Supera® Water Filtration System. Use 2-3 wraps of teflon 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.
6.Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the outlet of the Supera® Water Filtration System. NOTE: DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making connection to the equipment this line will be used to facilitate fl ushing the system. As an option, a drain valve in a tee on the outlet side of the Supera® Water Filtration System could be provided in the line to facilitate fl ushing when changing filters.
7.With Supera® inlet valve closed, slowly open the 1/2” full-flow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks.
8.If a drain valve was not installed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to equipment in a clean bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water to flush through system for 10 minutes at the specified system flow rate to allow air and any carbon fines to escape. NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE
SUPERA® WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM TO PERFORM PROPERLY. FLUSHING IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTEM AND REMOVE ANY CARBON FINES PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO EQUIPMENT.
