IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Shut off main water supply. Drain water from water lines.
2. Remove housing from filter head and set aside.
3. Wrap PTFE tape (approx. 12") around the 1" male compression adaptors
(to the right, see Figure 1) and screw firmly to filter head. Do not use pipe
solvent (dope) as some types may cause damage to plastic fittings. Do not
overtighten as it may cause damage to filter head. Damage to unit may result
in property damage due to water leakage.
4. Calculate proper spacing of components. Measure distance and mark pipe accordingly.
5. Cut pipe to length with pipe cutter.
6. Fit filter head and ball shut-off valve onto pipe.
Make sure the "IN" port with red air release
button is connected to water supply line.
Tighten compression nuts. (See Figure 3).
7. Remove o-ring from housing.
Lubricate with a silicone based lubricant and seat securely on housing.
8. Place filter into housing. Screw housing with filter onto head.
9. Slowly turn on main water supply. Press red air release button (on filter head) to expel air.
10. Check for leaks then turn water with an open faucet for 5 minutes or until air is flushed from system.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous
voltage:
• If the home electrical system requires use of
the cold water system as an electrical safety
ground, a jumper must be used to ensure a
suffi cient ground connection across the fi lter
installation piping — refer installation to quali-
fi ed personnel. (see Figure 2)
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Install on COLD water lines only.
• Do not use torch or other high temperature sources near fi lter or plastic fi ttings.
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation
(waste baskets, etc).
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use thread sealing tape only.
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks.
• Do not install in direct sunlight.
• SHUT OFF FUEL SUPPLY TO WATER HEATER after water is shut off.
• Allow a minimum of 2" (5 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Before starting installation, shut off main water supply and drain pipes.
