Installing your filter IMPORTANT - Follow the assembly instructions before proceeding. It is recommended that installation of the whole house water filter be done by a professional plumber since cutting into your home's main water line is required. - Be sure to note inlet and outlet markings on both units. See image below. The filter has 1” NTP fittings. - Maximum water pressure is 90 PSI. Install a pressure regulator on water with pressures higher than this. - Operating temperature is 40° -100° F.
STEPS 1. Choose Filter Location - - - The first step of water filter installation is to choose a location that is easily accessible - the unit will need to be accessed regularly to change the filter cartridges regularly, so be sure no obstacles interfere with installation. Protect the system against extreme weather - operating temperature range is 40° -100° F. Select a position near the main water shut-off valve, before the line splits or meets the hot water heater.
3. Install the Filter - - - Install shut-off valve at the exposed ends of the supply line. Remove the blue housings from the mounting bracket to install bracket on the wall. Do not unscrew the black lids of housing from the bracket. Use the supplied wrench if needed. Adaptors may be needed on either side of the filter in order to join the pipe size and type in the house. The filter inlet/outlet fitting is 1 inch. After the fittings are done, put the housings with the cartridges back in the brackets. 4.
Replacing Your Cartridge HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY FILTER MEDIA? The whole house filter is designed to remove chlorine and other contaminants from approximately 60,000 gallons of water. In virtually all cases, the taste and odor of chlorine will return to municipal water when the cartridge has lost its effectiveness. The type and concentration of contaminants varies widely throughout the country.
5. Remove the old filter and discard. 6. At this point, it is recommended to clean the housing from inside. 7. Install the new filter in the housing. Make sure the filter is correctly aligned. 8. Lubricate the o-ring and housing threads with food grade silicone grease or petroleum jelly. 9. Support the base of the filter housing and insert it back into filter cap by turning it clockwise until it is hand tight. NOTE: The housing should spin tight easily.
