Instructions / Assembly

Installation
. SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
• Manifold should be mounted directly to a flat surface ensuring cartridge[s] have enough space
to hang vertically
• Mounting location should allow for a minimum clearance of ½ inches for easy cartridge
removal and replacement
• Provide adequate space on both sides for plumbing installation and system flushing
. INSTALL GAUGES
• Systems with 3 or more stages will have two gauges: one at the inlet port and one at the outlet port
• Single and 2-stage systems will have one gauge at outlet port only
• Attach stainless steel collar reinforcement over valve stem, then install gauge to system
Collar reinforcement must be used; otherwise, system may be damaged
. INSTALL TADAPTER AND DRAIN SHUTOFF VALVE ONTO OUTLET PORT ¾” NPT
• Use Teflon
®
tape around threads of outlet port
. INSTALL MANIFOLD ONTO WALL
• Use a level and predrilled mounting holes in the manifold bracket as guides
• Align, mark, and drill anchor holes
• Ensure manifold is level and mounted securely
. SHUT OFF WATER SUPPLY AND PLUMB INLET AND OUTLET PORTS ¾” NPT
• Connect inlet and outlet ports to your water supply
• Use an industry approved pipe dope or Teflon
®
tape at all connections
• Use correct sized wrench (not channel locks) on all pipe fittings to avoid undue stress on system
components. Do not over tighten
• Be cautious when sweating joints so no damage occurs to elastomeric components
We recommend installing your Pro Series System with a bypass line so water may be diverted around the
filtration system, if needed. Having a bypass line in place allows your operation to still function should any
issues be experienced with the filtration system
. IF USING A COMBO SYSTEM,
PLUMB TO CARBONATED BEVERAGE CENTER
• Plumb dedicated line from outlet port of H-adapter
(located on manifold) directly to carbonated beverage center
. INSTALL CARTRIDGES
• Match color label on manifold to color label on cartridge[s]
• Align connection points on top of cartridge to bottom of corresponding place on manifold
• Push cartridge up and turn to the right to lock in cartridge
• Repeat for all cartridges included with your system

. SYSTEM CHECK AND FLUSH
• Check all connections and proceed to turn on water supply
• Check each connection for leaks once system is pressurized
• Open flushing valve to flush the cartridge[s] by running water through at full force for approximately
10 minutes. This process purges the system of air and any fines, ensuring maximum filter life and high
performing water from the start
• After flushing, system is ready for use and operation

IMPORTANT:
Cartridge will ‘lock’ into place
when fully engaged after a
quarter turn. If the cartridge
is not fully engaged, the water
will not flow freely through the
system and leaking
may occur.
