manufacturers may result in loss of contaminant reduction performance, system damage
or failure. Use of parts from other manufacturers will also void your warranty. Please visit

unknown water quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system. Systems certied for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected water that may contain lterable cysts.
Installation Notes
• Read all precautions, installation and operating instructions carefully and completely before installing.
• Ensure all installation pieces are present prior to beginning.
• Lay out system in appropriate configuration. Improper sequence of equipment will affect performance, and
could possibly damage your system.
• For systems with pro-grade installation kits, anticipate the addition of pex tubing, clamps and mounting
screws to install unit properly (available at local home improvement stores or through your plumbing
contractor). Due to the varieties of home design, not all configurations can be addressed in this guide.
Components and time of installation will vary. Refer your plumbing professional to our installation guide.
• Pick an appropriate installation location. Dimensions of systems vary—always allow an estimated minimum
of 50” clearance for height of tank, and a minimum of 30” for floor space. Your plumber will be installing the
system in an area where the main water line enters your home, prior to your water heater.
• Do not install the unit on its side. It needs to be installed upright to maximize contact with media. It is
recommended your system be installed inside and out of direct sunlight. If this is not possible and the
system is outdoors or in a sunny area, the installation requires the use of sun-proof sumps. Please contact
our sales and service department 866-662-6885 to discuss the specifics of your installation.
• Full warranty contingent on installation by a licensed plumber.
• Do not install this filter where the line pressure may exceed 100 psi. Operating pressure range: 20psi – 100psi.
• Install on cold water lines only (40° – 90°F). Protect unit from freezing.
• Installation of the filter must comply with existing state and local plumbing codes.
Aquasana is not liable for consequential or incidental damages due to improper installation.
Use and Care
Customization options are available to address any specific concerns you may have. The best way to establish
your specific needs is to conduct a water test. Contact us by phone: [phone] or online: aquasana.com,
to make arrangements and get recommendations.
Sediment Pre-filter
• Sediment levels vary from one location to another. During the first year of use, a visual inspection monthly
is recommended. The sediment pre-filter is white when you initially install it. Once you can no longer
see white, or the flow rate has noticeably decreased, it is time to replace the filter with a new one. Allowing
sediment to continue to collect can cause clogging and restrict the flow of water into your home.
