USE & CARE
3
Read all precautions and installation instructions carefully and completely
before installing.
Precautions
• Properly tighten all ttings to
ensure a leak-free assembly.
• NSF certied plumber's tape (thread
sealing tape) is the only sealer that
can be used on threaded ttings.
DO NOT use pipe dope or PVC
primer/glue on threaded ttings.
Exposure to these compounds will
damage nipples causing leaks.
• 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 oor space.
• Unit must be installed in an area
where the main water line enters
your home, before connecting to
the water heater. DO NOT install
after a water heater or on the
hot water line.
• It is recommended your system
be installed indoors and out of
direct sunlight. Prolonged
exposure to light can weaken
plastic components, resulting in
lter housing failure. If this is not
possible and the system is outdoors
or in a sunny area, the unit must be
protected from both direct sunlight
and freezing temperatures.
• If installing on metallic plumbing,
two grounding clamps and #4
copper wire are essential for safety.
• Some local codes may require
the use of a licensed plumber or
certied installer when disrupting
a potable water line.
• In areas with high pressure, a
pressure relief valve and a water
hammer arrestor may be necessary.
Cleaning

Sediment levels vary from one location

ow rate has noticeably decreased,
replace your lter cartridge sooner.
