How to Change the Direction of Your Flow Note: If needed for your setup these steps will reverse the flow of your whole house system so your feed water can enter the opposite side. 1. Unscrew the Filter Housings 3. Unscrew the 12 screws on top for the Caps at the top 2. Unscrew the Pressure Gauge(s) by hand and set them aside of the metal bracket to disconnect the black Housing Caps from the Metal Bracket.
Before You Begin Make a list of all the plumbing parts and tools you will need to completely install the system to fit your home’s needs. Confirm the inflow direction of the system and your install location. Turn off all incoming water to the house. The valve for this may be located under the house, on the side of the house, under a ground panel, or elsewhere. If you have an electric water heater turn off the electricity to your water heater. If you have a gas water heater turn the knob to pilot.
Installation After shutting off the main water line open all of your home plumbing fixtures to drain as much water as possible and reduce pressure in your plumbing. Prepare Your Install Site Your install location should be at any point after the main water supply line enters your home, but before the line splits or meets the hot water heater. If your line branches off to outdoor and indoor plumbing you may wish to install on the indoor line if you would only like to filter your indoor water.
Attach Plumbing Attach the necessary pipes, valves, and fittings to each side of the system. Once all of your pipes and connections are complete and flow is opened you are ready to turn your water back on. Restart Water Flow Turn your main water valve back on slowly. You will be able to hear the sound of water entering the Whole House Filtration System, after a while the system will be full and sound will stop. Now, you will need to flush the system before you are ready to use the water.
Filter Change Each filter is good for approximately 6 months or up to 100,000 gallons of water. The amount of time and water depends on the quality, temperature, and pressure of your water supply. Your replacement cycle may be longer or shorter because of this. If you notice a drop in your water pressure in your home or on the pressure gauges, this usually indicates you are ready for a filter replacement. Once your pressure has dropped 10-12 PSI from your initial pressure we suggest replacing your filters.
Remove the old filter and throw it away. Drain any water from your filter housing. Filter Cleaning We recommend cleaning your filter housings once a year. To do this scrub the inside of the housing and the inside of the top manifold with one gallon of warm water mixed with 1 tablespoon of household bleach. Make sure to protect your hands during cleaning. Rinse all parts with water until all traces of bleach are gone. NOTE! Do not add bleach directly to any part of the system.
