Use and Care Manual

• DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862
kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
your water pressure.
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may
occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must
install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for
this condition.
• Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a
water system, a device for controlling pressure due
to thermal expansion MUST be installed. Contact
a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
select/install/maintain a thermal expansion device.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water system,
you MUST maintain and inspect the attached pressure
switch regularly in accordance with the booster pump
manufacturer’s instructions. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to maintain your
booster pump system.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water
system, you MUST install an appropriate pressure
relief valve. Pressure relief valve must be maintained
and inspected every 6 months. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how select/install/
maintain a pressure relief valve.
• Where a booster pump is installed on a water
system, you MUST install an appropriate pressure
regulating valve and regulate water pressure to
<80psi. Contact a plumbing professional if you
are uncertain how select/install/maintain a pressure
regulating valve.
• DO NOT use a torch or other high temperature sources
near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
• On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope.
Use PTFE thread tape ONLY, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten
plastic fittings, as damage may occur if over tightening
occurs.
• DO NOT install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• DO NOT install near water pipes which will be in path of
a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the
bracket.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from
being struck by other items used in the area of
installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the
weight of the system when installed and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of
leaks.
• Shut off fuel or electric power supply to water heater
after water is shut off during system installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Failure to follow instructions will void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 2 1/2" clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
