CAUTIONS & REQUIREMENTS |
PREMIER WATER FILTER
1. Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
2. LifeSource Water Systems are attached to the
main water line going into the home. [The pipe
connection is made after the pressure regulator,
if present, and after the sprinkler supply line.]
Attaching irrigation or sprinkler lines to the
LifeSource Water System is not recommended.
Make sure house water is on the main line.
Some kitchen cold water lines are plumbed
separately if previously plumbed for water
softeners.
3. CHECK WATER PRESSURE: The system is
rated for l00 psi. Water pressure measuring 80
psi during the day may surge to over l00 psi
at night when self-cleaning occurs. If daytime
water pressure on main line is above 80 psi, a
pressure regulator [See Figure 4] is required.
4. All filter systems have a rinse drain line [See
Figure 5] with a restrictive washer determining
the gallon per minute (gpm) flow rate. That
outlet should run to a drain or outdoor location
with sufficient percolation, such as a flower bed
or drain.
5. An AIR GAP must be used in connecting to a
drain line to prevent possible back siphoning
into the tank [See Figure 6].
NOTE: Devices that create an air gap can be
purchased at plumbing supply stores.
6. LifeSource filters come equipped with a timer
to automatically rinse and clean the system on
a regular basis. Manually rinsing this system will
not be necessary after the first rinse.
