INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: If a re-circulating pump is present on your hot water heater, unplug the pump
PRIOR to shutting off the water supply to avoid a burnout of the pump motor.
1. Shut off the water at the water main. Open a water spigot connected to the
home to drain water from pipes.
2. Once the 3-way valve bypass has been fabricated the system should be in the
3-way BYPASS position before you begin plumbing of new system.
3. Place the Premier 2250SE carbon filter in its final install location. Make sure tank
is level.
NOTE: If using the 24-volt transformer, run low voltage wire and make
connections but do not plug in at this time.
4. Plumb in the carbon filter tank. Be sure to position the incoming and outgoing
pipes properly.
NOTE: If installing a sediment filter, plumb in the sediment filter before the
carbon tank. Care should be taken to cool the plastic casing when soldering
nearby pipe connections. The house ground wire, if necessary, should be looped
around the system to maintain proper grounding.
5. Connect the Rinse Line - The rinse line should be directed to a ground location
that has sufficient percolation such as a flower bed or a drain. In areas where
freezing occurs, the rinse line cannot be located outdoors.
This system requires either a 3/4" O.D. (outside diameter) or 3/4" PVC pipe. Connect
the rinse line on the carbon filtration tank, using care not to over-tighten. If using
PVC pipe, 1/8" holes can be drilled about 4" apart along the pipe lying on the ground
to better distribute the water in a garden area. DO NOT cap the end of the pipe or
connect the end of the pipe to an irrigation drip line or air conditioner drain line.
NOTE: An air gap is required when attaching a rinse line to a sewer line. The air
gap will prevent backflow contamination. [See Page 10, Figure 5]
