Equipment Set-Up And Installation - 3M ScaleGard HP Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Equipment Set-Up and Installation

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Before starting installation, shut off main water supply and drain pipes.
• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40 °F (4.4 °C).
• Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110 °F (43.3 °C).
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this system is 100 °F (37.8 °C).
• 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.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near 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.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• The RO cartridge MUST be replaced every twenty four (24) months, or sooner if a noticeable increase in TDS occurs.
• The disposable filter cartridges MUST be replaced every six (6) months, at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate
occurs.
