DO NOT DISCARD - GIVE THIS MANUAL TO THE OWNER AFTER INSTALLATION
● Installation must conform to all local plumbing codes and regulations.
● Do NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
● Connect system to cold water supply only! Water temperature must not exceed 100°F/38°C.
● Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to the filter housing or inlet valve. High temperature will
damage these components.
● Do NOT over-tighten fitting connections into inlet valve or housing outlet. Always back-up valves and
fittings with a wrench to avoid turning the valve.
● Allow a minimum of 3" under the housing to allow for sump removal and filter replacement.
● Do NOT mount the system near a heat source or above the electrical wiring or any device or area that
would be adversely affected by water.
● Do NOT mount the system behind equipment. The unit must be easily accessible for filter replacement.
● Failure to change cartridges per recommended intervals with OptiPure replacement cartridges may lead to
system failure and property damage.
Introduction
Your new OptiPure QT-Series FoodService Filtration System will cleanse and condition the tap water providing
optimum water characteristics for their specified applications. The result is reduced equipment maintenance require-
ments, longer equipment life and improved quality & consistency of your products. The OptiPure System is built with
the finest, most advanced materials and each system is quality inspected and pressure tested prior to shipment.
Proper system installation and routine filter changes will ensure years of trouble-free operation and performance.
Please refer to this manual when performing routine filter changes. The instructions make periodic mainte-
nance quick and easy, and ensure you will receive maximum benefit from your system.

  • Page 2 Installation Precautions • Do NOT install system on line pressure above 125 psi. • Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet. • Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of Teflon tape. • Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 33°F. • Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item that may cause damage. • IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before OptiPure unit. Installation Procedure 1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the OptiPure System. 2. Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off. 3. Install a minimum 1/2” full-flow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system. 4. Anchor the OptiPure System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs. 5. Run a suitable line from the full-flow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of the OptiPure system. Use 2-3 wraps of Teflon tape and brace the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench when connecting the feed water line. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE. 6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the outlet of the OptiPure System. NOTE: DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making connection to the equipment this line will be used to facilitate flushing the system. As an option, a flush valve in a tee on the outlet side of the OptiPure system can be installed in the line to facilitate flushing when changing filters. 7. With OptiPure inlet valve closed, slowly open the full-flow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks. 8. If a flush valve was not installed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to equipment in a clean bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow...
  • Page 3 Pressure Gauge Monitoring Periodically monitor the pressure gauge on the OptiPure unit. If the needle on the gauge ever enters the red zone (while the connected equipment is in operation and water is flowing through the system to the equipment) it may be an indication that the filters have become clogged with sediment. Ideally the pressure should never drop into the red zone. Maintenance The only routine maintenance your OptiPure System should ever require is periodic filter cartridge changes or replacement sump O-rings. Filter changes are necessary for optimum performance of your foodservice equipment. If the system sizing recommen- dations have been followed the OptiPure System is designed to provide a six (6) month filter replacement interval on most tap water. Filter Change Frequency Several situations will mandate filter changes. Complete filter sets should be changed when any of the following apply: • Six (6) Months have passed since unit installation or previous filter change. • Reduced water flow. If filter change frequency is less than 6 months due to pressure drop, it may be necessary to add additional prefiltration or evalu- ate system sizing recommendations. Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure IMPORTANT: Determine whether all equipment connected to the OptiPure System must be turned off prior to shutting off water supply from filters. 1. Close inlet ball valve. 2. Relieve pressure downline by opening flush valve or briefly actuating equipment. 3. Turn cartridge to the left 1/4 turn until it stops. 4. Pull down on the cartridge until it clears head. Discard old cartridge. 5. Line up the upward-arrow on the new cartridge with the upward pointing arrow on the head.
