Installation And Bypass Level Adjustment - Everpure Claris M Installation And Operation Manual

5. Installation and Bypass level adjustment

5.1 Initial installation
At first identify a suitable place to install the filter system. Note the information provided in chapter 2.
Before you start installing the system, shut off the water supply and disconnect the equipment from the power supply.
Before installation check the filter system and the accessories for any damage – particular attention must be paid
when inspecting the o-rings and gaskets.
After storage below 0° C (32 °F) the filter cartridge must be stored at the ambient temperature of the installation
location for at least 24 hours.
NOTE: The hoses for the supply and discharge line are not supplied as standard but can be ordered as accessories.
A test kit for determining the water hardness is also available as an accessory. You will fi nd more details in section 9.
5.1.1 Installation of fi lter head / Mounting bracket / Filter cartridge
The system can be operated freestanding, lying horizontal or mounted vertically.
1) If mounting vertically to a wall, securely connect the mounting bracket to the wall using suitable Ø 5mm screws
(not included).
2) Install the hoses for the water inlet and outlet to the filter head and respect the following:
• Note the direction of flow – indicated by arrows on the filter head!
• Max. torque 3 Nm
• Only connections with flat gaskets may be used.
• Open the flush/pressure release valve (see page 3, A 5) and lead the flush hose into a suitable
container (e.g. bucket) or to the drain.
• Restore the water supply.
3) Insert the filter cartridge into the filter head and turn it clockwise until the end position is reached. This vents the
system and flushes the filter cartridge (filter size S/M > 5 l / 1.5 USgal; filter size L/XL > 10 l / 3.0 USgal). You can
check the correct end position using the matching marks on the mounting bracket and filter cartridge
(see page 3, position 8).
4) Close the flush/pressure release valve (see page 3, A 4) - the system is now ready for use.
5) After installing the system and inserting the filter cartridge, check all components for seal integrity,
water must not escape from any point.
5.1.2 Replacing a fi lter cartridge
1) Slowly unscrew the used cartridge by turning counter-clockwise. This will unlock it from the filter head and
enable it to be removed.
During this process, incoming tapwater supply and outgoing filtered water valves in the filter head shut-off
automaticaly.
The system will expand and a small amount of expansion water may escape from the flush hose due to peaks
in pressure.
Please keep this in mind and place a suitable container underneath the flush hose.
2) Open the flush/pressure release valve (see page 3, A 5) and lead the rinsing hose into a suitable
container (e.g. bucket) or to the drain.
3) Remove the new filter cartridge from its packaging and check for any damage.
4) Insert the filter cartridge into the filter head and turn the cartridge clockwise until its end position is reached
(see page 3, position 8). The flow in the filter head is reopened and the system vented and flushed via the
flush/pressure release valve (cartridge size S/M > 5 l / 1.5 USgal; cartridge size L/XL > 10 l / 3.0 USgal).
5) Close the flush/pressure release valve (see page 3, A 4) - the system is now ready for use.
6) After replacing the filter cartridge, check all components for seal integrity, water must not escape from any point.
NOTE: The fl ush water will be milky or cloudy at fi rst. This is due to the dispersing air and will clear up
quickly. Now check that the cartridge position is correct by ensuring the marks on the wall mounting bracket and fi lter
cartridge are aligned (see page 3, position 8). When inserting the cartridge, check the position of the cartridge label.
This should face forwards once in the end position so that all of the necessary information is visible.
5.1.3 Determining the carbonate hardness
Use the corresponding test kit to determine the carbonate hardness in the water supply. A test kit for determining
water hardness is available as an accessory.
In order to compensate for fluctuations in the quality of feed water and measuring errors of the test kit we
recommend to add 2° KH / 2° Clarke / 30 PPM / 3° FH to the value determined.
Use this value to determine the recommended bypass level setting according to chapter 5.1.4 and for the
determination of the filter capacity according to chapter 5.1.5.
5.1.4 Bypass level adjustment
To adjust the bypass level for your application, lift up the bypass adjustment cap (see page 3, position 4) and set the
bypass level specified in the table in chapter 6. Then push down the bypass adjustment cap back onto the filter head
to lock the cap in position.
NOTE: Adjust the bypass level only with the cartridge assembled to the head.
