TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY

1. Close the main water supply valve, near the well
pump or water meter.
2. Open all faucets to drain water from the house
pipes.
NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water
heater, as damage to the water heater ele-
ments could result.
MOVE THE CENTRAL WATER FILTRATION
SYSTEM INTO PLACE
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
Central Water Filtration System.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
1. Move the Central Water Filtration System into instal-
lation position. Set it on a level surface. If needed,
place the unit on a section of plywood, a minimum
of 5/8" thick. Then place shims under the plywood
to level the Central Water Filtration System (see
Figure 8).
2. Remove top cover.
3. Hang cover from post on front of rim, as shown in
Figure 9. Avoid allowing cover to hang from wires.
ASSEMBLE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMB-
ING
Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings
from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of
the Central Water Filtration System valve. Be sure to
keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and
straight. Be sure incoming water supply pipe goes to
the Central Water Filtration System valve INLET side.
NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve.
Trace the water flow direction to be sure.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all
plumbing to prevent putting stress on
the Central Water Filtration System
valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress
from misaligned or unsupported plumb-
ing may cause damage to the valve.
