INSTALL BYPASS TO THE FILTER

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.
If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid
damage to the element in the tank.
2
. If you have a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then
shut off the main water shut off valve. If you have municipal water,
simply shut off the main valve. Go to the faucet, (preferably on the
lowest floor of the house) turn on the cold water until all pressure is
relieved and the flow of water stops.
3
. Connect the inlet and outlet of the filter using appropriate fittings.
Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes. Any solder
joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the
valve. Always leave at least 6" (152 mm) between the valve and joints
when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do
this could cause damage to
the valve.
4.
Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position.
Slowly turn on the main water supply. At the nearest cold treated
water tap nearby remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and
let water run a few minutes or until the system is free of any air or
foreign material resulting from the plumbing work.
5
. Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before
proceeding.
6.

The unit is not ready for service until you complete the start-up
instructions. Carbon filters only:
Once the unit has filled sufficiently that water is at least equal to the
height of the media shut down the water for 15-20 minutes for the carbon
to soak. After the carbon has soaked for the recommended time continue
with installation instructions.
