This page includes tips and important reminders. We recommend customers share this page with outside plumbers doing work in the home. The following information will ensure that your LifeSource service is not interrupted. Important Reminders • Please make sure you use appropriate fittings for the model being installed.
Elite Series Model 2250 is ANSI/NSF-42 tested and certified for a filtration capacity of 3,535,000 gallons of water by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). LifeSource has the highest rated capacity 13” of any whole house water system in North America.
• LifeSource automatic rinse cycles clean out sediment in the carbon bed. • LifeSource systems are environmentally friendly. The rinse water can be used to water a garden or flower bed so water isn’t wasted.
MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF THE PREMIER FILTER SYSTEM A LifeSource carbon filtration system will improve the properties of your water throughout the entire home. Below are some things to expect and recommendations that can maximize the benefits of the system.
MINIMIZING MINERAL SPOTS Dishwashers - LifeSource systems retain nutrient minerals, which may result in limited spotting on glasses in dishwashers. Generally, Cascade Complete dishwasher detergent will resolve this issue (use 1/2 of recommended amount). However, if you still have mineral spotting, try adding 1-2 tsp.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Read the following instructions completely before installation. Observe all local plumbing and building codes when installing.

CAUTIONS & REQUIREMENTS | 2250 S&E PREMIER WATER FILTER 8. DO NOT CONNECT THE FILTER RINSE LINE TO AN AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN LINE. 9. If the system was delivered with the valve head pre-installed on the tank, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE VALVE HEAD. NOTE: For filters delivered without the valve head installed - PRE-FILL the tank with water after the tank has been placed at the installation site.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS All installations are required to be completed in accordance with local building and plumbing codes. NOTE: If a re-circulating pump is present on your hot water heater, unplug the pump PRIOR to shutting off the water supply to avoid a burnout of the pump motor.

NOTE: An air gap is required when attaching a rinse line to a sewer line. The air gap will prevent backflow contamination [See Page 11, Figure 6]. NOTE: Install a water spigot post LifeSource Water System. 5. BEFORE TURNING ON THE MAIN WATER LINE - ensure the built-in bypass lever is still in the BYPASS position [See Page 4, Figure 1].
Grounding the System NOTE: In cases where household plumbing lines are used for grounding the house, it may be necessary to use a copper wire to jump over the LifeSource equipment to continue proper grounding. 1. Cut copper jumping wire to the appropriate length.

FIRST RINSE CYCLE OF NEWLY INSTALLED SYSTEM 1. Electrical power must be on. Plug the system into 110 volt; or, if using the 24 volt, use the supplied 24 volt transformer. 2. Lift off the valve cover on the filter unit and turn the control knob on your left (as you face the tank) CLOCKWISE to the BACKWASH position (notch roughly to the 12 o’clock position) [See Page 17, Figure 11].
MANUAL RINSE INSTRUCTIONS 6. Repeat instructions 4 & 5 to manually rinse the filter. This process can take up to 20-30 minutes and will need to run 4-5 times until the water from the rinse line runs clear. NOTE: If the water is still gray or if it has tiny black particles in it, repeat the manual rinse cycle until the water is totally clear.
Setting Timer To reset the weekly automatic self-cleaning timer [See Figure 11] • Remove the cover at the top. • Press and hold down the red button (A). • Place your finger on top of the large gear (B) and rotate until the correct “present time of day”...

2. One month after the system was installed, drain hot water heater until the drained water runs clear. Old water heaters may descale with LifeSource water and should be drained after one month as scale dislodges. In addition, a water heater should be drained once a year per manufacturer’s instructions.
If water continually flows from the rinse drain line, a cross-mixture of filtered and tap water will be present. Immediately put the system in bypass and call LifeSource Water at 800-334-5009. This may be a sign of a mechanical issue.
