INSTALLATION

• Install filter after water meter or pressure tank.
• Only Teflon^® tape is recommended for fitting connections.
• Instructions are for installing 1˝ compression fittings (separate fittings required for other sizes and non-copper pipe).

1. Turn off water supply (A) and open nearest faucet to drain pipes before installation. Apply about 6˝ of Teflon^® tape (B) in clockwise direction to pipe threads of each adapter.
   
   
   When choosing location allow 1-1/2˝– 2˝ clearance below housing to allow for filter changes.
2. If using optional BR-C mounting bracket, start by making sure the arrows facing you on the system are consistent with the direction of your water flow. Align th e holes of the bracket with the holes on the back of the filter head. Insert four mounting screws through the bracket and into the filter head until tight. Otherwise skip to step 3.
   
3. Assemble all fittings. Start adapters (not included) into filter head by hand. Use a wrench to tighten firmly.
   DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
   
4. Measure overall length of configured system with adapters attached. Reduce this measurement enough to allow for full engagement of the pipe into the adapters and determine how much pipe to remove (X). Mark section of pipe to be removed
   
5. Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, cut and remove marked section of pipe. File or sand sharp edges on remaining pipe.
   
6. Slip brass compression nut and ferrule onto each end of 1˝ pipe.
   
7. Align filter assembly with ends of pipe, making certain your water flow is in the same direction as the arrows on your filter head. It will be necessary to spread ends of pipe apart to install filter assembly. Using two adjustable wrenches, hold incoming fitting securely with one wrench and tighten nut with second wrench. Repeat process for outgoing fitting.
   
8. 
   If water pipes are used to ground electrical systems, appliances or phones, be certain to install a jumper wire.
   
9. If using optional mounting bracket attach it to the wall using four mounting screws (not included).
   
10. Ensure the filter housing has been properly tightened using the housing wrench provided.
    Turn bypass valve to "Filter" mode using wrench, then slowly turn on main water supply.
    Slowly press red pressure-relief button on top of filter to release trapped air. Check for leaks. Open nearest faucet and flush filter cartridge for 10 minutes.
    

FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

1. Turn water off by rotating bypass valve to "Off" or "Bypass."
   NOTE: Turning bypass to "Off" will shut off all water flow within the household.
   Press red pressure-relief button to relieve pressure. Unscrew bottom of housing. Remove O-Ring from groove in housing and wipe clean and set aside. Discard used cartridge.
   Rinse out housing and fill 1/3 with water. Add 2 tablespoons of bleach and scrub with nonabrasive brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
   
2. Lubricate O-Ring with a coating of clean food-grade silicone grease. Insert O-Ring back into groove and smooth into place with finger.
   NOTE: This step is important to ensure proper housing seal. Make certain O-Ring is seated level in the groove.
   Insert new cartridge into housing. Make certain it slips over the standpipe at the bottom of the housing.
   
3. Screw the bottom of housing onto the cap until tight. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Make certain standpipe in filter head slips into cartridge.
   
   Slowly turn bypass valve to "Filter" to allow system to fill with water. Slowly press red pressure-relief button to release trapped air. Check for leaks.
   NOTE: Flush filter cartridge for 10 minutes before use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LEAKS BETWEEN FILTER HEAD AND HOUSING

1. Turn off water supply and press the red pressure-relief button. Remove bottom of housing.
2. Clean O-Ring and O-Ring groove (located directly beneath threads of housing). Lubricate O-Ring with clean silicone grease and replace securely into groove. Screw housing into filter head and hand-tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

LEAKS FROM INLET/OUTLET CONNECTIONS

1. Turn off water supply. For brass fittings, tighten nut snugly about 1/2-turn with a wrench.
2. Turn on water supply. If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off water supply.

FILTER CARTRIDGE SELECTION GUIDE

Note: Whole House-Sediment cartridges are for point-of-entry filtration where water enters the dwelling.
* Filter cartridge life varies depending on usage and water conditions.
** Recommended for use with sediment pre-filter.
*** The smaller the micron rating, the smaller size particle the cartridge will filter. For compariso purposes, the human hair has a diameter of approximately 70 microns. Particles smaller than 40 microns are not visible to the human eye.

1. R50-BBSA, P25-BBSA, RFC-BBSA are not certified by WQA.
2. CW5-BBSA, CP5-BBSA AND CW25-BBSA are not certified by IAPMO R&T.

† Not performance tested or certified by WQA or IAPMO R&T.

PRECAUTIONS

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown source/quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Filter housing must be protected against freezing temperatures, frost, snow, sleet, and ice. Exposure to these elements can produce cracks and product failures.

The rubber O-Ring provides the water-tight seal between the filter head and the housing. It is important that the O-Ring be properly seated in the O-Ring groove or a water leak will occur.

This product has a limited service life. We recommend that a record be kept regarding the date of install and any other performed maintenance. In addition, the entire filter housing should be routinely inspected for signs of stress marks, cracking, chipping, warping, and discoloration. If this filtration system shows any of these signs of wear, the entire unit should be replaced immediately.

Clear housings may crack or warp over time causing failure and leakage if exposed to organic solvents, such as those found in aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.

• For cold water use only. Do not use on hot water line or in areas where the temperature surrounding the unit exceeds 100°F.
• Keep out of direct sunlight. UV rays can weaken the integrity of the filter housing, and also promotes biological growth within the unit.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by the selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
• All filter cartridges recommended for use with this system carry a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges. If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
