Watts Premier Filter-Pure UF3 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual page 2

Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Watts Premier Water Treatment system.
Your new Filter-Pure UF3 system is equipped with a unique swivel valve in head push button
assembly. This allows for a simple and sanitary push button filter change that does not require
you to turn off the water source to the filtration system.
This three stage system is equipped with a sediment prefilter, a high quality carbon block filter
and the Ultra Filtration membrane.
The sediment filter reduces sand, silt, sediment and rust particles that may be in your water.
The second stage is a heavy duty lead and chemical reducing carbon filter block. This specially
formulated block is capable of reducing lead as well as harmful Volatile Organic Chemicals (See
performance data sheet for complete list of VOC's). It is estimated that VOC's are present in
one-fifth of the nation's water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from
a variety of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills,
leaking underground fuel tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning
industry. The third stage is our state of the art UF Hollow Fiber Technology membrane.
Ultra filtration is a membrane filtration process which uses standard home water pressure to push
water through its semi permeable membrane. Suspended particles and materials of high molecular
weight are unable to pass through the 0.02 micron UF membrane, allowing only fresh clean water
and dissolved minerals to pass through. Historically this separation process has been used in
large municipal water treatment plants and hospitals; however through advances in technology it
is now available to you as a powerful under sink water filtration plant in your home.
Ultra filtration is capable of running at low water pressures, does not require a separate water
holding tank, does not alter the pH of your water and does not require electricity. Due to this the
Filter Pure UF 3 provides a continuous supply of premium quality drinking water directly to your
tap.
System Maintenance
Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Many contaminants in the
drinking water are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the
filter elements, other bad tastes and odors will be apparent in your drinking water. This is why
it is important to change your filters at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system
manual.
When replacing any of the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should
you have any further questions please refer to our web site at www.wattspremier.com or call our
