Use proper lifting aids and handling techniques to avoid injury. Use assistance as single person lift
could cause injury. Always drain before handling and transporting and handling to reduce the weight
of the unit.

allow access to the inside serviceable components (filters and
UV lamp).
3. Open the front hatch cover by lifting up and hinging outward.
Front hatch cover can be removed by carefully squeezing panel
base and pulling over hinge pins.
Flush Filters
CAUTION! FILTER FLUSH REQUIRED.
WL350's are not supplied with filters. Filters should be configured to optimize your system. Filters
need to be configured and specified to do the job given the local water conditions, usage,
maintenance schedule, and placement restrictions.
In order for our filters to perform as represented and to provide the best quality water possible, it is
essential that filters be replaced periodically. The frequency of filter changes depends upon your
water quality and your water usage. For example, if there is a lot of sediment and/or particles in
your water, then you will have to change your filters more frequently than a location with little to no
sediment. Be sure to replace your filters whenever you notice a decline in the performance, whether
it is a drop in flow rate and/or pressure or an unusual taste in the water.
