Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of a Watts Pure H2O Whole House

Water Filter. Water quality concerns are quickly becoming more of a

focus for the public. This Watts Pure H2O whole house water ﬁlter

has been designed and tested to provide you with a higher quality

of water.

This ﬁlter is designed to reduce the amount of sediment that would

normally enter your home water system. Reducing the amount of

sediment in your home water system will allow your ﬁxtures and

water use appliances to work better.

It is important to change out your ﬁlters at the recommended inter-

vals as indicated in this system manual. When replacing the ﬁlter

elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should

you have any further questions please refer to our web site at

www.watts.com/pureh2o or call our customer service department

at 1-978-689-6066.

Prior To Installation

Watts Pure H2O’s Whole house ﬁlter is designed to be installed on

the main waterline servicing the house. It should be installed indoors

where it is not subject to cold temperatures or long term exposure

to direct sunlight. Watts Pure H2O does not take any responsibility

for the plumbing of the system into the water line. All water ﬁltration

systems must be installed in accordance with local plumbing codes

and regulations.

Note: For installation, you will need to purchase ﬁttings based on

the pipe size and material of the incoming water line that you will be

tapping into.

Whole House Filter Installation

Step 1 - Determine placement of the unit. Make sure the installation

location allows for easy servicing of the system, including a

clearance beneath the ﬁlter bowl for ﬁlter changes.

Step 2 – Shut off main water supply and open a faucet beyond the

connection to relieve water pressure. Then close the faucet

when depressurized.

Step 3 – Make sure water ﬂow direction coincides with the “IN” and

“OUT” ports marked on the unit.

Step 4 – Cut the water line where the Whole House Filter is to be

installed. The amount of pipe to be removed will be depen-

dent on the type of ﬁttings used. Copper pipes need to be

cleaned & de-burred of any imperfections.

Step 5 – Using the ﬁttings previously purchased, make sure that the

ﬂow direction is correct through the ﬁlter system and plumb

the system to the waterline.

For copper pipes we recommend using brass 3/4" MPT

x plumbing size (1/2" or 3/4") compression style fittings.

For all other material types, check with your plumbing

professional.

Make sure not to overtighten threaded port to the unit!

CAUTION

Operational Paramaters

NOTICE

This unit must be installed vertically with the lid on top.

NOTICE

If pipes will be sweat soldered, do not connect into the unit

until the pipes have cooled. Make sure to use Teflon tape on

all male pipe threading used.

NOTICE

Figure 1: There are several ways to plumb your Whole House Filter into your existing water line.

The diagram above is the basic install layout.

Start Up

Step 1 – Make sure the valve on the lid is turned to “FLOW”.

Step 2 – Open a faucet downstream of the Whole House ﬁlter unit.

Step 3 – Slowly turn on main water supply until faucet downstream

is steadily ﬂowing.

Step 4 – Turn off faucet and check for leaks at your connections.

Monitor for leaks for 24 hours after installation.

Operating Instructions

This whole-house ﬁlter features a Valve-In-Head design. This

allows you to control water ﬂow through the unit without

additional hardware.

VALVE OPERATION

(SEE LABEL FOR POSITION)

BY-PASS Allows water to continue to flow through the house NOT utilizing the filter.

OFF Shuts off water before the filter.

FLOW Allows water through the house utilizing the filter.

Note: In all three modes the unit will remain under pressure.

Suggested Maintenance

This whole house ﬁlter can use 5, 10, 20, or 50 micron sediment

ﬁlters. This kit includes three (3) 50 micron ﬁlters. The recommended

ﬁlter is a 50 micron. The recommended time for replacing your ﬁlter

is every three (3) to six (6) months depending on your incoming

water conditions. If your water contains more sediment you may be

required to change your ﬁlters more often. Failure to change ﬁlters

regularly will reduce water pressure & ﬂow. Periodically check ﬁlter

for sediment or dirt loading.

Filter Replacement

Step 1 – Shut off the water to the ﬁlter housing by turning the

bypass valve to “BYPASS” or “OFF”.

Step 2 – The bowl of the system can be removed by turning it

clockwise (see Figure 1). Use the supplied ﬁlter wrench to

loosen the housing.

Step 3 – Remove the old ﬁlter and discard.

Step 4 – Clean the ﬁlter housing with a mild soap solution and

rinse with water. Check O-ring and lubricate with water

soluble lubricant.

Step 5 – Replace ﬁlter.

Step 6 – Reinstall by turning the ﬁlter bowl counter-clockwise (see

Figure 1) onto the lid. Make sure O-ring is properly seated.

Step 7 – Turn bypass valve back to “FLOW”.

Step 8 – Check for leaks. Monitor unit for leaks for 24 hours after

ﬁlter replacement.
