1.1 Check to see what is the size of water line that you will be tapping into.
1.2 Verify what material your water pipe is made of; Copper, PVC schedule 40/80, Black
Iron or Galvanized pipe. Watts Quick Connect ttings accept all water pipe materials.
1.3 If needed, purchase the required ttings and/or materials from your local hardware or
plumbing center to make the connections to the Whole House system. PVC
reducing bushings are recommended if the porting requires reducing.
1: Water Line
2: Mounting of Bracket
2.1 The direction of your water ow through your homes plumbing will determine the way
the bracket is mounted on the lter lid.
2.2 Align the small pattern of hole on the bracket with the hole patterns of the lter lid.
2.3 Using the four 5/16 lag bolts and at washers attach the bracket to the lter lid,
do not overtighten!
*** The lter should be changed every six months or sooner if needed. ***
System Maintenance
To change your lters, shut off the main water supply using the ball valve on the ltration
system and open a faucet downstream of the system to reduce water pressure. Push the Red
Pressure Relieve Valve on top of the housing lid to depressurize the unit. The lter bowl can be
removed by turning it clockwise.
Remove old lter and discard. Rinse lter bowl and replace lter. Use a water soluble lubricant
to lubricate the O-ring . Make sure O-ring is properly seated when replacing lter bowl. Do not
over-tighten housing.
4.3 Mount the system to the wall using the mounting bracket.
4.4 Pipe ends that will connect to the quick connect ttings should have a clean smooth nish
for proper seal against the inner O-rings. Rough edges should be sanded down to prevent
damage to the O-rings or any part of the quick connect ttings.
4.5 To make a connection, push the water pipe into the quick connect tting until fully
seated. Approximately 1.5” of the water pipe should go into the quick connect tting
when installed properly.
Plumb water line to system while making sure that the ow direction is correct through the lter
system. (IN/OUT)
Note: A manual by-pass may be installed
