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. 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 like olive oil. 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 If purchased 1 inch quick connect ttings (not included) the 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
