Kinetico SMF Series Water Filtration System

About Your Water Filtration System

Water is the most important resource liquid in the world.

And although the water you use for drinking and cooking

constitutes less than one percent of all water used in the

home, its quality is probably most important to you.

Experts suggest you drink approximately eight, eight-

ounce glasses of water per day. Now that you have a

Kinetico Water Filtration System, you can rest assured

you’re drinking clean, high quality water. And it will

taste great too. With a Kinetico Water Filtration System,

drinking those eight glasses of water will be a pleasure,

not a chore.

How To Use High Quality Drinking Water

Since Water Filtration Systems signiﬁcantly reduce heavy metals* (such as lead),

sediment, and unpleasant tastes and odors in your water**, you may want to make

some adjustments when cooking using your Water Filtration System.

* Not Performance Tested or Certiﬁed by NSF

** The contaminants listed are not necessarily in your water.

Let your taste buds decide how much water to use.

When mixing concentrated juices and drinks or making gelatin, tea or

coee, you may need to adjust the amount of water used. You may ﬁnd that

you can use less coee or tea and still get the desired taste. Or in the case

of concentrated drinks, you can add more water without getting a watered-

down taste. Also, it probably won’t be necessary for you to descale your

automatic coee maker with vinegar as recommended.

Your Filtered Water is ideal for cooking and baking.

Don’t forget to use water from your Filtered Water

System for cooking pasta, and washing fruits and

vegetables. Whenever a recipe calls for water, reach

for your drinking water tap.

Use your Filtered Water in irons and small humidiﬁers/vaporizers.

For extended operation and easier maintenance, use this Filtered Water in

irons and small humidiﬁers. You’ll no longer have to buy distilled water or

suer the consequences of using common tap water in irons and humidiﬁers.

Make ice cubes with your Filtered Water.

If your refrigerator/freezer is equipped

with an ice maker, you may want to

consider running a line from your

system to the ice maker. If you don’t

have an ice maker, be sure to ﬁll your

ice cube trays with Filtered Water.

Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy

better tasting and clearer ice cubes.

Houseplants and pets like Filtered Water too.

Don’t forget about your plants and pets. Just like you, they’ll love Kinetico

Filtered Water.

Maintaining Your Water Filtration System

NOTE: You must follow the Water Filtration System’s operational, maintenance

and replacement instructions to ensure proper system performance.

Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of

unknown quality.

The Water Filtration System must be properly maintained to continue providing

high quality drinking water.

Shutting O the System

If you should ever discover a problem with your Water Filtration System, turn o

the water supply to the system. Then call your local, authorized Kinetico dealer

for service.

Filter Changes

An average family of four with average drinking water use can expect the

ﬁltration cartridge to last approximately nine months to one year. Kinetico

recommends changing the cartridge at least once per year, or if the water ﬂow

is reduced to an unacceptable level, or bad taste and/or odor return.

Your local, authorized Kinetico dealer will change your cartridge, check your

water and make sure your system is operating properly. If you choose to install

your new cartridge yourself, follow the instructions in the cartridge replacement

section at the end of this manual carefully. Never attempt to remove the system’s

cartridge without ﬁrst depressurizing the system.

Kinetico SMF Series Water Filtration System

Install Your Kinetico Water Filtration System

What to Know Prior to Installation

• The Kinetico Water Filtration System is not to be used where water is

microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after unit. Systems certiﬁed for cyst reduction may be

used on disinfected waters that may contain ﬁlterable cysts.

• For best performance and to maintain full capacity, it is recommended to

install a preﬁlter to protect this system.

• Do not install where line pressure is outside of 30-100 psi, or where

temperature is lower than 40˚F or exceeds 100˚F.

• Installation must comply with any existing local plumbing codes.

• The unit(s) must be protected against freezing. Failure to do so may result

in cracking of the ﬁlter and water leakage.

• This Kinetico Water Filtration System is designed for cold water line use

only. Passing hot water through the system may seriously damage ﬁlter

housing.

• Filter must be in contact with water at all times.

• Recommended pH range is 6 to 8.5.

• Recommended inlet pressure is 60 psi.

• Tools needed: drill, screwdriver, tube cutters (if hard plumbing: lead free

solder, heating device and ﬂux).

Installation Instructions

Before Installing:

1. Determine plumbing requirements

2. Open box and verify all appropriate materials are present:

• Filter System

• Kit - Spare o-rings and lubricant

• Mounting Track(s)

• Spare E-clips

• Instruction Manual

Step one:

Turn o water feeding the appliance and ensure

water-consuming appliance is turned OFF.

Select appropriate space to install the ﬁltration

system. The water ﬁlter should be mounted upright

on a vertical surface without obstructions; leaving a

minimum of 6” space below the system for cartridge

change outs. System measurements are shown below.

Step two:

Prepare space for the system:

1. Select appropriate space to install the ﬁltration system. The water ﬁlter

should be mounted upright on a vertical surface without obstructions;

leaving a minimum of 6” space below the system for cartridge change outs.

System measurements are shown below.

2. Identify incoming water line. Filtration System should be connected to cold

water only.

NOTE: For post mix, verify the water line selected is the one entering the

carbonator - NOT the carbonated water line. If a water booster pump

is present, the Filtration System should be installed after the water

boost before the carbonator.

3. Cut water supply lines.

NOTE: If hard copper plumbing is present, use only lead-free solder and protect

ﬁlter housing from heat. Do not solder within 12” of plastic parts.

4. If an existing ﬁlter needs to be removed, terminate both ends of plumbing

with appropriate ﬁttings.

NOTE: Follow appropriate plumbing codes.

Step tHree:

Standard Install - locate support stud, choose correct mounting hardware for

surface and attach back plate to wall:

1. Using a level, mark screw holes for back plate. Drill holes, and insert anchors.

NOTE: Use standard wall anchors or an alternative wall anchor related to

support at least 50 lbs.

2. Screw back plate into wall anchors. Slide ﬁlter head onto back plate.

Step FoUr:

Attach ﬁttings

1. Use appropriate 3/4”(NPT) ﬁttings and tubing to allow for a ﬂow rate of 5

to 10 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) (See 1). Do not over tighten ﬁttings into

plastic parts! Warranty will be voided if parts are cracked and/or broken due

to misuse and/or over tightening! Use only Selecto approved, SMF Modular

ﬁttings!

Connect water ﬁlter inlet to cold water supply. Use approved ﬂexible

beverage tubing where possible with correct sized tube clamps. If hard

plumbing is necessary then use only lead free solder and protect ﬁlter

housing from excessive heat. Do not solder within 12” of plastic parts!

2. From outlet of water ﬁlter use no less than 3/4”(NPT) ID tubing to all speciﬁed

equipment. It is only permissible to decrease line size when multiple lines are

being used (See 2).

* Teeing the tubing should be done appropriately, for example 3/4”(NPT)

x 3/4”(NPT) x 3/4”(NPT). This is only to be done at equipment location if

line is to be used for other equipment.

Step Five:

Install Cartridge:

1. Generously lubricate inner and outer o-ring using food grade lubrication

provided.

2. Align cartridge tabs as indicated on head and insert cartridge and twist to lock

into place

Kinetico SMF Series Water Filtration System

Step Six:

Check Installation:

1. Turn on water.

2. Slowly turn inlet ball valve to ON position, allowing

water to ﬁll ﬁlter system. Verify that there is no leak

between ﬁlter head and cartridge.

3. Open ﬂush valve for 30-60 seconds to verify water

ﬂow and leak issues. Make sure that the water is clean

and free of air bubbles.

For split twin system, ﬂush water from both ﬂush valves

4. Close ﬂush valve(s).

5. Plug/turn equipment ON. Start drawing water from equipment to remove

remaining air from the system water lines. Keep water running for approximately

one minute until only water without air ﬂows through. If possible/applicable, run

carbonated water.

Step Seven:

Use permanent marker to record the installation date on the date label.
