PRECAUTIONS
Carefully read and follow instructions.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are
used to ground your house's electrical system, install a No. 8
AWG (8.4mm2) jumper wire (or larger) around the filter. The
jumper wire must be connected at both ends by a pressure wire
fitting or other connection that satisfies NEC or CEC and local
codes. Consult a building inspector or licensed electrician for
more information.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION
The rubber o-ring provides the water-tight seal
between the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important
that the o-ring be properly seated in the groove above the
threads of the housing or a water leak could occur.
CAUTION
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced
every five years for clear and every ten years for opaque. If the
bottom of your housing has been in use for longer than this
period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom
of any new or replacement housing to indicate the next
recommended replacement date.
CAUTION
Do not use electrical heating tape on this unit.
CAUTION
Clear housings may crack or craze in time causing
failure and leakage if exposed to organic solvents, such as those
found in aerosol sprays for cleaning products and insecticides.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
• Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter.
• There must be a shut-off valve before the filter.
• Install filter after water meter or pressure tank.
• Before installing the filter, determine where the unit will be located and
what type of pipe the unit will connect to. The filter head has 3/4-inch NPT
threaded connections molded into it. The distance from the top of the water
piping to the floor must be at least 15-inches for filter change allowance.
Allow a 1-1/2 inch clearance below the housing to allow for changing the
cartridge.

NOTES:
For cold water use only.
•
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
•
this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water
analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water
testing lab.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage, and
•
water conditions.
The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a
•
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
Use only OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges.
•
This installation must comply with all applicable state and
•
local regulations.
Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.
•
Do not use pipe compound (pipe dope), sticks, or similar
compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives
which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the
filter housing.
Use only soap and water to clean filter housing
•
and components.
Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning fluids, etc.)
•
near the filter. They contain organic solvents which will cause
crazing and cracking of the plastic in the filter housing.
After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it
•
is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let
water run for 5–6 minutes before using.
Do not use a torch near the unit.
•
Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges
•
(such as the TO1 or RS1). If your cartridge seems to
disintegrate or develops a musty or moldy odor, switch to a
synthetic media cartridge or consult the manufacturer.
An activated carbon cartridge may contain a small amount of
•
carbon fines (very fine black powder). A new cartridge, after
installation, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove
the fines before using the water.
Wear safety glasses during installation.
