1. The recommended installation has a shut-off valve on both the inlet
and outlet sides of the filter. The installation shown uses copper piping. The
weight of the filter should be supported so it does not stress the pipes. The
main house water shut-off valve can be used as the inlet side shut-off valve.
2. Apply about three wraps of plumber tape in clockwise direction to pipe threads
of each fitting.
3. Assemble all fittings. Start adapters into cap by hand. Use a wrench to tighten
firmly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
4. Measure length (shown as X on diagram) across assembled fittings and
subtract 1-inch if you are installing on 3/4-inch pipe, or 1-1/2 inches if you are
installing on 1-inch pipe. Mark section of pipe to be removed.
5. Turn off the main water supply valve and open a faucet on the lowest level of
you home to drain the system. Cut the correct length of pipe. Use a pipe cutter
or hacksaw. File or sand the ends of the pipe to make sure they are smooth and
square.
NOTE: Have a bucket handy to catch any water that may come out of the pipe.
6. Align filter assembly with ends of pipe, making certain cap opening marked
"IN" is facing the incoming water supply. It will be necessary to spread ends
of pipe apart to install filter assembly. Using two adjustable wrenches, hold
incoming adapter securely with one wrench and tighten nut with second
wrench. Repeat procedure for outgoing adapter.
Slowly turn on water supply to the filter and depress the red pressure-relief
button on cap to release trapped air. Check for leaks. Open the nearest faucet
and flush for 10 minutes, wait one hour, then flush again for 10 minutes.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are used to
ground your house's electrical system, install a No. 8 AWG jumper wire (or
larger) around the filter (see Figure 5). 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.
