Important Installation Instructions - 3M Filtrete 4WH-QS-S01 Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• On plastic fi ttings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fi ttings, as damage may occur if overtightening occurs.
Instructions below reference Figure 2.
1. Plan system location, support, layout and size.
2. Shut off main water supply. Depressurize water lines by opening a faucet downstream.
3. Using pipe cutters, remove a section of pipe in the install location corresponding to the size of the predetermined system assembly.
Keep a bucket and towel handy to catch and wipe up any water that drains from the line while cutting.
4. Assemble and install system as shown, observing correct fl ow direction of manifold. Use three shut-off valves and one fi ltration unit as shown.
Use pipe and sweated connections to assemble system. Support system by fastening bracket to wall or other framing. Alternatively, pipe hangers
may be installed on both sides of the fi lter head.
5. Insert fi lter into fi lter head. Push fi lter up, then turn one quarter of a turn to the right until it stops.
6. Ensure valve 1 and faucet downstream are open. Close valves 2 and 3. Turn on water supply, check for leaks.
7. While water is running through faucet, close valve 1, open valves 2 and 3. Allow fi lter to fi ll up.
8. Close valve 3, check for leaks again. If leaks, see Troubleshooting Section. If no leaks occur, open valve 3, let water run,
fl ushing air from the system for 10 gallons.
9. Close faucet.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or fl ooding:
• The disposable fi lter MUST be replaced every 12 months or at the rated capacity or sooner if a noticeable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of water
used. We recommend you change your fi lter at the rated service interval
or earlier if a noticeable reduction in fl ow rate occurs.
Note: Before changing fi lter, turn off water supply. Place a bucket
under fi lter to catch the small amount of water that will run out after
fi lter removal.
1. Close shut-off valve before fi lter head. Depressurize water lines by opening a
faucet downstream until water fl ow stops. Leave faucet open. Close shut-off
valve after fi lter head.
2. With both hands, turn fi lter one quarter of a turn to the left until it releases
from the fi lter head.
3. Insert new fi lter into fi lter head, turn one quarter of a turn to the right until it
stops. Ensure the lock icons line up with the hash mark on the fi lter head.
4. Open shut-off valve after fi lter head. Open shut-off valve before fi lter head.
Let water fl ush for 10 gallons (approx. 15 minutes).
5. Close faucet and check for leaks.
Replacement fi lters can be purchased at original point of sale.
