Operating Instructions
This whole-house filter features a Valve-In-Head design. This
allows you to control water flow through the unit without
additional hardware.
(SEE LABEL FOR POSITION)
VALVE OPERATION
BY-PASS
Allows water to continue to flow through the house NOT utilizing the filter.
OFF
Shuts off water before the filter.
FILTER
Allows water through the house utilizing the filter.
Note: In all three modes the unit will remain under pressure.
Suggested Maintenance
This whole house filter can use 5, 10, 20, or 50 micron sediment
filters. This kit includes three (3) 50 micron filters. The recommended
filter is a 50 micron. The recommended time for replacing your filter
is every three (3) to six (6) months depending on your incoming
water conditions. If your water contains more sediment you may be
required to change your filters more often. Failure to change filters
regularly will reduce water pressure & flow. Periodically check filter
for sediment or dirt loading.
