Capacity (Grains)
These Cartridges do not have grain removal capacity,
however, other contiminants present in the water will
gradually degrade the effectiveness of this cartridge. It is
recommended to change the cartridge altleast once
a year
Installation Precautions
• Do NOT install system on line pressure above 125 psi.
• Do NOT install system on HOT water line. Failure to limit line temperature to 100°F may result in housing failure
and damage.
• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of teflon tape.
• Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to filter housing. Filter housing will be damaged by high temperature.
• Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 32°F.
• Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being
struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item that may cause damage.
• ALLOW a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for filter replacement.
• IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before the Scaleless unit.
• Do NOT overtighten fitting connections into inlet valve our housing outlet.
• Do NOT install the unit behind equipment where it may be difficult to access the system for filter replacement.
Position the Scaleless unit in a suitable location. The direction of flow through the Scaleless unit is always left to right; keep
this in mind when determining installation location. Do NOT mount the Scaleless system near any source of heat. Also, do
not mount the system above any device or area that would be adversely affected by water.
Installation Procedure (See Installation Drawings for Detail)
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the Scaleless System, locate water supply cut-off valve and turn OFF
2. Determine if the water line has an existing water treatment system. If so, examine system for use of polyphospate or
other scale inhibitors. Scaleless will not be effective if used in conjunction with other scale inhibitors. Remove the scale
inhibitors from the water line or discontinue installation.
3. Install a 1/2” full-flow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.
4. Anchor the Scaleless System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs. System must be vertical
and upright.
5. Run a suitable line from the 1/2” full-flow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of the
Scaleless system. Use 2-3 wraps of teflon tape and brace the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench when con-
necting the feed water line. NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE.
6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the outlet of the Scaleless System. NOTE:
DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making connection to the equipment this line will be
used to facilitate flushing the system. As an option, a drain valve in a tee on the outlet side of the Scaleless system could
be provided in the line to facilitate flushing when changing filters.
7. With System inlet valve closed, slowly open the 1/2” full-flow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks.
8. If a drain valve was not installed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to equipment in a clean
bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water to flush through system for 2 minutes at
the specified system flow rate to allow air bubbles to escape. NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE SCALELESS
SYSTEM TO PERFORM PROPERLY. FLUSHING IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTEM.
