Before mounting the TAC System, please consider the following:
• The system must be mounted with sufficient access to replace the
TAC Cartridge. The TAC Housing is 22 inches tall. An additional
3 inches should be allowed below the blue bowl to allow proper
access when changing cartridges.
• The system must be mounted with hardware capable of supporting
20 lbs or more of weight.
• The mounting bracket supplied with the system can be mounted
either up or down (Figure 2). The bracket comes with screws for
attaching the bracket to the TAC Housing Head. These special
thread-forming screws should only be used for mounting the head
to the bracket.
• If installing the mounting bracket face down, be sure to attach the
mounting bracket to the wall before attaching it to the head.
• The TAC Housing Head can be mounted with the inlet on the left or
on the right. When the inlet is on the left, the Red Pressure Relief
Button is at the front. Consult the top of the TAC Housing Head
and note that the inlet connection is labeled “Cartridge Inlet – Bag
Outlet” (Figure 2).
• The TAC System must be installed upstream of all equipment using
hot water.
• The inlet water should only be connected to the “Cartridge Inlet–
Bag Outlet” port on the TAC Housing Head. The filtered water
should only be connected to the “Cartridge Outlet – Bag Inlet” port
on the TAC Housing Head. See Figure 2.

Sanitizing the System and Lines
Th e plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible contamination that
may have occurred during the installation process.
Liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach, unscented 6% sodium hypo-
chlorite) can be used to sanitize the plumbing. The amount of bleach
needed depends on the system installed and the amount of plumbing
downstream of the TAC System. Generally 10 drops (one-half ml) of
bleach is sufficient to sanitize the Housing and associated plumbing.
NoTe: make sure the TAC Cartridge is removed from the housing
before sanitizing.
1. Direct the water line from the outlet of the TAC Housing Head to
a drain.
2. Unscrew the TAC Housing counter clockwise to remove the
housing from the head.
3. Pour the liquid chlorine bleach into the bowl.
4. Screw the TAC Housing (containing the bleach) into the TAC
Housing Head. Tighten the housing until it stops; it will come to a
hard stop at the end of the thread. Use the Filter Wrench if nec-
essary.
NoTe: Do NoT overtighten the TAC Housing Head.
CAuTioN
make sure to follow any handling or safety instructions
supplied with the bleach.
5. Slowly turn on the water supply and pressurize the system.
Allow water to flow out of the housing until the smell of bleach is
present.
6. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand without water
flow for at least 15 minutes to allow the bleach to sanitize the
pipes.
7. After 15 minutes without water flow, turn on the water supply and
flush until the presence of bleach is gone.
8. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system.
