inlet Water plumbinG
The plumbing leading to the Carbon Filter Kit must be flushed
clear of all debris before connecting to the filter head inlet. Hold
a bucket at the inlet water line and slowly open the inlet water
valve. Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
mountinG tHe SYStem
Before mounting the Carbon Filter Kit, please consider the items
listed below:
• The kit must be mounted with sufficient access for replacing
the Carbon Element. The Carbon Housing is 22 inches tall.
An additional 3 inches should be allowed below the housing
to allow proper access when changing the Carbon Element.
• The kit must be mounted with hardware capable of
supporting 20 lbs or more of weight.
• The Mounting Bracket supplied with the kit can be mounted
either up or down (Figure 2). The bracket comes with
screws for attaching the bracket to the head. These special
thread-forming screws should only be used for mounting
the head to the bracket.
• The Carbon 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
Carbon Head and note that the inlet connection is labeled
“Cartridge Inlet – Bag Outlet” (Figure 2).
• The kit must be installed upstream of all consumable water
access points.
• The inlet water should only be connected to the “Cartridge
Inlet – Bag Outlet” port on the Carbon Head. The filtered
water should only be connected to the “Cartridge Outlet –
Bag Inlet” port on the Carbon Head (Figure 2).
The Mounting Bracket should be attached to the Carbon Head
first before attaching to the wall.
attacHinG to tHe inlet
The Cartridge Inlet connection has both 1” NPT female thread
and 1-½” NPT female thread. Be careful not to over tighten
a fitting into the head. It is recommended that a plastic fitting
be used in the inlet. Use a pipe thread sealant that is drinking
water-approved for use on plastic fittings.

The head outlet connection has both 1” NPT female thread and
1-½” NPT female thread. Be careful not to over tighten a fitting
into the head. It is recommended that a plastic fitting be used
in the outlet. Use a pipe thread sealant that is drinking water-
approved for use on plastic fittings.
Sanitizing the System and lines
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible contami-
nation that may have occurred during the installation process.
Liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach, unscented 6% sodium
hypochlorite) can be used to sanitize the plumbing. The amount
of bleach to use depends on the system installed and the
amount of plumbing downstream of the Carbon Kit. Generally 10
drops (one-half ml) of bleach is sufficient to sanitize the housing
and associated plumbing.
caution
make sure the follow any handling or safety instructions
supplied with the bleach.
note: make sure the carbon element is not installed and
removed from the carbon Housing before sanitizing.
1. Direct the water line from the outlet of the Carbon
Element Head to a drain.
2. Unscrew the Carbon Housing counterclockwise to remove
the housing from the head.
3. Pour the liquid chlorine bleach into the housing.
4. Screw the Carbon Housing (containing the bleach) into
the Carbon Element Head. Tighten the housing until it
stops. The housing will come to a hard stop at the end of
the thread. Use the Filter Wrench if necessary.
5. Slowly turn on the water supply and pressurize the sys-
tem. Allow water to flow out of the Carbon 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.
