Hydro-Logic Big Boy - Manual

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR:
Extra High-Flow De-Chlorinator and Sediment Filter
This filter can be set up as either a whole house (point of entry) filter or a stand alone (point of use) filter. It has
high flow rates of 7 gallons per minute and a very long life of 25,000 gallons*. The filter can effectively remove
99% of free chlorine, 95% of sediment (sand, silt, rust), objectionable tastes and odors, and volatile organic
compounds. It will NOT significantly reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and lower the PPM of your water. The
majority of the PPM of your water is made up of dissolved minerals which can only be removed with Reverse
Osmosis or ion exchange technologies. Inquire about these at your dealer or directly from Hydro-Logic. You
will, however, be producing large amounts of chlorine and sediment free water that has a clean taste and smell.
*50,000 gallon filter life with upgraded KDF/85 carbon filter
Important Notes: a) Do not run filter system when house pressure is over 80psi.
b) The pressure gauges have colored sections that indicate safe and optimal operating
pressure. The green zone is the optimal range for inlet pressure.
Instructions below are for a whole house (point of entry) filtration set-up
1. Shut off water to house or residence.
2. Relieve water pressure by opening a faucet. Prepare for any leakage from installation (tap) point.
3. Install filtration system at tap point. (Typically between water main, and water heater)
(a) Mount bracket to wall using appropriate hardware (make sure screws are secured to
material capable of supporting the weight of the system)
(b) Install an optional emergency shut off/filter change valve onto ‘feed’ side. This is
available at hardware stores or from your dealer.
(c) Hook up filtration system after shut off valve (the side labeled ‘Prefilter’ goes first)
(d) Connect other side of filtration system to product side of tap point. This is the side
that feeds the house with purified water.
4. Turn water on slowly until water comes out of the filter and check for leaks (remember to shut off water
before attempting to repair leaks)
