SET-UP, INSTALLATION OF UNIT & BYPASS AND START-UP:
(1) Shut off main water supply.
(2) Install at main, point of entry or designated water line using proper plumber supplied pipe, fittings,
unions and ball (shut-off) valves to the inlet, outlet and bypass of the unit.
(3) Install a bypass with proper ball valves before inlet and after outlet of unit and on bypassed line. (Note) Make
sure unions are installed between the inlet and outlet of the unit and the installed ball valves for future unit servicing.
(4) Once unit installation and bypass is complete, open main water supply.
(5) Slowly open (less than 1/2 regular flow rate or less than 5 gpm) inlet of unit and close bypass. Keep outlet of
unit closed and allow unit to fill slowly. Check unit at inlet connections, housings, bracket and housing connections.
(6) Once filled, open inlet and outlet of unit completely. Check all connections.
(7) Flush unit and lines of any debris. Find nearest faucet to the unit, remove aerator or any restriction, and open
cold side only. Flush through faucet until water runs clear. Open all faucets to clear air in lines.
(8) Affix a plumber service label or card on unit and record installation date. Leave this booklet and warranty booklet
with unit and/or consumer. Replace filters up to one year after initial installation and/or at regular or needed intervals.**
