system which makes servicing easier.
Hard copper pipe generally comes in two types. Use the thicker "L" type
copper pipe rather than thinner "M" type copper pipe.
Follow all local plumbing and building codes.
Installation
1.
Turn off the main line water shutoff valve to the house.
2. Next, open all plumbing fixtures in the house in order to drain the lines of as much
water as possible.
3. The filter should be installed on the main water supply line near where it enters the
house, at any point past the main shut-off valve for the whole house, but before pipes
branch off into multiple directions. However you may choose to locate the filter after the
line branches to the inside and outside plumbing depending on your desire for filtered
water in your outdoor plumbing.
4.
Measure, cut and remove a section of the main incoming water line near where the
system is to be installed. When determining the length of pipe to cut, account for filter
width, shut off valves, union fittings, nipple fittings, pressure gauges (if used) and by-
pass valve (if used). Allow this line to drain thoroughly. Smooth the newly cut ends
down to avoid jagged points or edges.
Your filter should be located in a dry, level
area and protected from freezing, and direct sunlight.
5.
Place a shutoff valve and/or a pressure gauge (optional) immediately on either side of
the filter for future ease of service.
6.
Securely mount the whole house filter using supplied mounting bracket and bolts.
Ensure system is level.
7.
You may now need to adjust pipe length or distance. Fit a pipe union onto the cut
section of the main Water Line IN. (see diagram).
8.
Fit together pipe union and shut off valve. Use Teflon tape on threaded fittings.
9.
Simultaneously fit together shut off valve and whole house filter using pipe nipple or
hex nipple to draw then together on the IN side of the filter.
10.
Fit pipe hanger on water IN side for additional support.
11.
Simultaneously fit together filter and the shut off valve on the OUT side of the filter.
Fit pipe union to shut off valve on OUT side.
