The control valve, fitting assemblies and bypass valve are 

designed  to  accommodate  minor  plumbing  misalignments 

but are not designed to support the weight of a system or 

the plumbing.
Do  not  use  Vaseline,  oils,  other  hydrocarbon  lubricants  or 

spray  silicone  anywhere. A  silicone  lubricant  may  be  used 

on  black  o-rings  but  is  not  necessary. 

Avoid  any  type  of 

lubricants, including silicone, on the clear lip seals.

The  nuts  and  caps  are  designed  to  be  unscrewed  or 

tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench (V3193). 

If necessary, pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. 

Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. 

Do not place a screw driver in the slots on caps and/or tap 

with a hammer.
Do  not  use  pipe  dope  or  other  sealants  on  threads.  Use 

Teflon  tape  on  the  threaded  inlet,  outlet  and  drain  fittings. 

Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps 

because of o-rings seals.
After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive 

assembly  or  the  drive  cap  assembly  and  pistons,  unplug 

power source jack from the printed circuit board (black wire) 
and plug back in or press and hold 

NEXT

  and 

REGEN

 buttons 

for 3 seconds. This resets the electronics and establishes the 

service piston position. The display should flash the software 

version and then reset the valve to the service position.
Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting 

the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between 

the drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering 

pipes  that  are  connected  on  the  drain  line  control  fitting. 

Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain 

line flow control fitting.
When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and 

outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and 

then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering 

or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. 

Solder  joints  should  be  cool  and  solvent  cements  should 

be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid 

getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-ring, 

split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
If  the  building’s  plumbing  is  metal  (e.g.  copper)  and  the 

building’s  electrical  system  is  grounded  to  the  plumbing, 

install a copper grounding strap from the filter inlet pipe to 

the filter outlet pipe.

This water filter is not to be used for treating water that is 

microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without 

adequate disinfection before or after treatment.
The Enhanced Oxidation Generator (EOG) is an ozone 

generator  for  use  with  LXKATAIRO3  models 

ONLY

Ozone  is 

NOT

  recommended  for  filter  models  using 

Carbon, Catalytic Carbon or Birm.
Do 

NOT

 use the ozone generator on chlorinated water 

supplies  -  chlorate  may  be  formed  with  the  presence 

of  residual  chlorine.  The  chlorate  ion  is  one  of  the 

contaminants being considered for regulation in drinking 

water under the disinfection by-product rule.

GENERAL INSTALLATION 

AND SERVICE WARNINGS

PRE-INSTALLATION

REVIEW

WATER PRESSURE: 

A minimum of 20 psi water pressure 

is required for backwash. Maximum 100 psi. 

CAUTION:

 the 

filter cannot be subject to a vacuum due to loss of pressure 

(such as a water main break or submersible well pump check 

valve  failure)  as  this  may  cause  the  filter  tank  to  implode 

and could cause leakage. Provide a vacuum breaker in the 

installation if the possibility of a vacuum could occur.

WATER TEMPERATURE:

 The range of water temperature 

is 40°F to 100°F. DO NOT install any water filter with less 

than 10 feet of piping between its outlet and the inlet of a 

water heater. 

CAUTION:

 the use of a thermal expansion tank 

might be required to protect the filter in the event of a hot 

water heater backup. Refer to installation diagrams.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 

DO NOT locate filter where it or 

its connections (including the drain line) will ever be subject 

to room temperatures under 33°F.

ELECTRICITY:

  An  uninterrupted  120  volt  60Hz  source 

is  required. 

Make  sure  electrical  source  is  not  on  a  timer 

or  switch.

  All  electrical  connections  must  be  connected 

according  to  local  codes. The  plug-in  power  adapter  is  for 

dry locations only. Surge protection is recommended with all 

electrical connections.

only) plug-in power adapter rating...

Input: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.5 A

Output: 12 VDC, 1.5 A

DRAIN:

 

All  plumbing  should  be  done  in  accordance  with 

local  plumbing  codes.  The  distance  between  the  drain 

and  the  water  filter  should  be  as  short  as  possible. Avoid 

overhead drain lines if possible to prevent backpressure on 

the system. Refer to installation diagrams for drain line pipe 

size recommendation.

FILTERING: 

It  is  recommended  that  the  filter  be  installed 

to treat both the hot and cold water supply. Outside faucets 

should be left on untreated water.

BYPASS: 

A bypass valve (included with all models) should 

be  installed  so  that  water  will  be  available  if  it  should  be 

necessary to shut off the pressure in order to service the filter.
