NOTICE
Filter cartridges should be changed at end of filter life, due to lack of
filtering performance, or whenever a 15 psi pressure drop or greater
is experienced during normal operation, whichever comes first .
For all replacement filters and components contact your authorized
Hydro-Safe Foodservice representative .
*Note: The QTCB15S is the same filter as the QTCB15 . Only the
label position has been changed so that the label faces forward on
single cartridge systems .
NOTICE
Cartridge capacities are estimates and may be less depending
on incoming water quality .
Notice to Installers
• Connect the system to cold water supply only. Water Temperature
cannot exceed 100°F (38°C) .
• System must be installed in a vertical, upright and level position.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown water quality .
• Notice to user/owner/operator: Please retain this manual for future
reference for parts, maintenance, or troubleshooting .
• It is recommended that all personnel responsible for operation and
maintenance of this product read the precautions, maintenance,
and operation sections of this manual .
Installation Precautions
• Do not install system on line pressure above the rated pressure as
noted in System Specifications above .
• Do not install the system on a hot water line. Failure to limit the
water temperature to 100°F (38
°
C) can result in housing failure and
property damage .
• Do not connect the system backwards with the feed water line
connected to the outlet .
• Do not use liquid pipe thread compounds for threaded
connections . Use Teflon
®
tape only .
• Do not solder plumbing connections that are attached to the
housings or inlet/outlet fittings . System damage may occur due to
high temperature .
• Do not allow the system to freeze. Turn off water supply and drain
the system if temperature falls below 32°F (0
°
C) .
• Do not install system in direct sunlight or where the system will be
exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being hit by
moving equipment, carts, mops, or any other item that may cause
damage .
• Allow 3" (76mm) minimum clearance under the housings for filter
replacement .
• If water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before
the system .
• Do not over tighten fitting connections.
• Always back up valves and fittings with a wrench when installing
fittings to avoid over tightening or loosening existing fittings .
• Do not install the unit behind equipment where it may be difficult to
access the system for future filter replacements .
Position the system in a suitable location . The direction of flow
through the system is left to right . Keep this in mind when determin-
ing installation locations . Do not mount the system near any source
of heat . Also do not mount this system over anything that may be
adversely affected by water .
Operation
With sufficient pressure, operation of this system is completely auto-
matic . Dependable operation involves only monitoring system pres-
sure differential, periodic filter changes, and service documentation .
