SF1XX Manifold and ScaleGARD™ HT Systems
SF1XX High Flow series water filtration systems combine chlorine taste and odor reduction with particulate
reduction, and help protect equipment from the potentially harmful effects of scale formation, even at application
temperaturesto200°F(93°C).Theinletwaterentersthemanifoldontheleftrearsideandexitsthroughthescale-
inhibitor feeder on the right front side. The capacity of the system is equal to the flow rate and capacity rating for
the filter cartridges used.
Inlet and Outlet Connections
The water inlet is on the left rear side and the outlet is on the right front side. These are identified with labels. The
ttingsizeis3/4”NPT(Male).Abuilt-incheckvalve(non-return)isincorporatedintotheoutlet.

Equipment Start-up Procedure
1. Turn on incoming water to system.
2. Pressurize system by rotating the inlet ball valve handle 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to the “ON” position.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Use any downstream vent to remove trapped air.
5. Flush system in accordance with the Performance Data Sheet for the water filter cartridge. System is now
ready to use.
Cartridge Change-out Procedure
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
 •InstallationandUseMUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
 •ThedisposableltercartridgeMUST be replaced every 12 months or at the rated capacity or if a noticeable
reduction in flow rate occurs.
The water filter cartridge will need to be changed every 6-12 months or when low pressure is indicated on the
manifold’s pressure gauge, whichever occurs first. Depending on local water quality, you may need to change the
cartridges prior to the recommended change-out.
1. Shut off the inlet water by rotating the inlet ball valve 1/4 turn clockwise to the “OFF” position.
2 Depressurize system.
3. Push tab to release cartridge locking mechanism while simultaneously rotating cartridge slightly to the left.
4. Using both hands and holding cartridge from the bottom, rotate the cartridge a quarter turn to the left and
gently pull down. IMPORTANT NOTE: A small amount of water will drain from manifold as cartridge is re-
moved.
5. Remove sanitary cap from new cartridge. Install cartridge with a quarter turn to the right until cartridge comes
to a complete stop.
6. Removethesmallscaleinhibitorcartridgebyrotatingtotheleft(counterclockwise)untilthethreadsaredis-
engaged.Replacewithanewcartridgebyrotatingtotheright(clockwise)untilthethreadsarefullyengaged
and snug, regardless of final label orientation.
7. Slowly turn the inlet ball valve on the manifold 1/4 counter-clockwise to the “ON” position and check for
leaks.
8. Flush system in accordance with the Performance Data Sheet. System is now ready for use.
