Aquasana AQ-4100 User manual

4Attach the assem-
bled filter system
to the supply pipe as shown in
figure 1.
While holding the shower filter in
a stationary position, thread the
chrome swivel collar onto the
shower pipe by turning clockwise.
Tighten the connector finger tight
and then, using a pair of pliers,
turn an additional 1/4 turn or until
the filter system retains a firm po-
sition. Over tightening may
cause the washer to compress
into the inside of the shower
pipe, resulting in leakage
around connector. If this oc-
curs, remove swivel collar from
pipe, reinstall the washer and
reconnect to the shower pipe.

Aquasana Installation & Operation Instructions
5Flush and activate
the filter
Once the filter unit is installed in
the proper position it is time to
flush and activate the filter car-
tridge.
6Use cold water
for the initial flushing, see “Note”
below for flushing precaution.
After the water has turned clear,
adjust the temperature up to a
normal shower temp. Notice that
there is a slight delay in tempera-
ture adjustment due to the vol-
ume of water in the filter; take this
delay into account when making
temperature adjustments. Make
slight adjustments and wait 30
seconds for temperature
change. Run water until clear
and then turn off and then back
on several times. Repeat this pro-
cedure until the initial surge of
water is free of discoloration.
Note
The initial surge of water will be discolored due
to carbon fines and may soil your shower stall. It
is recommended that you capture the first 1-2
gallons of water in a bucket. This carbonized
water is very beneficial to plants and the envi-
ronment and can be discarded in a plant bed or
down the drain.
7Attach the shower
head to the filter body as shown
in figure 2.

ing in healthy, chlorine free wa-

AQ-4100 Deluxe Shower Filtration System
You’ll be amazed at the
difference!
Flow rate, chlorine reduction and health benefits.
The Aquasana Deluxe Shower Filtration System is designed to produce
the highest quality water possible with the least amount of pressure loss.
Aquasana’s patented 2 stage filter cartridge substantially reduces
chlorine and other chemicals present in tap water. Some water volume is
lost in the filtering process that will result in 20% to 25% savings in water
and heating expense.
In compliance with California State law, this system has a maximum
flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute. The Aquasana adjustable shower
head can be adjusted to the desired pressure while still conserving water
usage.
The filter cartridge will filter up to 10,000 gallons of water and should be
replaced every 6 months per instructions. Enclosed with this product is
the Aquasana “Water 4 Life” auto-ship form for added savings and con-
venience.
Removing chlorine from shower water offers very noticeable cos-
metic benefits. Chlorine robs our skin and hair of the natural oils
that retain moisture and elasticity. Without the harsh effects of
chlorine you will experience softer, healthier skin and hair… like
showering in natural spring water.
Other than the immediate cosmetic affects, shower filtration offers
significant health protection and benefits. Inhalation of chlorine with
steam and skin absorption while showering have been linked to breast,
colon and bladder cancer as well as asthma. Chlorine is a poison, and
while its effects are tolerated in order to prevent water borne disease
from bacteria, it is well documented and understood that it has dramatic
adverse health effects. See WaterWarning.com or Aquasana.com for
specific data and reports on this subject.
