1. Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
2. This system has been tested according to NS /ANSI 42 for reduction of the substances
listed above. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system
was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving
the system, as specified in NS /ANSI 42.
3. Systems conforms to NS /ANSI 42 for the specific performance claims as verified and sub-
stantiated by test data.
Note: This system is not intended to be used for treating water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without disinfection before or after the system.

Installation Procedure
1. Identify installation location. MEGAbite piping should originate shortly after incoming
water supply shutoff, but just after any outside water lines, such that all water intended for
interior use flows through MEGAbite first. IMPORTANT: there must not be any filters in-
stalled upstream of the MEGAbite, or insuffi ient water pressures may affe t operational
performan e. This system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regu-
lations. This system is to be supplied only with cold water.
2. Connect ater piping. This unit has been supplied with a manually operated bypass device
which enables it to be isolated from the water service lines for maintenance and service, and
also maintain the continuity of the water supply when the MEGAbite is disconnected.
IMPORTANT: Make all sweat-solder onne tions within 6 in hes of the unit before apply-
ing threaded fittings to supplied bypass valve. Overheating may ause damage to valve.
Turn supplied bypass valve to “Bypass” position and make connections to household water
lines. Leave unit in “Bypass” position until startup procedure.
3. Connect drain line. Remove barbed or push-to-connect drain line fitting from parts bag.
Apply thread seal tape to threads and turn into the female threaded opening on the back side
of the control valve. Connect 5/8” drain line (supplied in parts bag) to barbed or push-to-
connect end of drain line fitting and run to a nearby drain.
IMPORTANT: It is highly re ommended that a hose lamp be used to se ure tubing to
barbed drain fitting (if appli able) to ensure tubing from being removed during elevated
pressure situations.
Be sure not to submerse drain line end into drain, as a 1-1/2” minimum air gap must be
maintained to prevent potential backflow hazard. irmly secure at drain, while maintaining
a minimum 1-1/2” air gap (See detailed drawing on back side of piping diagram).
4. Connect to electrical po er source. Connect power cord to a separate 120v, 15 amp,
ground fault interrupt (G I) outlet.

ALTERNATE METHOD: IF THERE IS NO UTILITY SINK NEARBY
• Pre-soak MEGAbite filter media: Press and hold the extra cycle button for 5 or more sec-
onds and release. “BW” should appear on screen. After approx. 30 seconds, a count down
timer will appear on the screen. Press extra cycle button again to advance unit. “BR”
should appear on screen. In approx. 30 seconds, a count down timer will appear on the
screen. Again, press extra cycle button. “RR” will appear on screen. After approx. 30 sec-
onds, a count down timer will appear on the screen. Slowly open bypass valve to “service”
position. Allow “RR” cycle to run through completion. Note that water will begin to run
out of drain line as filter unit becomes filled.
• Flush the MEGAbite filter ith ater: When the “RR” cycle has completed, wait ap-
prox.. 2 minutes for unit to advance back into service mode (faucet symbol will appear on
screen). At this point, press and hold extra cycle button for 5 or more seconds and release
to advance unit to “BW” mode. After approx. 30 seconds, water will begin to flow from
drain line. Note that water may appear dirty/discolored for several minutes. This is normal
as media fines are flushed out. Allow water to flow to drain until discoloration is gone
(water is clear). Use extra cycle button to advance unit back into service mode (faucet sym-
bol appears on screen). Note that you’ll need to pass through “BR” and “RR” cycles (with
approx. 30 seconds between cycles for valve to advance).
RUN A COMPLETE REGENERATION
• Regenerate the MEGAbite filter: After flushing is complete, press and hold extra cycle
button for 5 or more seconds and release. Allow the system to run a complete regeneration
and return to service.
Start-Up Procedure
Pla ing unit into servi e
Normal
Operation
Mode Icon − While in service, the Data Display alternates between time of day,
volume remaining or days to regeneration.
− The low Indicator flashes when outlet flow is detected.
− The aucet Icon flashes if a regeneration cycle has been queued.

Control programming is no complete. Press the extra cycle button, and the control ill
exit from the programming mode and resume normal operation.
3. Adjust Regeneration Time: Press the Extra Cycle button to advance to next option. This
setting determines the time of day that the unit will enter the regeneration cycle. The most
common / default setting is 12:30 AM. IMPORTANT: this regeneration time should be offset
from any water softener’s regeneration time by at least 2 hours to insure adequate regenera-
tion pressure.
Start-Up Procedure (continued)
User programming
User Programming Mode Steps (Refer to chart above for user mode indications)
1. Press the Up and Down buttons for five seconds while valve is in service. Display will enter
programming mode. (Note: Timer will discard any changes and exit programming mode if
any button is not pressed for sixty seconds.)
2. Set Day Override: This setting specifies the maximum number of days between regenera-
tion cycles. System will regenerate regardless of usage if the days since last regeneration
cycle equals the day override setting. This ensures regular regeneration periods. The pre-
programmed fa tory re ommended setting is 2 days. Additional re ommendations, based on
iron levels, are shown in the table above.

DO Day Override The timer’s day override setting
RT Regeneration Time The time of day that the system will

Setting Current Time / Day
1. Press either the Up or Down buttons to adjust current time of day by one digit. Push and
hold either up or down set button to adjust current time of day display by several digits.

It is recommended to clean the injector, screen and inlet check valve every 6
months to ensure proper system operation.
rom time-to-time, your iron filter’s air injection screen can become plugged with lint and de-
bris. This results in poor filter regeneration, which (in-turn) can lead to poor filtration perfor-
mance. Another infrequent issue can be the malfunction of the water inlet check valve, due to
fowling with dirt and debris.
Cleaning and unplugging a dirty air injector or an inlet check valve is an easy process. or a

Maintenance / Warranty Information
All BrassMaster and BrassMaster Plus water
softeners / filters feature the Assured Perfor-
mance Modular (APM) design. If you experi-
ence a failure of any valve component, the
brass module can be easily removed and re-
placed.
Reference the BrassMaster and BrassMaster
Plus Technical Video Library on our website
(link is provided below) for detailed steps on
how to remove the module. The required
(downloadable) form to have your module
replaced is also located at this site. Please
contact your dealer or WCC for module sup-
port.
Nearly all serviceable
parts lie within the
removable / replaceable
APM module.
This eliminates costly and
time consuming field repairs.
