HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS
FEATURES & TERMINOLOGY
Diagnostics
By pressing any button to light the LCD display, the unit will
automatically begin scrolling important information for
diagnostic purposes.
Total Gallons
The total amount of treated water the system can produce between
regenerations.
Regen Time
Time of day that the filter is scheduled to regenerate.
Last Regeneration
The date of the last regeneration cycle.
Total Regeneration
The total number of times the filter has regenerated.
Historical Total Gallons
Total gallons treated by the filter.
Current Flow Rate
It will only display if treated water is running, otherwise, it will read
zero (0).
System Bypass
All systems come with a manual bypass valve which allows you to
bypass the 85UF/DF.This allows raw untreated water to be used in your
home for any reason, including system servicing.
Manual Regen Delay
Generally, used after servicing the valve so that it will regenerate at a
standard pre-set time.
Taste & Odor Filters (TO/TOK models)
Chlorine and organic matter can make your water smell and taste bad. The taste & odor filter uses high-quality granular
activated carbon to adsorb the problem-causing substances. Chlorine is corrosive and can cause pin hole leaks in pipes.
Chloramine Removal Filters (TOC/TOCK models)
Chloramines are now commonly used to disinfect municipal water supplies causing taste & odor problems. Chlorine and chlorimines are also
corrosive and can cause pin hole leaks in pipes . To remove chloramines a special catalytically enhanced carbon is required.
Neutralizing Filters (NU models)
Neutralizing filters raise the pH of acidic water to neutralize corrosiveness protecting fixtures, pipes and appliances.
Iron & Sulfur Filters (IF/GS/ISF/BM models)
Water comes in contact with manganese greensand causing oxidization into solids which can be trapped in the filter bed.
NextSand Turbidity Filters (NEX models)
Remove suspended solids, ferric hydroxide (red water iron) or sediment from your well or water system down to 5 Microns.

WARNING
If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the
water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper
water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the
bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap
must be used between the two lines that have been cut in
order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding
strap will depend upon the number of units being installed
and/or the amount of copper pipe being
replaced with plastic pipe.
See Figure 1.
NOTE
Use of a competent installer or plumbing professional to
ensure this product is installed in accordance with local
plumbing codes is recommended. Canature is not liable for any
non-compliance with local requirements.
MECHANICAL
Do NOT use petroleum-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100% silicone lubricants (packet Part
#92360 provided in parts kit). All plastic connections should be hand tightened only. Thread tape may be used on connections that do not use an
O-ring seal.
Do NOT use pliers or pipe wrenches except when indicated by nut shape, e.g., pipe adapters. All plumbing must be completed according to local
codes. Soldering connections should be done before connecting any plastic pieces to the pipe as excessive heat can damage them.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Two adjustable wrenches.
Additional tools may be required if modication to home plumbing is required.

Plastic inlet and outlet ttings are included with the lter. To maintain full valve ow, use of ¾”or 1”[1.9 cm or 2.54 cm] pipes to
and from the lter. You should maintain the same or larger pipe size as the water supply pipe to the lter inlet and outlet.
Use copper, brass, or PEX pipes and ttings.
Some codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
5/8” [15.8 mm] Outside Diameter drain line is needed for the valve drain.
Drain line tubing may be needed for the optional brine tank overow tting.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Make sure you have a copy of your most recent water test results. If your water has not been tested previously, your professional installer can obtain
a water sample bottle to be sent to one of our facilities for a free analysis. It is important that this product not be installed until you have
this information.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe, or the Noryl bypass valve, an approved ground clamp with
physical separation and no less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity, to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
Select the location for your filter tank with care. Various conditions that contribute to proper
location include:
1. All installation procedures must conform to local or regional plumbing codes. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local
requirements
2. Outside taps used to water lawns and gardens should be isolated from the water line required to supply untreated water
to the inlet of the water filter – a separate (new) line may be needed.
3. Where required by local plumbing codes, a check valve may need to be installed. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local
requirements
4. Locate filter as close as possible to the water supply source.
5. Locate filter as close as possible to a floor or laundry tub drain and a 120 volt AC electrical outlet.
6. Filters should be located before the water heater on the supply line. If closer than three (3) metres [10 feet], install
a check valve in accordance with local plumbing codes.
7. Do NOT install a filter in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to
this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty. Freezing could also result in flooding and / or property loss and damage.
8. Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing.
9. Keep the filter out of direct sunlight.

INSTALLATION STEPS (CONTINUED)
7. Using the included Allen key, place the unit in the bypass position.
a. Slowly turn the main water supply ON.
b. At the nearest cold treated water tap, remove the tap screen, OPEN the tap and let
water run a few minutes or until the system is free of any air or foreign material
resulting from the plumbing work.
MANUAL WATER BYPASS
In case of an emergency, or to perform filter maintenance, you can
isolate your water filter from the water supply using the bypass valve
located at the back of the control.
In normal operation the bypass is OPEN with the ON/OFF knobs in line
with the INLET and OUTLET pipes, i.e., the black marks in the vertical
position. See SERVICE below.
To isolate the filter, simply rotate the knobs as indicated to the CLOSE
position until they lock. You can continue to use your water related
fixtures as the water supply is bypassing the filter. However, the water
you use will be untreated.
To resume treated service, OPEN the bypass valve by rotating the knobs
back to the SERVICE position.
NOTE
Please make sure bypass knobs are completely open
otherwise the untreated water may enter
through the valve.

CAUTION
Before adding POT PERM, please check safety
instructions included with the POT-PERM jug and label.
Pour the entire 5 lb jug of POT PERM into the chemical
tank (included with model CGFE948). The powder
stays above the felt pad while the water/Pot Perm
solution stays below it. Typically, five pounds of POT
PERM should last three to four months or more before
refilling with POT PERM powder is required.

GREENSAND STARTUP
1. Remove the locking clip on the brine fitting & insert one end of the 3/8”tubing (included) into this fitting all the way until the tube can go
in no further. Replace the locking clip.
2. Remove the top lid of the chemical tank. The other end of the tubing goes through the small hole near the top of the chemical tank.
Bring the end of the 3/8”tubing into the brine well and make the connection with the compression fitting on the safety float.
3. The barbed elbow near the middle of the chemical tank is for a“gravity”overflow line in case of a malfunction resulting in a tank
overflow. This must be run to drain. It uses the same size tubing as the drain line. WARNING : DO NOT TEE THESE TWO TOGETHER.
Remove the elastic band from the float assembly inside the chemical tank. DO NOT REMOVE WHITE FELT PAD FROM INSIDE THE
CHEMICAL TANK.
4. Open the bypass inlet very slowly until there is a steady stream of water at the drain. Opening the bypass inlet too quickly could result in
resin being expelled from the unit and into the plumbing lines. With the valve in the backwash position the unit will purge air from the
system, sending it to the drain. This may take longer than the programmed backwash cycle time, so unplug the power so that the valve will
remain in the backwash position.
5. With the bypass inlet now fully open, let the system run until all the air is purged and there is a steady stream of water at the drain.
6. Reconnect the power, press button two (2) to advance to the refill position and allow the unit to refill to 1”[25.4 mm] above the grid
board – this may require manually advancing the unit through its cycles more than once. Alternatively, you can press and hold button 2 (two)
to advance to the service position and manually add the required amount of water as described in the next step.
ADD THE CHEMICAL POTPERM:The bottom of the chemical tank has a felt pad. DO NOT REMOVE THIS FELT PAD. With a bucket or
hose, pour approximately 1 gallon of water into the chemical tank. The exact level is not critical, but be careful not to overflow the tank.
7. With the bypass inlet now fully open, let the system run until all the air is purged and there is a steady stream of water at the drain.
8. Slowly open the bypass OUTLET knob until fully open.

steady stream of water at the drain as this will
result in media being expelled from the unit
START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Now that your water filter is plumbed into position it is time to start up and program the unit.
NOTE
If severe loss in water pressure is ob-
served when the filter unit is initially
placed in service, the filter tank may have
been laid on its side during transit. If this
occurs, backwash the filter to ‘reclassify’
the media.
STEP 1. PURGE AIR FROM THE UNIT
7. Open the bypass inlet very slowly until there is a steady stream of
water at the drain. Opening the bypass inlet too quickly could result in
resin being expelled from the unit and into the plumbing lines. With the
valve in the backwash position the unit will purge air from the system,
sending it to the drain.This may take longer than the programmed
backwash cycle time, so unplug the power so that the valve will remain in
the backwash position.
8. With the bypass inlet now fully open, let the system run until all the air is purged
and there is a steady stream of water at the drain.
9. Reconnect the power, press button two (2) to advance to the refill position and allow the unit to refill to 1”[25.4 mm] above the grid
board or 3” [76.2 mm] of water in cabinet models – this may require manually advancing the unit through its cycles more than once.
Alternatively, you can press and hold button 2 (two) to advance to the service position and manually add the required amount of water
as described in step 1.
10. Allow the unit to return to the SERVICE position.
11. Slowly open the bypass OUTLET knob until fully open.
