INTRODUCTION
The Pre-Treatment Chemical Removal system removes the Chlorine and other volatile chemicals. This
manual must be read prior to installation and service of Pre-Treatment Chemical Removal Filter.
INSTALLATION
Water Test Results
General Installation and Service Warnings
•The filter is designed so that it can be installed easily with minor plumbing changes at point of
entry on previous plumbing.
•The piping must be clamped properly and the weight of the plumbing must not be on the filter.
•Do not use any kind of lubricant including silicone. A silicone based lubricant can be only used on
black O-Rings but not necessary.
•Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on plastic nuts.
•The nuts can be fastened and unfastened by hand or the plastic service wrench. Do not use pipe
wrench to tighten the caps and nuts.
•Do not block access to main shut off, water meter and other equipment.
Site Requirements
•Water Pressure: - 30-100 psi
•Water Temperature: - 40-110°F (4.4-43°C)
•The tank should be installed on firm level surface

Setup
1) Unpack the system and confirm the components with list. If missing anything report the missing part
to dealer immediately.
2) Fasten the bypass valve nuts on the head of the tank.
3) Turn the bypass valve handles to the bypass position by facing both handles outwards.

Installation Instructions
1) The water heater’s inlet must be at least 10ft away from filter.
2) The unit must be located in a room temperature above 33° F.
3) If vacuum occurrence is expected then the vacuum breaker must be installed at the inlet of the
filter.
4) The unit must not be exposed to direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can damage the system
5) The primer, solder or solder flux must not get on the O-rings while installation.
6) After soldering the lines must be cooled before installing the O-Rings, nuts and caps.
7) If the electrical system is grounded to the plumbing, then a copper strap must be connected
between inlet and outlet as shown in figure.
8) The plumbing must be done by following the local plumbing codes.
9) If heavy dirt and debris has been tested or expected in future, then 20-micron sediment filter should
be installed in pre-treatment.
10) If booster pump is required always install the pump upstream of the system.

BYPASS VALVE
NORMAL OPERATION
The inlet and outlet handles of bypass valve should be pointing
towards the direction of flow. Inlet is labelled on tank head as
downflow inlet. Water flows downwards through the filter bed.
BYPASS OPERATION
The inlet and outlet handles point towards the center of bypass
valve. The system is isolated from the water pressure in the
plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the house in this
position.

START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn off the cold main water supply and inlet to hot water tank to the home and open inside cold
faucets to relieve any pressure within the plumbing system.
2. Place the system in the desired location. Make sure that the location is level and sturdy enough
to support the weight.
3. Place the bypass valve in the up-flow service position.
4. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet of the Soft-tec system. NOTE: The Soft-tec system
operates in the UP-flow mode which is opposite of a conventional softener, see piping schematic in
manual.
5. Place a bucket under the outlet port or run a line from the outlet port to a drain location.
6. Slowly turn the water back on to the house feeding the Soft-tec system up-flow inlet. Allow the
tank to fill with water. Close the supply valve when a steady stream of water comes out of the
outlet port.
7. Close the inside faucets.
8. Connect the outlet of the Soft-tec system to the cold-water supply to the house.
9. Slowly open the supply valve to the Soft-tec system.
10. Open the closest cold water faucet downstream from the Soft-tec system to relieve any air
from the plumbing system and run until water is clear.
11. Open inlet feed water supply to hot water tank.
12. Open other cold water faucets in the house to release any excess air and run until water is clear.
13. The filter system is now ready for standard water usage providing filtered water to every tap.
