FOLLOWTHE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE UNIT PROPERLY VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION, READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL. THEN, OBTAIN ALL THE MATERIALS AND TOOLS
PLEASE NOTE: THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE CARBON MEDIA BED IN THESE UNITS WILL BE REDUCED AS COMPARED TO
A BACK WASHING STYLE CARBON FILTER. THE ACTUAL MEDIA BED LIFE WILL VARY DEPENDING ON WATER CONSUMPTION,
CHLORINE/CHLORAMINES CONCENTRATION AND FLOW RATE. EXCEEDING THE PEAK FLOW RATE LISTED ON PAGE SIX WILL
DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE CARBON MEDIA.
1. Read all instructions carefully before operation.
2. Avoid pinched o-rings during installaion by applying (provided with install kit) NSF certied lubricant to all seals.
3. This system is not intended for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfecion before or after
the system.

SAFETY GUIDE
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of electric shock, property
damage or personal injury.
s Check and comply with your provincial / state and local codes.You must follow these guidelines.
s Use care when handling the filter tank. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag or set on sharp protrusions.
s WARNING: This system is not intended for treating water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This water filter system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
s DO NOT install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather.
Water freezing in the system will break it. Do not attempt to treat
water over 100°F.
s DO NOT install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun or heat may cause
distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.
s Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and
ordinances.
s Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections,
as required by state and federal codes.
s Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime
pressure is over 80 psi, night time pressure may exceed the
maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve to reduce the flow if
necessary.
s WARNING: Discard all unused parts and packaging material after
installation. Small parts remaining after the installation could be a
choke hazard.

How Your Filter Works
These systems are complete, self-contained, loaded with media and ready to use. A simple inlet and outlet connecion is all that is required for
installation. Please review operating pressures, temperatures and water chemistry limitations to ensure compatibility.

s Additional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing
is required.
s Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To
maintain full valve flow, 3/4”or 1”pipes to and from the filter
fittings are recommended.You should maintain the same, or
larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the filter inlet
and outlet.
s Use copper, brass, or PEX pipe and fittings.
s Some codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe.
s ALWAYS install the included bypass valve, or 3 shut-off valves.
Bypass valves let you turn off water to the filter for repairs if
needed, but still have water in the house pipes.

(Provided)
s Place the filter tank as close as possible to the pressure tank (well
system) or water meter (city water).
s Connect the filter to the main water supply pipe BEFORE the water
heater. DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE FILTER.
Temperature of water passing through the filter must be less than
100 deg. F
s Do not install the filter in a place where it could freeze. Damage
caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
s Put the filter in a place where water damage is least likely to occur
if a leak develops. The manufacturer will not repair or pay for water
damage.
s If installing in an outside location, you must take the steps
necessary to assure the filter, installation plumbing, wiring, etc.,
are as well protected from the elements, contamination,
vandalism, etc., as when installed indoors.
s Keep the filter out of direct sunlight. The sun’s heat may
soften and distort plastic parts.
Where To Install The Filter
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in the tank.
2.If you have a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then shut off the main
water shut off valve. If you have municipal water, simply shut off the main valve. Go
to the faucet, (preferably on the lowest floor of the house) turn on the cold water until
all pressure is relieved and the flow of water stops.
3.Connect the inlet and outlet of the filter using appropriate fittings.
Perform all plumbing according to local plumbing codes.
•ON COPPER PLUMBING SYSTEMS BE SURE TO INSTALL A GROUNDING WIRE
BETWEEN THE INLET AND OUTLET PIPING TO MAINTAIN GROUNDING.
The Inlet and Outlet should be as per below illustration. this will ensure that
water will flow through the filter under upflow configuration
Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to
the valve. Always leave at least 6”(152 mm) between the valve and joints
when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could
cause damage to the valve.
4.Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position. Slowly
turn on the main water supply. At the nearest cold treated water tap nearby
remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or
until the system is free of any air or foreign material resulting from the
plumbing work.

a) Remove the adaptor from the mineral tank.
Grease the bottom oring of the adaptor.
b) Temporarily plug the open end of the riser
tube to ensure that no resin or gravel falls
down into the distribution. The riser
(distributor) remains inside the tank seated in
the depression at the bottom.
Plug tube with a tape. Remove after media
is loaded.
c) Fill support bed first.
The media will not always spill down inside
the tank and may need to be swept inside.
The large funnel (sold separately makes lling
the tank easier and neater. (Or an empty 1
gallon or 4 liter container with the bottom cut
out makes a good funnel.)
5.Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before proceeding. Close the water tap when water runs clean.
6.Proceed to start up instructions. Note: The unit is not ready for service until you complete the start-up instructions.
Note : Carbon filters only:
Once the unit has filled sufficiently that water is at least equal to the height of the media shut down the water for 15 – 20 minutes for the
carbon to soak. After the carbon has soaked for the recommended time continue with installation instructions.
Additional information for Non backwashing carbon filter.
After soaking, remove the aerator screen from the nearest faucet, run water at this faucet until all fines (black) is gone from the water.
Care of Your System
To retain the attractive appearance of your new water lter, clean occasionally with mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or
solvents. Never subject your lter to freezing or to temperatures above 100°F.
Replacing the Media Bed
Carbon NRV Filter - under normal operating conditions the eective life of the lter media is approximately one to three years, depending on the
water quality, after which, taste and odor problems may return.When this happens, contact your dealer for a replacement media bed.
Check to ensure all media parts are received.
The rst step in replacing the media bed is to shut o the water supply to the lter. At this point, you must disconnect the plumbing from the inlet
and outlet.Then unscrew the head from the breglass tank. Once this has been done, remove the distributor tube.Then you can remove the lter
media and two types of gravel from the tank. The quickest way to do this is by simply tipping the tank upside down into a large drum or pail.
Loading the Media Pak
Place the distributor tube back down the center of the tank. NOTE: the top of this tube should be plugged with a rag or cork to prevent media from
entering. Pour the bag of coarse gravel into the tank, and then pour the bag of ne gravel into the tank.
It is important that the distributor tube is not moved or pulled out as it is not possible to put it down to the bottom of the tank once gravel or media
are in the tank.
