INSTALLATION
1. Assess the location
where the whole house
big blue filter system will
be installed. Look for a
desirable position where
the filter can be fixed se-
curely.
2. The whole house big blue filter system bracket has 2 x holes
to attach it onto the wall. Fix the water filter onto the wall or
frame with strong screws or bolts.
3. It is preferred that the whole house big blue filter system is
mounted on a house wall. If mounted onto a frame, concrete
the frame into the ground securely. Ensure the whole house
big blue filter system is fixed to a strong structure as it will
be heavy when full of water and you need to make it strong
enough to handle very bad weather conditions like cyclones
etc.

4. Set up the whole house big blue filter to match the flow di-
rection. The caps are marked “In” and “Out” on the top of the
housing or from left to right. These systems come pre-assem-
bled. However, if your flow direction is right to left, the brack-
et must be removed from the system and needs to be turned
around 180 degrees then reconnected.
5. The inlet plumbing will be attached to the “In” port on the
filter system. The outlet plumbing from the whole house big
blue filter system will be attached to the distribution system
via the “Out” port. A bypass pipe and shuto valve, Inlet and
Outlet shuto valves and gauges may be installed at this time.
NOTE: Do not use sealants on any of the threads as this will ex-
pand and will cause cracks and will damage the whole house
black caps. Please only use thread tape.

6. After complete installation, do not open the valve on the
mains yet, fully open an outside tap nearest to the whole house
big blue filter system first.
7. Slowly open the valve on the main line and let the whole
house big blue filter system fill with water. Once full, water will
flow out of the opened tap nearest the water filter. Allow the
water to flow for 10 minutes before use. Initially, black carbon
water will flow out from the tap, so you might want to collect
the first black water flowing from the filter into a bucket as it
will be very black carbon water.
8. Once the whole house big blue filter system is filling with
water, push the red air bleeder buttons on top of the filter
housings to release any air trapped inside the whole house
big blue filter system. This will ensure that no air pockets are
trapped inside.
9. Check the housing for
leaks and repair as neces-
sary.

NOTICE:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT OR MUST NOT use any form of sealant on
the threads of this water filter. Please ONLY use plumbers thread tape. If
you use any sealants they have a history of expanding after the water filter
is connected and can crack the inlet & outlet ports and they will start to leak
within a day or so. Please advise the plumber or installer sealants cannot be
used in any form - You can only use Thread Tape.
Maximum/Minimum Pressure
The minimum working pressure required will be determined by the cartridge
type installed inside this water filter. Sediment cartridges do not slow the
water flow generally unless blocked with sediments, but a fine micron car-
bon block cartridge can take a bit of pressure to push the water through
the cartridge. Suburban water pressure works well. The maximum working
pressure is around the 80 psi mark. If you have more pressure than 80 psi
you should install a pressure limiting valve before the water filter to ensure
no excess pressure is exerted into the system.
Installing Gauges
Please take care when installing the gauges, please apply plumbers thread
tape only to the gauge thread. Tighten taking extra care the threads have
not been crossed. Tighten gauges until tight. If any gauges threads seem
to be a tight fit simply turn the gauge forward as far as possible without to
much force, then turn the gauge back the other way to untighten, then turn
the gauge forward again until you have the gauge installed as required. DO
NOT use any form of sealants on the gauge threads.
Water Flow Direction
Please note: These water filters are set up to flow the water from left to
right. If you want the water filter to flow the other way you will be required
to remove the bracket and turn it around 180 degrees and refit the bracket
so once installed the complete water filter housing is set up correctly.

How to Change Cartridges:
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO
1. Shut o the water supply.

4. Once loosened with the tool, the housing can be removed
by hand. Spin the housing counterclockwise. Spin until the
housing is completely removed.
NOTE: If the pressure is not
released, the filter housing
will be very dicult to loos-
en. It is imperative that the
water pressure is released
prior to attempting to re-
move the filter housing.
2. Open a tap closest to the
whole house big blue filter
and allow all the pressure to
empty via the tap.
3. Use the supplied housing
opening tool to remove the
housing by turning it anti-
clockwise.

5. Remove the old filter
and discard. Make sure to
note the orientation of the
cartridges.
6. Install the new whole house big blue cartridges into the fil-
ter housings.
NOTE: You can do some preventive maintenance while doing
the cartridge replacement. Lubricate the o-ring and housing
threads with food grade silicone grease.

7. Ensure the cartridges
center hole are seated in
the stump in the base of
each housing. Ensure the
cartridge is centered & ver-
tical as you lift the hous-
ing up into the head cap
thread to replace. Hold 1
hand under the housing
as you screw back on the
whole house big blue filter housing by turning it clockwise. Do
this until it is hand tight. If lubricated correctly this will screw
on very easily without the tool.
8. Insert the housing tool
onto the filter housing.
Tighten the filter housing
until firm. Do not tighten
until overtightened. Do not
force.
9. Do not open the valve on the mains yet, fully open the tap
nearest to the whole house water filter.

10. Open the valve on the mainline slowly and let the wa-
ter flow. Once the housings fill with water press the red air
bleeder buttons on top of the filter housings to release the
air inside the whole house big blue filter system. This will
ensure that no air pockets are trapped inside.
11. Let the water flow out of the opened tap nearest to the
water filter for 10 minutes until the BLACK Carbon water
has been flushed out and the water is clear again. You might
want to collect the first flow of water into a bucket, as it may
be very black water from the carbon fines from the new car-
bon cartridges.
12. Turn o flushing tap. Turn on taps inside the home to
release any air and you are done. Inspect the work area if
there are no leaks etc and all is as it should be. Clean up.
