Notice:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT OR YOU 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 ahistory
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 carbon 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 tothe gauge thread.(Ifrubber o-rings
aresupplied with your system that is all you will require to seal the
gauges & no thread tape will be needed). 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 too much force, then
turn the gauge back the other way to untighten, then turn the
gauge forward again, repeat 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.
