Installation Procedure :
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the OptiPure
System.
2. Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
3. We recommend that you install a full-flow ball valve
of the same size or larger than the connection
fittings on the OptiPure System. Installing a ball
valve on the line supplying the OptiPure System
allows the system to be serviced without shutting
off the main water supply. (It will not be necessary
to use this valve when replacing filters.)
4. ount the OptiPure System on a wall stud or
suitable mounting material spanning wall studs.
NOTE: QT-4 Systems full of water can weigh up
to 35 lbs. Use suitable fasteners when mounting
to wall.
5. Run a 1/2” Piping/ Tube or 3/4” Piping / Tubing or
larger feed line from the full-flow ball valve to the
top INLET Connection on the left side of the
OptiPure system. For NPT connection: Use 2-3
wraps of PTFE Thread sealant tape and hold the
inlet male fitting on the system with a wrench when
connecting the feed water line.
NOTE: Ensure all piping / tubing being attached
to OptiPure System is properly supported, to
ensure proper alignment and that piping /
tubing can allow movement associated with the
expansion and contraction of the piping system.
Use hangers and anchors of proper strength to
maintain the proportional share weight of the
piping / tubing and contents. Improper piping /
tubing support can cause undesired stress and
fatigue on plastic fittings of OptiPure System
causing system failure.
NOTE: Do not overtighten connection fittings.
Mounting
Dimensions
Installation Precautions:
• Do NOT install system on line pressure above 100 psi.
• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of
PTFE thread sealant tape.
• Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if
temperature falls below 33°F.
• Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or
may be subjected to being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item
that may cause damage.
• IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before OptiPure unit.

Installation Procedure (continued):
6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the OUTLET
of the OptiPure System.
Unless Flush Valve Assembly or Flushing Line is installed prior to making connection to the
equipment, DO NOT connect the tubing from OUTLET of OptiPure System to the equipment
at this time, this tubing from the OUTLET can be used to flush the system.
7. With OptiPure ulti-Function Valve set in the off position (See Figure 2 on page 10), slowly
open the full-flow ball valve at the water source.
Check for leaks from plumbing leading into the OptiPure System.
8. Flushing of system before use.
NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE OPTIPURE SYSTE TO PERFOR PROPERLY.
FLUSHING IS RECO ENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTE AND RE OVE ANY
CARBON FINES PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO EQUIP ENT.
Three possible flush port connections:
(NOTE: a. and b. allow for convenient flushing after filter replacement.)
a. A Flush Valve Assembly included in the parts pack can be attached to the ulti-Function
Valve port opening. See page 15 for more information. When using this option, connect
the system outlet tubing to the equipment before flushing.
b. A tee (not supplied) can be added on the outlet line from the system. Install a manual
shut-off valve (not supplied) on the branch of the tee. When using this option, connect
outlet tubing from the tee to the equipment before flushing.
c. If no flush valve is installed, use the outlet tubing that is not yet connected to the
equipment for flushing.
Flushing steps:
1. Hold tubing from the chosen flush connection in a bucket or over a sink or drain.
2. Slowly turn the ulti-Function Valve top handle into the Operating Position.
(See Figure 1 on page 10.) Turn Flush Valve Options a. / b. to open positions.
3. Allow water to flush through the OptiPure System for 5 to 10 minutes or until the water
runs clear.
4. Turn ulti-Function Valve to the Off Position. (See Figure 2 on page 10.)
5. If flush connection a. or b. is used, be sure to turn the shut-off valve to the Off position.
If flush connection c. was chosen, connect the outlet tubing to the equipment at this
time. Ensure that the tubing is clean before connecting to the equipment.
9. With tubing connected to equipment. Turn ulti-Function Valve to the Operating Postion
(See Figure 1 on page 10) and check for leaks.
10. If no plumbing leaks, turn on equipment and check for normal operation of equipment.
11. Register your System with FilterTrak.

10
Multi-Function alve
The OptiPure anifold System includes a ulti-Function Valve that allows the System to have the
water turned off, or be put into bypass. The white handles on the valve provide a clear indication of
the water flow path in each position. The three points on the tee shape of the handle indicate a path
the flow can take.
Operating Position
This is the position of the handles during
normal operation. Looking at the handle
pointers, you can see that feed water flows
from the INLET port into the filter system and
treated water flows out of the system to the
OUTLET port. The bypass path from inlet to
outlet is blocked.
Off Position
In this position, the inlet water is stopped
before entering the OptiPure System.
Bypass Position
In this position, the INLET water is diverted to
the OUTLET port and all flow to and from the fil-
ters is blocked.
Equipment does not have treated water at this
time, so this should only be used when
issues with filtration are occurring.
Alternate Bypass Position is used when
Outlet connection is switched to right side of
manifold. Note: Non treated water is flowing
thru manifold at this time. See page 11 for
Alternate Outlet Location.

Filter Change Frequency:
Several situations will mandate filter changes.
Complete filter sets should be changed when any of
the following apply:
• Six (6) onths have passed since unit
installation or previous filter change.
• Reduced water flow.
If filter change frequency is less than 6 months due to
pressure drop, it may be necessary to add
additional prefiltration or evaluate system sizing
recommendations.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure:
I PORTANT: Determine whether all equipment
connected to the OptiPure System must be turned off
prior to shutting off water supply from filters.
1. On ulti-Function Valve Turn Upper handle to the
OFF Position. (See figure 2 on page 10)
2. Relieve pressure downline by opening flush valve
or briefly actuating equipment.
3. Turn cartridge to the left 1/4 turn until the
cartridge stops.
4. Pull down on the cartridge until the cartridge clears
the system connection. Discard old cartridge.
NOTE: Some water will drip from Optipure
System during cartridge removal.
5. Line up the upward-arrow on the new cartridge
with the arrow on the side of the cartridge
connection on the Optipure System. NOTE: Some
cartridges do not have arrows. Reference the Key
Feature in figure when connecting to system.
6. Push cartridge up into head until the base of the
cartridge is next to the base of the filter system.
Turn the cartridge to the right about a 1/4 turn or
until the cartridge stops.
REPEAT Steps 3 thru 6 on additional filters.
7. On ulti-Function Valve Turn Upper Handle to the
Operation Position. (See figure 1 on page 10)
8. Open down-stream flush valve to flush new
cartridge for a recommended 5 to 10 minutes or
until water runs clear.

Pressure Gauge Monitoring:
Periodically monitor the pressure gauge on the OptiPure System. If the needle on the gauge ever
enters the red zone (while the connected equipment is in operation and water is flowing through the
system to the equipment) it may be an indication that the filters have become clogged.
Maintenance:
The only routine maintenance your OptiPure System should ever require is periodic filter cartridge
changes. Filter changes are necessary for optimum performance of your foodservice equipment. If
the system sizing recommendations have been followed the OptiPure System is designed to provide
a six (6) month filter replacement interval on most tap water.
