Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Reduce Particulate, Chlorine, Taste & Odor
For QT Series Models: QT10-1, QT10-2, QT-1, QT-1+, QT-2, QT-2+, QT-3
●
Installation must conform to all local plumbing codes and regulations.
●
Do NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
●
Connect system to cold water supply only! Water temperature must not exceed 100°F/38°C.
●
Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to the  lter housing or inlet valve. High temperature will
damage these components.
●
Do NOT over-tighten  tting connections into inlet valve or housing outlet. Always back-up valves and
 ttings with a wrench to avoid turning the valve.
●
Allow a minimum of 3” under the housing to allow for sump removal and  lter replacement.
●
Do NOT mount the system near a heat source or above the electrical wiring or any device or area that
would be adversely affected by water.
●
Do NOT mount the system behind equipment. The unit must be easily accessible for  lter replacement.
●
Failure to change cartridges per recommended intervals with OptiPure replacement cartridges may lead to
system failure and property damage.
Introduction
Your new OptiPure QT-Series FoodService Filtration System will cleanse and condition the tap water providing
optimum water characteristics for their speci ed applications. The result is reduced equipment maintenance require-
ments, longer equipment life and improved quality & consistency of your products. The OptiPure System is built with
the  nest, most advanced materials and each system is quality inspected and pressure tested prior to shipment.
Proper system installation and routine  lter changes will ensure years of trouble-free operation and performance.
Please refer to this manual when performing routine  lter changes. The instructions make periodic mainte-
nance quick and easy, and ensure you will receive maximum bene t from your system.

Installation Precautions
• Do
NOT
install system on line pressure above 125 psi.
• Do
NOT
install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do
NOT
use liquid pipe compounds for  tting connections. USE two to three wraps of Te on 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
1.
Turn off all equipment to be fed by the OptiPure System.
2.
Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
3.
Install a minimum 1/2” full- ow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.
4.
Anchor the OptiPure System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs.
5.
Run a suitable line from the full- ow ball valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on the left side of
the OptiPure system. Use 2-3 wraps of Te on tape and brace the inlet ball valve on the system with a wrench
when connecting the feed water line.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE.
6.
Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and connect it to the outlet of the OptiPure
System. NOTE: DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making connection to the
equipment this line will be used to facilitate  ushing the system. As an option, a  ush valve in a tee on the
outlet side of the OptiPure system can be installed in the line to facilitate  ushing when changing  lters.
7.
With OptiPure inlet valve closed, slowly open the full- ow ball valve at the tap water source. Check for leaks.
8.
If a  ush valve was not installed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to equip-
ment in a clean bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water to  ush through
system for 10 minutes at the speci ed system  ow rate to allow air and any carbon  nes to escape.
NOTE:
NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE OPTIPURE SYSTEM TO PERFORM PROPERLY. FLUSHING

Filter Change Frequency
Several situations will mandate  lter changes. Complete  lter sets
should be changed when any of the following apply:
• Six (6) Months have passed since unit installation or previous  lter
change.
• Reduced water  ow.
If  lter change frequency is less than 6 months due to pressure drop,
it may be necessary to add additional pre ltration or evaluate system
sizing recommendations.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure
IMPORTANT: Determine whether all equipment connected to the
OptiPure System must be turned off prior to shutting off water supply
from  lters.
1.
Close inlet ball valve.
2.
Relieve pressure downline by opening  ush valve or brie y actuat-
ing equipment.
3.
Turn cartridge to the left 1/4 turn until it stops.
4.
Pull down on the cartridge until it clears head. Discard old car-
tridge.
5.
Line up the upward-arrow on the new cartridge with the upward
pointing arrow on the head.
6.
Push cartridge up into head until it stops and turn to right until it
stops. (The upward-arrow on the cartridge should align with the
downward-arrow on the head).
7.
Open the inlet ball valve.
8.
Open down-stream  ush valve to  ush new cartridge at the speci-
 ed  ow rate for a minimum of ten (10) minutes.
Operation
Operation
With adequate pressure, normal operation of the OptiPure System is
completely automatic. Dependable operation involves only monitoring of
outlet pressure, periodic  lter changes and service documentation.
Maintenance
The only routine maintenance your OptiPure System should ever require
is periodic  lter cartridge changes or replacement sump O-rings. 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  lter replace-
ment interval on most tap water.

IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTEM AND REMOVE ANY CARBON FINES
PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO EQUIPMENT.
9.
Make certain that the end of the tubing to be connected to the equipment is clean and sanitized.
10.
Connect tubing to equipment. Open all water supply valves and check for leaks.
11.
If no leaks turn on equipment and check for normal operation.
12.
Register your warranty.
Pressure Gauge Monitoring
Pressure Gauge Monitoring
Periodically monitor the pressure gauge on the OptiPure unit. If the
needle on the gauge ever enters the red zone (while the connected
equipment is in operation and water is  owing through the system to the
equipment) it may be an indication that the  lters have become clogged
with sediment. Ideally ther pressure should never drop into the red zone.

Replacement Filter Cartridges
OptiPure Filter Systems are designed, tested,
and certi ed with OptiPure  lter cartridges with
proven performance, size and operating capaci-
ties. Use of replacement cartridges other than
those speci ed will void warranties, certi cations
and may compromise equipment protection,
water quality and cartridge life.
QT10-1, QT10-2, QT-1, QT-1+, QT-2, QT-2+ & QT-3
Tested and Certi ed by NSF International against
NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of:
Standard 42: Aesthetic Effects
Chlorine Reduction
Taste and Odor Reduction
Particulate Reduction Class I
NOTE: Testing was performed under standard labora-
tory conditions, actual performance may vary. It is
recommended that you have your water supply tested
to determine your actual water treatment requirements.

OptiPure warrants the quality of workmanship of their system components and assembly, except for replacement
cartridges and membranes, for a period of 36 months. OptiPure Systems are designed, tested and certi ed with
OptiPure cartridges. Use of replacement cartridges or parts other than those speci ed will void warranties and Certi -
cations, and compromise equipment protection, water quality and cartridge life.

FilterTrak - Filter System Management
Resource
The single biggest problem with  lter systems is
the lack of attention after the system is installed.
Many times the equipment supplied by the
 lter systems has a service problem related to
water because the  lter system has not been
maintained. This is simply because personnel
in the establishment change and it becomes dif-
 cult to keep track of what  lters are needed and
when. FilterTrak eliminates this problem since
it automatically noti es users when a scheduled
 lter change is due and what  lter cartridges are
needed via mail, fax, email or autoship.
