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equipment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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.
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.

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evalu-
atesystemsizingrecommendations.
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
actuating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
cartridge.
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.

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thepressure
shouldneverdropintotheredzone.
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recommen-
dationshavebeenfollowedtheOptiPureSystemisdesignedto
provideasix(6)monthlterreplacementintervalonmosttap
water.
