Important Information
Read these instructions carefully and determine the location of all system components before
beginning installation.
Check all applicable plumbing, building, and electrical codes for installation compliance.
Install the filtration system on the main water supply.
! IMPORTANT !
Y
our system will not be ready for use for a minimum of 48 hours while the Carbon Soak process takes
place. Please plan your installation accordingly.
Electrical Notice:
If this or any other system is installed in a metal (conductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized
metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a
result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic
activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Older homes
may have been built in accordance with building codes from decades ago, some of which actually
encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbin
g
system. Consequently, we hi
g
hly
recommend either the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing,
or a grounded “jumper wire” bridging the equipment and re-establishing the contiguous conductive
nature of the plumbing system.
Private Well:
When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should
be installed following the pressure tank.
