Product Operation and Specifications
Specification Description WF5 WF9
Max Flow Rate 10 GPM 15 GPM
Minimum Working Pressure 25 PSI
Maximum Working Pressure 80 PSI
Maximum Vacuum 5 inch/127 mm Hg
Operating Temperatures 36°F – 100°F

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 system on the main water supply.
 Systems that contain electronic components cannot be installed outside in uncovered areas.
Water Conditions for Operation
 The water should be free of hydrogen sulfide, a dissolved gas with a characteristic smell of rotten
eggs. If present, it can coat the catalytic surface of the media and interfere with the process. The gas
should be removed through adequate pre-treatment.
 The water should be free of hydrocarbons, oils, and lubricants. If present, they can coat the catalytic
surface of the media and interfere with the process. Remove through adequatepre-treatment.
WARNING:
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. Some homes may have been built in accordance with
building codes, which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the
plumbing system. Consequently, 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 must be installed prior
to your systems use.
CAUTION:
When adding a filtration/softening system to homes/buildings supplied by well water, the system should be
installed following the pressure tank. DO NOT USE this system for pneumatic or hydro pneumatic
applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the booster
pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.

Bypass Operation
Notice:
The Bypass Valve on the Electronic Head can be set to Bypass or Service by turning the knobs on the
top of the valve. The valves can be difficult to turn by hand until the seals become saturated. Use the
supplied Bypass Allen Wrench to turn the knobs if necessary.
Note: The Red Arrows on the Whole House Carbon Filter Bypass may be pointing in a different direction
then shown. If this is the case, remove the Red Arrows by pulling them straight up. Turn them around
and reposition correctly onto the Bypass Valve so they are positioned as shown in the service position
below.
The Bypass Valve on the Whole House Water Filter can be set to Bypass or Service by turning the Red
Arrows on the top of the valve.

Chemical Injector Pump with Flow Meter Installation
!IMPORTANT!
Install the Flow Meter and Chemical Injector Pump into the water supply after the Sediment Filter and
before any other filtration, retention tank or softening system.
1. Remove inlet and outlet npt connectors from water meter and wrap threads with 2-3 wraps of
Teflon tape.
2. Mount the threaded connectors to main water supply line after the sediment filter and hand tight.
Wrench tighten no more than an additional ¼ turn. Connect npt connectors to the water meter
body (ensure water flow follows arrow on side of meter). Hand tighten only.
3. Insert the injection stem into a “T” (not included) fitting in the water line after the flow meter. Hand
tighten, and then wrench tighten no more than ¼ turn. Note: Make sure to use Teflon tape on the
threads.
4. Slide mounting bracket off and position for type of installation. (on wall or on solutiontank)
5. Position pump assembly where it will be installed. (On top of solution tank if mounting on solution
tank). Mark locations for the two mounting screws and solution tube location.
6. Drill holes for the mounting screws, and a 3/8” hole for the solution tube (if mounting on solutiontank).
7. Attach the foot filter assembly to the clear tubing and lower into the solution tank. Take the opposite
end, and with hand inside tank, push through the hole drilled prior.
8. Pull tube up until foot filter is suspended about 4” off the bottom of the tank. Cut tubing squarely
leaving about 6” exposed.
9. Remove the suction valve nut and insert the tubing through the nut. Push the tubing onto the barb until
fully seated.
10. Tighten the suction valve nut hand tight only.
11. Using the screws mount the pump to the solution tank.
12. Remove the purge valve nut located at the top of the pump. Insert one end of the oplaque (rigid)
tubing and push through the nut.
13. Install the hose on the purge barb and push until fully seated.
14. Tighten the purge valve nut hand tight only.
15. Drill another 3/8” hole to the right of the pump. Cut enough of the purge tube to make a gentle arc into
the hole.
16. Attach the discharge hose to the injector. Tighten the injector nut hand tight only. (Leave Discharge
tube disconnected from pump until step 20)
17. Attach the water meter wires to the pre-wired plug. Wrap the wires with electrical tape or wire nuts
(not provided) Note: Does not matter which wire is attached to each other
18. Fill solution tank with a mixture of 1 gallon of bleach to 4 gallons of bottlewater.
19. Push the syringe tube onto the discharge barb of the pump. Pull suction with syringe until fluid from
solution tank reaches the pump head. Remove syringe tube.
20. Remove the discharge nut and put the end of the discharge tube through the nut. Push the tube onto
the discharge barb until fully seated.
21. Tighten the discharge nut hand tight only
!IMPORTANT! Ensure the Chemical Injector Pump Tubing is free of kinks and the Solution Tank is not
sitting directly on concrete. The cold temperatures held by concrete floors can separate your solution.

Retention Tank Installation (Optional)
1. Thread 1 1/4" female fitting on to inlet and shut off valve stem pipes. Use 3-4 wraps of thread tape with
tread sealant. If you wish to use a PVC/CPVC slip (glued) fitting, cut threads off of pipe and use a coupler to
adapt to a slip (glued fitting)
2. Using reducer bushings adapt fitting to size of line used. Glue these parts in place.
3. Thread 1 1/4" male fitting into outlet of tank. Use 3-4 wraps of thread tape with threadsealant.
4. Using reducer bushings adapt fitting to size of the line used. Glue these parts inplace.
5. Install the shut off valve on the shut off valve stem pipe.

1. Level the Whole House Iron & Manganese Filter.
Notice:
If the tank is not level, lift the tank straight up 6 inches and tap it on the ground until the tank stands
vertical. The bottom of the tank is round and the boot allows the tank to stand upright.
2. Determine the size and material of your incoming water supply line from the In-Line Injection Port
and choose the appropriate fittings required to connect it to the Bypass Valve.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten any of the fittings during installation.

3. Remove the white cap from the top of the Whole House Iron & Manganese tank.
4. Using regular unscented household bleach pour ½ gallon of bleach into the Iron andManganese
tank. Add enough water to cover the media. Note: Soak for a minimum of 3 hours, the more the
better.
5. Screw the Electronic Head onto the tank hand-tight.
6. Install the fittings onto the inlet and outlet, following the arrows on the Bypass Valve andhead.
7. Connect the incoming water supply to the fitting on the inlet side of the Bypass Valve.
8. Connect the outgoing water supply to the outlet side of the Bypass Valve. Leave tank in bypassmode.
9. Firmly press one end of the discharge Tubing Drain Line onto the barbed nose and secure the
other end of the line to a drain.
IMPORTANT!
• Ensure the PVC Tubing Backwash Drain
Line is not submerged and is free ofkinks.
• Maximum vertical rise of the backwash line
is 6 feet.
• If incorporating two or more backwashing
systems make sure to keep the drain lines
separate.
