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.
