Pentair EVERPURE QC7I Series User manual

FILTRATION & PROCESSING SOLUTIONS QC7I SERIES FILTERS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
1. Give consideration to the weight of the unit when operating (filled with water). Operating weights of the QC7I systems are:
• Single - 9 lbs (4 kg)
• Twin - 19 lbs (8.5 kg)
• Triple - 27 lbs (12 kg)
• Quad - 36 lbs (20 kg)
2. The location should allow for:
• Minimum clearance of 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) under the
cartridge(s) so it can be lowered for removal
and replacement.
• Adequate space for “in” and “out” water line connections.
• Be near a drain for flushing and near a 110V outlet if the
accessory (sold separately) Everguard™ Low Pressure Alarm (LPA) is used.
3. If used in conjunction with the Everpure SR-X Feeder, the SR-X should be mounted after the QC7I Series Filter and as
near the equipment as possible. If possible, keep at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) available to the left and the right of the QC7I
System in the event poor quality water conditions require the installation of the optional Everpure E-Series Prefilter.
WARNING: Do not use the MH cartridge in conjunction with the SR-X.

*For individual cartridge specifications, refer to cartridge literature.
Temperature: 35 - 100°F (2 - 38°C)
Pressure: 10 - 125 psi (0.7 - 8.6 bar), non-shock
For cold water use only.
INSTALLATION
1. Use the predrilled mounting holes in the manifold bracket
as guides. Mark and drill anchor holes. Mount securely.
2. Shut off power to machine.
3. Connect outlet port of QC7I unit to equipment served.
Always use a NSF approved pipe dope or plumber tape
at all connections. Use a backup wrench on all fittings
while connecting to avoid excessive stress on the
system components.
NOTE: If the optional Everpure®E-Series Filter is used,
install a manual shut-off valve leading to the system
for servicing.
4. Connect minimum 3/8-inch water line to inlet side of QC7I
single. Use minimum 1/2-inch line for other systems.
5. The cross fitting has a flushing valve installed on the bottom.
Connect tubing to the flushing valve and run to drain.
NOTE: Some municipal plumbing codes
and good sanitary practices
require an air gap at the drain
termination point.
Air Gap
6. Install the cartridge(s) into the QC7I head(s) following
directions on the cartridge label or as shown in the
Cartridge Change illustrations.
7. Turn on water to filter and check for leaks.
8. Flush the cartridge by running water through at full force
for five (5) minutes. This will set the filtering media and
purge air and fines, insuring maximum filter life.
9. After flushing, close the flushing valve and turn on power
to equipment and plug the LPA (if so equipped) into the
electrical outlet.

3QC7I SERIES FILTERS INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
CARTRIDGE CHANGE DETERMINATION
Replace cartridges when capacity is reached, or when flow
becomes inadequate, but at least annually. All cartridges
on multiple cartridge systems should be changed at the
same time. The Everpure®Pressure Gauge or Everguard™
Low Pressure Alarm (LPA) provides a quick and simple
means of determining when the filter cartridge(s) should be
changed. Installed on the outlet port of the filter, the gauge
or Everguard LPA can be used to measure both dynamic
(flowing) and static (line) pressure. The cartridge(s) should be
changed when the pressure gauge needle is in the red area
while equipment is in operation, and yet the needle shows
adequate line pressure between cycles. Observe the needle
during the next equipment on cycle. If the needle registers
adequate pressure, it can be assumed that the temporary
low-pressure condition was caused by a brief power failure or
other incoming pressure disruption.
FLUSHING
For maximum life, all carbon filter cartridges must be
flushed for five (5) minutes at full flow before use.
ALL NEW CARTRIDGES MUST BE FLUSHED AFTER EACH
CARTRIDGE CHANGE BEFORE BEING PUT INTO SERVICE!
If the cartridges are new, have been properly flushed and
both needle and follower register inadequate pressure, or the
LPA is sounding, you may be experiencing inadequate water
pressure or some restriction may exist in the inlet water
line. In either case, the incoming water pressure must be
improved to receive optimum filter life.
COMPLETE CARTRIDGE CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE
FOUND ON THE FILTER CARTRIDGE LABEL.
NOTES
Check for compliance with state and local laws and
regulations. Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
The term ‘bacteriostatic’ indicates that the system limits the
passage or growth of bacteria that may already exist in the
incoming water. It does not mean that the water leaving the
system is safer to drink than the water entering the system.
For installations in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered
to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of the
system. This system and its installation must comply with
state and local regulations.
Not for residential use. For food service applications only.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Contact your local Pentair®Everpure®dealer for filter
cartridges or system replacement parts.
