Installing this system in a metal (conductive) plumbing system, i.e., copper or galvanized metal, will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing
system and grounding source in some homes. If your home’s electrical appliances are grounded through the plumbing system, you will need
to install a bypass that consists of the same material as the existing plumbing or a grounded “jumper wire” to bridge the equipment and re-
establish the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing before using this Pentair system. Failure to do so can result in errant electricity from
improperly grounded appliances or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system, which could increase the risk of re or injury while using
your home appliances. Please consult a licensed electrician before attempting to install.
WARNING
When adding a ltration/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 hydropneumatic applications. If you are using a booster pump, then install this system following the
booster pump. If you have questions, please call customer service.
CAUTION
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.
• The use of plumber's tape and/or pipe thread seal paste will be needed on all threaded connections.
• To condition all water in the home, install the Carbon Water Filter System close to the water supply inlet, and upstream of all
 otherplumbingconnnections,exceptoutsidewaterpipes.Outsidefaucetsshouldremainonunlteredwater.

Sediment lter position is at the discretion of your professional installer. As a general guideline, the sediment prelter is
typically installed in the "pre" position (as shown above) for well water applications. For city water applications, the sediment
lter is typically installed in the "post" position after the Carbon Water Filter System.

PRE-INSTALLATION
Head may come loose in transit. Please check head by tightening clock wise, hand tighten only, no more than 1/4turn.
Head may not move at all or less than 1/4 turn.
Bypass Valve Installation
The bypass valve(s) included with this system are designed for multiple water systems. This may result in the arrows on the bypass
valve(s) pointing differently than shown. If the arrows on your bypass valve(s) do not match the diagram, remove the red arrows by
pulling them straight up, turn them 180˚ to match the drawing, and push them back down onto the stem.

3. After 15 minutes, turn water off for 1 minute. Then turn water on for fully for 1 minute, and then turn off and wait 1 minute. Continue
this process until water comes out of the outlet clear. When complete, remove hose bib attachment.
4. Should you lose water pressure while completing step 3, turn water off, and allow the tank to settle with no water usage. Repeat

Should you need to perform the above steps after the tanks are connected to the home plumbing, it is recommended to use an
outside garden hose spigot or faucet with an aerator to perform the rinsing procedure.
Note
The rst few gallons of water could look black and cloudy due to the carbon nes, this is a normal occurrence.
Note
WARNING
For 72 hours after installation, try not to use a high demand of water (multiple xtures at one time). This can cause the media to
oat and could restrict water pressure. Should this happen, stop using the water and allow the tank to sit undisturbed (no water
ow) for 15 minutes. Then resume a lower water usage.

1. Turn on main water supply and check for leaks.
2. Peel off the protective plastic wrap from the stainless steel tank jacket(s)
3. Add the Pentair logo sticker(s) in the desired location on the tank.
4. Wax stainless steel tank jacket(s) with wax provided (or any other non-abrasive auto wax) a minimum of 1-2 times per year or as
needed based on the installed environment.
Avoid high ow rates such as bathtub, utility sinks, hose bibs, multi-headed showers, body sprayers, or anything that is considered
high ow for the rst 72 hours to avoid ow restrictions caused by carbon blockage of the top basket inside the carbon tank.
CAUTION
Carbon dust may be released into the water lines of the house/building during the rst few days of water use after carbon tank
installation. The carbon dust is harmless, but may give the water a gray appearance that should diminish within a week or 10 days
depending on water use.

Sediment Filter
Itisrecommendedthatthesedimentlterbereplacedevery6-12monthsdependingontheamountofsedimentpresentinthe
watersupply.Ifthesystemhasbeenworkingproperlyandthepressureisslowing,itmaybetimetochangethesedimentlter.
Checkthesedimentlterandreplaceifnecessary.
Replacing the Sediment Filter
1.Turnoffthemainwatersupplytothesedimentltersystemandbypassalltanks.
2. Run a faucet (cold water) inside the house to relieve the pressure. Leave the faucet open.
3.Unscrewthebluelterhousingclockwiseusingthesuppliedlterwrench.
4.Removetheexistingsedimentlteranddiscard.
5. Remove the o-rings and wipe the upper groove clean. Lubricate two new o-rings with a coating of clean silicone grease.
 Replacebotho-rings.Besuretopresstheuppero-ringsdownintothegroovewithtwongers.
This step is important to ensure the proper lter seal. Make sure the upper o-rings is seated level in the groove. If the
o-ring appears damaged, stretched, or crimped it should be replaced.
6.Placeanewsedimentlterontothestandpipeinthebluelterhousing.
7.Screwthebluelterhousingontotheltercoverhandtight.Lightlysnugthehousingwiththespannerwrenchmakingsure
not to over-tighten.
8.Turnonthemainwatersupplyslowlytoallowthesedimentltersystemtollwithwaterandexpelairfromlines.Puttanks

TROUBLESHOOTING
Water leaking at the top of the tank around the head.
The tank leans to one side or is not level.
You may need to turn the head to tighten it. The tank
head is pre-installed hand-tight, do not overtighten the
head (just turn it snug).
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.
Water pressure is slowing. Itisrecommendedthatthesedimentlterbereplaced
every 6-9 months depending on the amount of
sediment present in the water supply. If the system
hasbeen working properly and the pressure is slowing,
itmaybetimetochangethesedimentlter.Checkthe
sedimentlterandreplaceifnecessary.
Water appears grey or cloudy. Watermayappeargreyorcloudyfortherstsevento
ten days after installation due to extra carbon dust.
Water pressure is slowing immediately after
installation.
The check valve on the lower end of the pump is stuck
in the open position. Turn water off, relieve pressure,
remove the suction hose nut as well as the retaining
nut underneath. Remove the check valve by pulling
down. Rotate the white retainer cap to expose the
check valve. Clean o-ring, inner housing and Replace.
