of
a
typical
installation
showing
the
SimPure®
DB
Whole
House
Filter
Housing connected
to
your
home's
incoming
main
water
supply.
Suppose
you
do
not
already
have
an
isolation valve
near
the
proposed
DB
Whole
House
Filter
location.
In
that
case,
it
is
recommended
to
install
a
valve
before
the
filter
to
allow
easy
and
quick
filter
changes.
Ensure
the
filter
housing
is
protected
from
the
sun
and
freezing
conditions,
which
can
cause
cracking
of
the
housing
and
water
leaks.

Typical
Installation
The
following
illustration
is
an
example
of
a
typical
installation
showing
the
SimPure®
DB
Whole
House
Filter
Housing connected
to
your
home's
incoming
main
water
supply.
Suppose
you
do
not
already
have
an
isolation valve
near
the
proposed
DB
Whole
House
Filter
location.
In
that
case,
it
is
recommended
to
install
a
valve
before
the
filter
to
allow
easy
and
quick
filter
changes.
Ensure
the
filter
housing
is
protected
from
the
sun
and
freezing
conditions,
which
can
cause
cracking
of
the
housing
and
water
leaks.

(if
applicable).
Determine
and
check
the

size
and
position
for

into
the
chosen
space and
remember
to
leave
enough
space
around
the

close
to
the
ground,
don't
forget
to
leave
at
least
2-inches
of
clearance
between
the
filter
bowl
and
the
floor
to
allow
access
to
drop
the

using
a
fixing
method
suitable
to
your
installation
requirements.
It's
essential
the
housing
is
secured
by
the
bracket
and
not
just
the
pipework
to
support
the

operating
weight
when
full

and
to
hold
the
filter
head
tightly
when
using
the
filter
bowl
wrench
when
replacing
filters.
Once
the
installation
is
complete,
slowly
turn
on
water
supply
to
the
filter
housing
and
depress
the red
pressure-relief
button
on
the
filter
head
to
release
trapped
air
until
water
starts
to
come
out.
Check
for
leaks.
Open
the
nearest

and
flush
filter for
10-minutes,
wait
one
hour,
re-check
