SpringWell whole house water filters use the highest
quality of coconut catalytic carbon that target the
contaminants that we find in our water supplies today.
Our systems are manufactured in an up-flow design
giving the influent water optimal contact time so we can
reduce as many contaminants as possible. Our catalytic
carbons have an extremely fast reaction time which
means more contaminant removal, even in a high flow
installation.

If the tank is not perfectly straight, carefully lift the tank straight up a few inches and
tap it on the ground until the tank stands vertical and fits snuggly into the tank boot.

To do so set the tank on a level surface in an area where it can
get wet around the tank.
Locate the bypass valve with the red arrows and the 1” PVC
elbows. Install bypass valve to head of tank hand tight. Be sure
the bypass valve is in the “on” position.
Now install PVC elbow to inlet side.
Locate the hose bib assembly and connect it to the Inlet side.
Connect a water hose to the opposite end of the hose bib
assembly.
Turn the water on slowly to about halfway on and wait until the
water comes out of the outlet side. Disconnect the hose and put
the bypass valve in bypass mode, then set tank aside in a safe
place for 2 days.

Soaking Instructions
IMPORTANT!
The carbon media inside the filter system MUST soak in water
for a MINIMUM of 2 days before installation.

"
5
1. After the carbon has soaked for 2 days take the bypass valve out of
bypass into the service mode.!
2. Locate the hose bib assembly and connect it to the Inlet side. Connect
a water hose to the opposite end of the hose bib assembly.!
3. Turn the water on slowly and only halfway on and allow the water to run
for 15-20 minutes.!
4. Turn water off and disconnect the water hose.
5. Connect the water hose to outlet side and turn the water on slowly to
full strength.
6. Allow water to run for 5 minutes.
7. Disconnect the hose and connect to the inlet side.
8. Turn water on slowly halfway, run for 10 minutes.
9. Disconnect the hose bib assembly.
Note: At this point all of the carbon dust should
be completely out of the carbon bed. However,
there can be some residual dust which you will
sometimes see in toilets and toilet tanks. This is
completely normal and should clear within a
day or two.

1. This is the point where you will need to shut the main
water supply off and adapt your plumbing in and through
the system.
2. We recommend you plumb a shut off valve before the pre-filter
housing.!
3. Locate the area where the system is going to be installed.
Locate aluminum pre-filter mounting bracket with hex bolts and
washers.!
4. Mount the pre-filter bracket to the wall (hex bolts into wall with
washers).
Pre-Filter Setup / Installation

Now connect the pre-filter housing head to the mounting
bracket with the hex bolts provided.
Plumb the water from the main water supply into the Inlet
side of the pre-filter head (follow the arrows for water flow).
Install lubed o-ring in groove on top of the blue pre-filter
housing.
Unwrap pre-filter and install it onto small pipe stand inside
the housing.
Screw the housing to the head as tight as you can without
the pre-filter housing wrench. Now take the wrench and
tighten down hand tight.

Plumb the main water supply coming out of the pre-filter housing into the Inlet
side. Now finish the plumbing by connecting the Outlet side back to the main
plumbing supply. Place the bypass valve in bypass.

Once the plumbing is complete its time to start the system up. Double check all
connections. The valve nuts should only be hand tight. Slowly turn the main
water supply back on. Check for leaks. If there are no leaks slowly turn the
bypass valve to the on position. Go to a faucet inside and slowly turn the cold
water on about halfway and let it run for about 5 minutes. Turn off the faucet and
you have now completed the install.
Now you can enjoy your new Whole House Water Filter!
