CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW WATERBOY!
1. After the WATERBOY system is installed, the water will taste and
smell fresh and clean throughout all the taps in your home. Since the
WATERBOY conditions the water without salt or potassium, you will
notice a squeaky clean rinse after a shower as opposed to a slimy,
slippery, salt based feel. You will have increased lather from soaps and
shampoos and a decreased need in quantity of soap and detergent for
laundry and dishes. You will also have the reversing of scale and
corrosion in your pipes, appliances and xtures, as well as decreasing it
from happening in the future.
2. The system has been preset at the factory to automatically backwash
itself once a week usually around 12:00AM. This process takes about 15
minutes and will sound like rushing water. There is a backwash cycle and
and forward rinse cycle within that time. It will disperse about a bathtub
full of water during the ush cyle. This water can be sent to lawn, garden
or drains.
3. There is a lifetime warranty (original owner) on the tank and control
valve. It needs no regular service unless you see a change in your water
or notice the system not ushing. The warranty covers parts up to 80 psi,
however there is charge for labor. If your pressure on the house is over
80 psi the warranty is voided and there will be a charge for necessary
replacement parts.
No Maintenance Required
No maintenance is required because the system automatically back
ushes. In most cases a lter change is not required for
approximately 10-15 years. You don’t have to do anything except enjoy
the benets of fresh, ltered, conditioned water always tasting terric.

HOW
IT
WORKS
The WATERBOY™
When your household water
is treated with the
WATERBOY™ Whole
House System, it goes
through: 3 stages of ltration
& 1 stage of conditioning.
Stage I
A granular blend of activated
carbon and catalytic media
specically formulated for
taste and odor improvement,
while eliminating the
harmful effects of chlorine,
chloramines and disinfectants.
Stage II
An internal sediment lter of ne silica quartz ltration media which re-
moves dirt and sediment in the water.
Stage III
Patented K.D.F. 55™ redox media consisting of high-purity copper-zinc
granules, which improves performance of the carbon to last longer.
Stage IV
The Multi-eld water conditioning unit is a critical component in every
WATERBOY System. Click here for more information. The multi-revers-
ing polarity module stands head and shoulders over any presently used
conditioning system in the world today. The Multi-eld unit conditions the
water non-chemically by restructuring and realigning the polarity of the
mineral molecules, without removing the minerals from the water.

General Residential Customer Information
LOCATION: The WATERBOY™ usually gets installed at the main line
after the pressure regulator. Sometimes there is an existing loop in the
garage where a Water Softener has been, that is also where we would
install the system.
If the main shut off is on the front yard or side yard we have a few
options to install the system there. We can run the copper around to the
side of the yard and then back to the main or we can bury the unit ½ way
down in the ground. The plumber will assess the most convenient
location and together you can decide which is best.
PRESSURE REGULATOR: The WATERBOY™ needs to run within
40-80 psi to stay within the warranty requirements. When the plumber
installs the unit, he will check the current pressure of the house and then
adjust accordingly. If there is an old PRV or it is not working, the plumber
will recommend installing a new one. CAUTION: Water pressure is not
to exceed 80 PSI or it voids the warranty. Water temperature is not to ex-
ceed 90F. The unit can not be subjected to freezing conditions, otherwise
needs to be blanketed and insulated from weather.
WATER PRESSURE: A minimum of 40 pounds of pressure is required
for backwash valve to operate effectively .
ELECTRICAL FACILITIES: An uninterrupted alternating current (A/C),
110 outlet supply is required. Note: Other voltages are available. Please
make sure your voltage supply is compatible with your unit before
installation.
BACKFLUSH LINE: A ½” PVC backush line will be installed at the top
of the system to allow ushing of the media beds once a week. This
happens at a preset time and will take approximately 15 minutes for the
entire process to be completed.
1. Wait for 24 hours to drink the water after install. Let all the taps run
and ll up the tank.
2. Backush is 2:00 AM default time, and fully customizable to
customer’s needs. It ushes once a week for @ 16 minutes.
3. Limited Lifetime warranty. No maintenance for 10-15 years depending
on the size of the system.
BYPASS VALVES: Always provide for the installation of a by-pass valve
if unit is not equipped with one.

GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS
The control valve, ttings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate
minor plumbing misalignment but are not designed to support the weight
of a system or the plumbing.
Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone
anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not
necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or
clear lip seats.
Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Teon tape must
be used on the threads of the 1” NPT elbow or the ¼ NPT connection
and on the threads for the drain line connection. Teon tape is not
necessary on the nut connections or caps because o-ring seals are used.
The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand
or with special plastic Service Wrench, #V3193. If necessary pliers can
be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten
or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps
and/or tap with a hammer.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
• Water pressure 80PSI max
• Water temperature should be less than 90 degrees
• The tanks should be on a rm, level surface
• Electrical: Use a 115/120v, 60Hz uninterrupted outlet
• Current draw is 0.25 amperes
• A 15-foot power cord is furnished
• The plug-in transformer is for dry locations only
• Batteries are not used
1. The distance between the drain and Waterboy lter should be short as
possible. All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing
codes.
2. Do not install any water lter with less than 10 feet of piping between
its outlet and the inlet of a water heater.
3. Do not locate unit where it or its connections (including the drain and
overow lines) will ever be subjected to room temperatures under 34
degrees F. Otherwise, use an insulator blanket, or enclosure.
4. INLET/OUTLET PLUMBING: Install an inlet shutoff valve and plumb
to the unit’s bypass valve inlet located at the right rear as you face the
unit. There are a variety of installation ttings available.
