electrical service for this appliance.
We have provided

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
It is recommended the LaundryPure never be installed in
areas where water may freeze since the unit will always
maintain some water in the unit, the water valve, and hose
areas. This can cause damage to internal components. It is
also recommended to avoid installation in areas of high
humidity, as it can eect the operation of the unit.
17.25” (438 mm)
9.6” (244 mm)
4.05” (103 mm)
Incoming water pressure must be less than 75 psi. If your household
water pressure is greater than 75 psi, you must install an in-line
pressure reducer before installing LaundryPure. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in water leakage, property damage,
personal injury, and may void your warranty. Water pressure of 20 to
75 psi is required to correctly operate your LaundryPure. Low water
pressure may prevent your unit from operating properly and/or cause
a failure in your washing machine’s water valve.
The washer’s water valve may also not shut o completely. Check
the documentation supplied with your washing machine for exact
specifications. Your washing machine and cold water faucet must be
within 4 feet of the right side of the unit to use the inlet hose provided
with your LaundryPure.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE
LEAK, ALWAYS HAVE FAUCETS ACCESSIBLE AND TURN OFF
FAUCETS WHEN WASHER IS NOT IN USE.
Water quality may aect the performance of your LaundryPure unit.
If you have water quality concerns such as high iron content or high
chlorine content, consult a water filtration expert. This system is
designed for use on potable water systems only.

BEFORE WASHING CLOTHES
IF YOUR WASHING MACHINE IS NOT NEW you will need to
perform this procedure to help remove any detergent buildup
that may contaminate your clothing.
1. Do not put clothes in the washer at this time.
Set your machine to its largest load setting, cold water only.
2. Start the washer and let it run through every cycle.
3. Once it has finished, repeat Steps 1 and 2 three more times.
Depending on the age and severity of detergent buildup,
it may be necessary to perform Step 3 several times.
NOTE: If you have a front loading washer, odors can develop
due to stagnant water left inside. If musty odors develop it may
be necessary to run a commercially available cleaner made
especially for front loading washers to eliminate such odors.
CAUTION:
To avoid the possibility of water damage, should a hose leak,
always have faucets accessible and turn o faucets when washer
is not in use.
IF YOUR WASHING MACHINE IS NEW, skip this section
and continue below.
BEFORE USING YOUR LAUNDRYPURE FOR THE FIRST TIME
USING YOUR LAUNDRYPURE
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER
You may choose to continue to use detergent and/or fabric softeners if desired. However,
to completely experience all the benefits of your new LaundryPure, we recommend
washing using nothing but cold water. NEVER apply detergent directly to dry clothes.
Allow washer to fill, then add detergent to prevent staining on clothes.
COLD HOT NORMAL OPERATION
Using your LaundryPure is as simple as turning on the washing machine. LaundryPure
is designed to use the COLD/COLD setting of your washing machine.
HEAVY STAINS
For heavy stains, pre-treat area, apply pre-treater (such as Re:Move), rub gently and let
stand for several minutes. Wash as normal.
