NOTICE
Filter cartridges should be changed at end of filter life, due to lack of
filtering performance, or whenever a 15 psi pressure drop or greater
is experienced during normal operation, whichever comes first.
For all replacement filters and components contact your authorized
Hydro-Safe Foodservice representative.
*Note: The QTBR15S is the same filter as the QTBR15. Only the
label position has been changed so that the label faces forward on
single cartridge systems.
NOTICE
Cartridge capacities are estimates and may be less depending
on incoming water quality.
Notice to Installer
• Connect the system to cold water supply only. Water Temperature
cannot exceed 100°F (38°C).
• System must be installed in a vertical, upright and level position.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown water quality.
• Notice to user/owner/operator: Please retain this manual for future
reference for parts, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
• It is recommended that all personnel responsible for operation and
maintenance of this product read the precautions, maintenance,
and operation sections of this manual.
Installation Precautions
• Do not install system on line pressure above the rated pressure as
noted in System Specications above.
• Do not install the system on a hot water line. Failure to limit the
water temperature to 100°F (38°C) can result in housing failure and
property damage.
• Do not connect the system backwards with the feed water line
connected to the outlet.
• Do not use liquid pipe thread compounds for threaded
connections. Use Teon®tape only.
• Do not solder plumbing connections that are attached to the
housings or inlet/outlet ttings. System damage may occur due to
high temperature.
• Do not allow the system to freeze. Turn off water supply and drain
the system if temperature falls below 32°F (0°C).
• Do not install system in direct sunlight or where the system will be
exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to being hit by
moving equipment, carts, mops, or any other item that may cause
damage.
• Allow 3" (76mm) minimum clearance under the housings for lter
replacement.
• If water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before
the system.
• Do not over tighten tting connections.
• Always back up valves and ttings with a wrench when installing
ttings to avoid over tightening or loosening existing ttings.
• Do not install the unit behind equipment where it may be difcult to
access the system for future lter replacements.
Position the system in a suitable location. The direction of ow
through the system is left to right. Keep this in mind when
determining installation locations. Do not mount the system near any
source of heat. Also do not mount this system over anything that
may be adversely affected by water.
Operation
With sufcient pressure, operation of this system is completely auto-
matic. Dependable operation involves only monitoring system pres-
sure differential, periodic lter changes, and service documentation.
Installation
There is some light eld assembly required for this system.
Before beginning the installation of this system, please make
sure all components are present. Compare the contents of this
box to the system drawings located at the end of this manual.
As illustrated by the drawings, not all systems utilize pressure
gauges. These drawings will be referenced in the installation
instruction steps.
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the system, locate the water
supply shutoff valve and turn it off.
2. Apply Teon tape to the threads of the inlet and outlet valve and
pressure gauges (if supplied for your model). DO NOT USE
PASTE TYPE THREAD SEALANT. Thread the inlet and outlet
valve assemblies into the inlet and outlet ports of the system as
shown on the system drawings in this manual. Install the pres-
sure gauges, if applicable, into the gauge ports as indicated by
the system drawings in this manual.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE FITTINGS INTO THE
FILTER HEADS. When installing ttings onto this system, back
any existing receiving ttings with a wrench to prevent tting
movement. Use a wrench to tighten gauges into their
connection ports. Do not twist on gauge case.

3. Install the lters into the lter manifold. Make sure all plastic
wrapping and protective plastic caps have been removed from
the lters prior to their installation. To install these lters, push
them into the lter manifold and give them a quarter twist
(clockwise when viewed from below). When the lter is
completely inserted, the cartridge label will be front centered.
4. Anchor the system on a wall stud or suitable mounting
materialspanning wall studs. System must be vertical, upright
and level. The mounting hardware used must be selected
and installed so that the system is rmly pressed against the
mounting surface. The system mounting hardware must keep
the system from moving during routine service and operation.
5. Run a suitable line from the tap water source to the inlet ball
valve on the left side of the system. Brace the inlet ball valve on
the system with a wrench when connecting the feed water line.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO
BALL VALVE.
6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed,
and connect it to the outlet ball valve of the system.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTION FITTING INTO BALL
VALVE.
7. Install the ¼" (8mm) tubing into the Quick-Connect tting on the
outlet of the system and hold it over a drain. Open the 1⁄4" (8mm)
drain valve.
8. Once all inlet and outlet piping has been completed, check and
make sure all lter housing(s) are tight, slowly open the inlet valve
and allow all air to purge from the system through the 1⁄4" tubing.
Slowly close the 1⁄4" (8mm) drain valve, allow the system to reach
operating pressure, and check for leaks.
9. If no leaks are present, open the 1⁄4" (8mm) drain line again and
allow it to run to drain for 5 minutes to ush the system then
close the valve.
10. Open the outlet water valve and check for leaks.
11. Record the start up date and pressure gauge values in system
maintenance log.
Overtightening components can damage the system causing
water damage and/or system failure.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance of this system involves periodic lter changes.
Filter cartridges should be changed at end of lter life, due to lack of
ltering performance, or whenever a 15psi pressure drop or greater
is experienced during normal operation, whichever comes rst.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure
Determine whether all equipment connected to the system must
be turned off prior to shutting off water supply from lters.
1. If required, turn off downstream equipment.
2. Turn OFF water to the system by closing the inlet and outlet ball
valves.
3. Open the ¼" drain valve on the outlet of the system to relieve
pressure in the housings.
4. Remove all lters. The QT style lters are removed by rotating
them 1/4 turn to the left and then gently pulling down.
5. Insert new QT style lters into the manifold assembly. Push up
and twist each QT cartridge 1/4 turn to the right to properly
install it into the manifold assembly. When making the 1/4 turn,
the cartridge label should come to a stop facing you.

Do not overtighten lter housing, overtightening may damage
O-ring(s), cause water leaks, or affect system performance.
6. Slightly open the inlet ball valve and fully open the ¼" drain
valve. Once full ow of water ows from the drain port, slowly
open the inlet valve to the full open position. Allow water to ush
to drain for 5 minutes.
7. Slowly close the drain valve and check the system for leaks.
8. Slowly open the outlet valve to restore water ow to downstream
equipment.
9. Record lter change date in system maintenance log.
