B.To pierce soft copper tubing, turn handle to the right (clockwise) several times until it stops. The valve is now closed. Turning the handle to the left (counterclockwise) will open the valve.

C.Assemble insert, plastic sleeve and compression nut as shown onto yellow tubing and fasten securely to saddle valve.

4) Making Connections (Refer to Figure 6, Page 12)

A.Connect yellow 1/4” tubing from saddle valve to the “Push-In” fitting on the left side of the bracket assembly. THE YELLOW TUBE MUST GO UP AND THROUGH THE BASE OF THE BRACKET.

IMPORTANT NOTES

•Be sure to install tubing so there are no sharp bends and install enough tubing for ease of ser- vice. Refer to the enclosed diagram (Figure 1, Page 8) on the use of “Push-In” plastic fittings.

•Failure to route the yellow tubing through the bracket will not allow protective shroud to be fas- tened securely to the bracket.

B.Connect the blue 1/4” tubing from the base of the faucet to the “Push-In” fitting at- tached to the base of the shut-off meter.

Installing Filter Cartridge & Replacing Filter Cartridges

C.In order to ensure proper performance, it is essential that “Filter 1” be installed on the left and “Filter 2” on the right side of the bracket assembly. Use the color/number coded labels to match “Filter 1” cartridge with “Filter 1” head.

D.Meter should be set at “Start”.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

•Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

5)Test System

A.Open cold water valve under the sink.

B.The system will pressurize. Check for leaks. If any leaks are present, immediately turn off water and refer to the Troubleshooting Section.

6) Flush Filter

A.Pressing down on the faucet lever will dispense water until you let go. Lifting up on the lever will lock the faucet open.

B.Flush 5 gallons through system (approximately 10 minutes). At this point, the water will run clear. In rare cases, it may take a week or more for the residual air bubbles to be completely eliminated.

C.The system installation is now complete and ready to serve filtered water.

Enjoy!

7)Procedure for Drilling Hole Through Porcelain/Enamel/Ceramic Sinks with Sheet Metal or Cast Iron Base

Recommended Tools:

•Variable Speed Drill

•Porcelain Cutter Tool Set (9/16” size)

•Plumber’s Putty

NOTE: It is important to understand this procedure before beginning.

AP-DWS1000 LF, AP-DWS1000 specifications

The 3M AP-DWS1000 and AP-DWS1000 LF are advanced water filtration systems designed for commercial applications, specifically targeting the growing need for high-quality drinking water in workplaces and public facilities. These systems integrate cutting-edge technology to ensure clean, safe, and great-tasting water.

One of the main features of the 3M AP-DWS1000 is its multi-stage filtration process. This sophisticated method begins with the removal of sediment and larger particulate matter, which can affect the clarity and aesthetic qualities of the water. Following this, the system employs activated carbon filtration to effectively reduce chlorine, taste, and odor, ensuring that the water is not only safe but also pleasant to drink. The AP-DWS1000 LF variant is particularly suited for applications requiring lower levels of lead reduction, making it ideal for settings where water quality is suspect.

Both models utilize a unique design that promotes an easy installation process. The compact nature of the unit also allows for flexible placement options without compromising space. Additionally, the systems come with a user-friendly interface that includes a monitoring feature, which alerts users when filter replacements are necessary. This ensures that the filtration process remains effective, and compliance with health standards is maintained.

In terms of technology, both the AP-DWS1000 and AP-DWS1000 LF leverage advanced materials that enhance their performance and longevity. The high-capacity filters are designed to last longer than traditional filters, making them a cost-effective solution for businesses concerned with maintenance and operational disruptions.

Another characteristic that sets these systems apart is their capacity for high flow rates. This feature allows for multiple users to access filtered water simultaneously without a noticeable drop in water pressure, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.

The 3M AP-DWS1000 and AP-DWS1000 LF represent a fusion of efficiency, effectiveness, and convenience, catering to the needs of modern establishments. With their innovative filtration technologies and user-friendly designs, they provide reliable water quality that aligns with today's health and safety standards. Businesses looking to enhance their water quality solutions can confidently consider these systems as a significant upgrade over traditional filtration methods.
