1.The glassy layer of porcelain/enamel/ceramic must be scored through to the metal base creating a disc.

2.This disc must be removed while protecting the surrounding decorative coating against chipping or fracturing.

3.The base metal must be drilled through to complete the hole.

Procedure:

A.Mark center for 9/16” hole.

B.Form a dam of shallow putty around hole location and fill with enough water to lubricate carbide drill bit.

C.Carefully drill pilot hole through porcelain/enamel/ceramic and base metal using a carbide pilot drill. Always operate drill with light pressure at slow speed (300-400 rpm).

D.Drill porcelain/enamel/ceramic using special 9/16” cutting tool, making certain a complete ring has been cut through to the sink’s metal base.

E.Change to metal cutting drill bit and drill out the center of the ring, making sure not to contact outer rim of decorative coating. Cut through metal sink base.

8) Troubleshooting

Water leaks from threaded connection:

Tighten fittings or hex nut until leak stops. If leaks persist, shut off water at the cold water valve, remove threaded fittings, reapply PTFE tape around the fitting to the left (counter- clockwise), and screw back into head assembly or saddle valve.

Water leaks at quick connect fittings:

Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the cold water valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collet while pulling the tubing away. Inspect tubing for cracks. If tubing is cracked, simply cut that portion away and re-insert tubing into quick connect fitting (see Figure 1, Page 8).

Water does not flow from the drinking water system faucet:

Check to see if the main water line valve is open, allowing water to flow to the filter. If water still does not flow from the drinking water system faucet, make sure the filter’s shut-off valve is reset to “Start”. Also, check for crimps or sharp bends in the blue and yellow tubing.

NOTE: In rare cases, it may take a week or more for the residual air bubbles to be com- pletely eliminated.

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.
