Before You Start

￿See "Installation Requirements" section before installing Central Water Filtration System.

￿Follow the installation instructions (Failure to install the system properly voids the warranty).

￿Before you begin installation, read this entire manual. Then, obtain all the materials and tools you will need to make the installation. Check local plumbing and electrical codes.

￿Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by federal codes.

￿Use care when handling the Central Water Filtration System. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on sharp pro- trusions.

￿Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.

￿The Central Water Filtration System has a maximum allowable inlet water pressure of 125 psi and a minimum of 30 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reduc- ing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow.). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and laws.

￿The Central Water Filtration System works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-in transformer (included). Be sure to use the included transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle house- hold outlet that is properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If transformer is replaced, use only the authorized service, Class II, 24V 10VA transformer.

￿Do not use the Central Water Filtration System with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of accord- ing to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment.

This under-sink water filtration system stands out due to its advanced technology and user-friendly design, making it a popular choice among consumers concerned about water quality.

One of the main features of the WHELJ1 is its multi-stage filtration process.
