1) Install Drinking Water System Faucet (Refer to Figure 4, Page 11):

IMPORTANT NOTES

•Porcelain, enamel and ceramic sinks require special procedures for drilling holes. Refer to the special section on porcelain, enamel and ceramic sinks for detailed instructions.

•The drinking water system faucet should be located on a flat surface, conveniently located near the sink, so that it empties into the sink. Most sinks have pre-drilled holes designated for spray- ers, soap dispensers and other accessories. If your sink does not have an extra hole, then a

9/16” diameter hole must be drilled.

Instructions for drilling 9/16” diameter hole through counter top or stainless steel sink

A.Locate area to be drilled. Mark center of the hole with center punch.

B.Drill hole with 9/16” drill bit suitable to counter top materials or cast iron/stainless steel.

C.With grinding wheel or file, smooth out any rough edges.

Installing the Faucet

A.Slide the following parts in the order specified up blue tubing and threaded brass stem:

1.Stainless steel bezel

2.Large rubber washer

B.Next, feed blue tubing and faucet stem down through faucet mounting hole.

C.From underneath sink, assemble the black spacer, star washer and hex nuts as shown (see Figure 4, Page 11) onto the threaded brass stem and tighten by hand.

D.With a padded adjustable wrench, turn the faucet base (above the counter) to the right

(clockwise) to securely fasten. Remove piece of plastic tubing from base.

E.Insert faucet neck onto base until seated and align over sink.

2) Mount System

Determine undersink mounting location

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through

existing electric wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:

•Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the filter bracket.

IMPORTANT NOTES

•Allow a minimum of 2” (5 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.

A.Mark holes on mounting surface using holes on bracket as guides.

B.Drill starter holes into mounting surface.

C.Hang unit onto mounting surface by fastening wood screws through backplate of bracket.

3) Install Feedwater Valve (Refer to Figure 5, Page 11)

CAUTION

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

•Shut off cold water valve under the sink before installing feedwater valve.

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

A.Most sinks use 3/8” copper tubing. Connect the saddle valve as shown in Figure 5, Page 11. The back saddle bracket can be reversed for smaller pipe sizes (7/16” to 1/2”).

Tighten screws evenly and firmly, brackets should be parallel.

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.
