Installation

TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY

1.Close the main water supply valve, near the well pump or water meter.

2.Open all faucets to drain water from the house pipes.

NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water heater, as damage to the water heater ele- ments could result.

MOVE THE CENTRAL WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM INTO PLACE

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install Central Water Filtration System.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1.Move the Central Water Filtration System into instal- lation position. Set it on a level surface. If needed, place the unit on a section of plywood, a minimum of 5/8” thick. Then place shims under the plywood to level the Central Water Filtration System (see Figure 8).

2.Remove top cover.

3.Hang cover from post on front of rim, as shown in Figure 9. Avoid allowing cover to hang from wires.

ASSEMBLE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMB- ING

Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of the Central Water Filtration System valve. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and straight. Be sure incoming water supply pipe goes to the Central Water Filtration System valve INLET side.

NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the Central Water Filtration System valve inlet and outlet. Undue stress from misaligned or unsupported plumb- ing may cause damage to the valve.
