Step 4: Installing the Unit
1. Align the filter canister with pipe ends making certain that the incom-
ing water supply is going into the filter port marked “IN’” It may be
necessary to spread the pipe ends apart to install filter.
2. Using two adjustable wrenches, hold incoming adapter securely with
one wrench and tighten nut with second wrench. Repeat this proce-
dure for outgoing adapter.
3. If necessary, support the water pipes on either side of the filter unit.
Step 5: Installing the Ground Wire (Optional) if your house
plumbing is plastic, this step should be skipped
IMPORTANT: A copper or galvanize house cold water pipe is often used
to ground electrical outlets in the home. Grounding protects you from
electrical shock. The water filter housing may have broken this ground
path. To restore connections install an 18” long, 6 gauge copper wire
across the filter, clamped using 1/2”-1” bronze grounding clamps. Zinc
clamps should not be used on copper plumbing.
1. Clean copper pipe and ends of ground wire with emery paper. Bare
wire is recommended. If insulated wire is used, it should be stripped
3/4” at each end before cleaning with emery paper.
2. Attach bronze clamps to copper pipe. Tighten screws.
3. Attach wire to clamps as shown. Tighten screws.
Step 6: Put Cartridge into The Housing
1. Remove wrapping from new filter cartridge. Put cartridge into hous-
ing, make sure the housing O-ring is in place. Turn housing count-
er-clockwise to close. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. Slowly turn on water supply.
3. Check entire system for leaks. If leaking, shut off water supply and
tighten or reseal fittings.
4. After installation, flush the cartridge for 5 minutes, wait one hour,
then flush again for 5 minutes before using the water.
Step 3: Attach Adapter Fittings to Water Line.
1. Slip a compression nut onto each pipe.
2. Next, slip the brass ferrule onto each pipe. See Fig.6
