Service manual
INSTALL WATER FILTER ASSY.
1. Install water filter assembly on wall or other supporting structure.
2. Connect water filter assembly to inlet of valve on water supply line using minimum 3/8"
I.D. water line. Everpure QC71 Twin filter heads have ¾” fmp and must be reduced
down.
3. Connect water filter assembly outlet to SCR plain water inlet fitting using minimum
3/8" I.D. water line. See CONNECTING WATER INLET.
When a water filter is used, it is important that it has a minimum 100 gallons per hour
capacity and should be thoroughly flushed before it is connected to the water inlet
connection.
WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR & BACK FLOW PREVENTER (OPTIONAL)
- If water pressure exceeds 60 psi, a water pressure regulator or water pressure-reducing
valve should be installed after the water filter in the water supply line and adjusted to
maintain a pressure of 50 psi. (The water regulator must have an orifice of at least 3/16”
so as not to restrict the water flow through the valve. Valves that are built with 1/2" pipe
thread connection usually have a sufficient orifice opening.)
- Always reference local plumbing code for local standards about Back Flow Preventers such as
need, installation placement and type of back flow preventer required.
