2 QL2OW200L FILTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
INSTALLATION
The following instructions provide for installation of a
QL2-OW200L system regardless of whether or not the cooler
is already installed. The label on the OW200L cartridge
illustrates and explains the procedure for cartridge insertion
and removal into the filter head. The filter cartridge should be
placed into the head after the system has been installed.
1. Install the QL2-OW200L as close to the cooler as
possible. Do not connect this filter to any other
equipment. Connect only to the cold water line and do
not expose it to high temperatures.
2. Select a location for the filter [nominally 4 x 4 x 22 inches
long (10.1 x 10.1 x 55.8 cm) including a 2.5 inch (6.3 cm)
drop-down clearance for cartridge changes). Write the
installation date and anticipated cartridge replacement
date in the space provided on the cartridge label. The
cartridge should be replaced every 480 gallons (1816 L)
for optimum lead and THM reduction.
3. If required, shut off the incoming water supply and
relieve pressure in the water line. Cut the tubing,
allowing a 4 inch (10.1 cm) space for the filter installation
between the water supply and the cooler water inlet.
4. Note the arrow in the top of the QL2 head assembly. This
indicates the water flow, from left to right. Note that
a 3/8-inch flow control/quick disconnect fitting (E) has
been installed in the outlet (right hand) port.
5. Install a fitting (not supplied) into the inlet (left hand)
port. Do not overtighten the fitting. Use plumber tape or
food grade pipe joint sealant on fittings.
6. Cut the end of the outlet tubing with a sharp knife,
making sure the tube end is cut flat. Insert the tube end
onto the quick disconnect fitting (E) and push firmly until
the tube end bottoms out in the fitting. To remove the
tubing, push the gray ring tight against the fitting while
pulling the tubing out.
7. Position the QL2 head assembly so that the arrow shown
on top of the head corresponds to the direction of water
flow and attach the incoming cold water supply to the
inlet of the head.
8. Connect the filter outlet to the water cooler inlet line,
and secure in place by tightening the compression nuts.
9. Mount the head to the wall or the cabinet using the
screws (C) and star washers (D) provided.
10. Install the OW200L cartridge (B) into the head following
the instructions on the cartridge label.
11. Turn on the water and check for leaks.
12. Run water through the OW200L cartridge for three
minutes at maximum flow to purge the cartridge of air.
Check for compliance with state and local laws and
regulations. Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
