How a Whole Home Water Filtration System Works
Normal Operation
During normal operation water enters the Whole Home
Water Filtration System and flows through several fil-
tration processes where tastes, odors and sediment
are reduced.
Clean Rinse Cycle
A Clean Rinse cycle will automatically be initiated
based on how the controller has been programmed.
The Clean Rinse cycle lifts and expands the media
bed to rejuvenate the media and then repacks the bed
for continued use. During the Clean Rinse cycle, dirt,
sediment, etc. are flushed from the Whole Home
Water Filtration System down the drain.
Applications for a Whole Home
Water Filtration System
 Do not use the Whole Home Water Filtration
System with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
 The Whole Home Water Filtration System may not
be an effective treatment method for water sources
with a hydrogen sulfide problem (rotten egg odor or
taste) If your water has hydrogen sulfide, contact a
water treatment expert or call 1-888-64 WATER.
 The Whole Home Water Filtration System will not
remove iron and is not intended to replace iron
treatment equipment.
 Although the Whole Home Water Filtration System
has sediment filter capabilities, additional sediment
filtration may be needed in problem water applica-
tions.
 Use care when handling the Whole Home Water Filtration System. Do not turn upside down, drop, or set on
sharp protrusions.
 The Whole Home Water Filtration System has a maximum allowable inlet water pressure of 125 psi and a mini-
mum of 30 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure
reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow.). If your home is equipped
with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and laws.
 The Whole Home Water Filtration System works on 24 volt, 60 Hz electrical power only, supplied by a direct plug-
in transformer (included). Be sure to use the included transformer and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 cycle
household outlet that is properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. If trans-
former is replaced, use only UL, CUL or CSA approved Class 2 transformer with the following specifications:
 Input: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 13.5 W  Output Voltage: 24 VAC  Output Current: 400 mA
 Do not use the Whole Home Water Filtration System with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of accord-
ing to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws
are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for
proper disposal of this equipment.
