Installation & Operation Manual
Installation Requirements
Inlet - Outlet Plumbing Options
Always install either a single bypass valve (provided)
to the contractor/plumber-supplied plumbing, as shown
in Figure 7 OR if desired, a 3 valve bypass system
(parts not included) can be installed, as shown in
Figure 6. Bypass valves allow you to turn off water to
the Whole Home Water Filtration System for mainte-
nance if needed, but still have water in house pipes.
Use either:
 Copper pipe
 Threaded pipe
 PEX (Crosslinked Polyethylene) pipe
 CPVC plastic pipe
 Other pipe approved for use with potable water
IMPORTANT: Do not solder with plumbing attached to
installation adapters and single valve
bypass. Soldering heat will damage the
adapters and valve.
