Chlorine Reduction
As part of the NSF testing procedure, the Micro-Plus units were challenged by a highly chlorinated test water. As shown in the
Reduction Table below, this water contained 2.0 mg/l (2 ppm) of chlorine, which is approximately 10 times the level of available
chlorine seen in typical water supplies. Since the normal amount of chlorine is 0.1-0.2 ppm, the efficiency of chlorine removal
(% reduction) in the normal or typical installation will be nearly 10 times greater than shown in the effluent tests below, resulting
in an average chlorine affluent (amount allowed through the filter) of less than 0.1 ppm.
Test Parameters: Influent Challenge: pH 7.5 ± 0.5, temp 68°F ± 5°F, (20°C ± 3°C), Pressure 60 psig.
Installation
General Installation/Operation Conditions
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
• Installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
• Filters may be installed in any convenient location.
• Be sure to keep filters away from any heat source.
• Filters must be changed every six months or when capacity expires, whichever comes first.
• The standard period for storage and preservation of filter products is one year. This is simply a precaution, as under normal
conditions these filters should last indefinitely.
Installation Steps
1. Shut off water.
2. Disconnect existing filter or cut water line where filter is to be installed.
3. Install compression or flare fittings, or “Quick Connect” fittings.
4. Use Teflon tape or equivalent where appropriate.
5. Insure proper direction of water flow and connect inlet. USE TWO WRENCHES.
6. Flush 5-6 gallons of water to drain as described above.
7. Turn off water and connect outlet. USE TWO WRENCHES.
8. Carefully turn on the water and check for leaks.
9. Check the filter after approximately 8 hours for slight leaks not visible during initial installation.
