Installation Instructions
1. Verify the water main has been
shut off.
2. Using a stud finder, attach mounting
bracket to the studs in the wall.
3. Remove the system from package.
Remove all foam packing and any
plastic wrap. Be sure to check inside
the system for any loose foam,
plastic, or package contents.
4. Install the system by attaching
the head to the mounting bracket.
Ensure that the system is installed
vertically with the blue head at the
top of the system. Do not invert
the system.
5. Install a pressure regulator (E)
ahead of the NuvoH2O system. Set
or 45-65 PSI. A pressure spike,
though unlikely, can still damage the
system if it is not protected
and potentially result in leaks.
6. Install a bypass. See the diagram
on page 3.
7. Use flexible hoses to connect
the inlet pipe to the inlet port on
the system. Use flexible hoses to
connect the outlet port of the system
head to the outlet pipe. Failure to
use flexible hoses may result in
water leakage.
8. Use Teflon tape to seal the
connections.
9. Lubricate (included) the O-ring at
the top of the housing sump.
10. Remove the protective plastic wrap
from the cartridge(s) before inserting
into housing.
11. Insert and seat the cartridge into
the sump. The small, round holes
on the side of the cartridge must
be at the top. See the cartridge
replacement instructions for
more details.
12. Place the sump directly under the
head. Carefully attach sump with
cartridge inside to head by rotating
clockwise (right). Secure with
wrench provided.
13. Open the pressure release valve
on the top of the head using a
screwdriver (do not remove the
pressure release valve, only
loosen it).
14. Open the first bypass valve (A),
allowing the sump to fill with water.
When water leaks from the pressure
release valve at the top of the head,
tighten to close (B).
15. Close the first bypass valve (A),
allow cartridge to sit in the housing
with minimal water flow for one
hour. Open main valve (C), thus
allowing water to flow throughout
the household while cartridge sits.
16. After one hour, close the top
bypass valve (C) and open the
first and last bypass valves (A&D),
allowing water to flow through
the system.
