SAFETY GUIDES:
= Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must
follow their guidelines as you install the whole home water filtration system.
=
Do not use this system on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
q
uality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
= This system is only for use on COLD water (100°F / 38°C max.). Do not install on
a hot water supply.
=
Do not install this system where it will be exposed to outdoor weather or direct sun.
= Do not install or store this system where it will be exposed to temperatures below
freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.
=
The maximum operating water pressure of this system is 100 pounds per square
i
nch. If your home water supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, install a pressure
r
educing valve before installing the whole home water filtration system.
INSTALLATION LOCATION:
To filter all house water, install the filtration system on the main (COLD) supply water
pipe near where it enters the house (See Figure 1).
NOTE: A mounting bracket and screws are included to support the filtration system
(See Figure 2).
FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT:
U
tilizes BRW2B, BRW2S, BRW2P, BRW2F, BRW2C and other standard
2-1/2” x 10” filter cartridges.
C
AUTION: Never remove the sump with water pressure in the filtration system.
1
. Close the water supply shutoff valve to the filtration system (See Figure 1). To
r
elieve pressure in the filtration system, press the vent valve on top of the filter head
(
See Figure 3) or open a cold water house faucet downstream of the filtration system.
2
. Turn the sump to the left to remove from the head (See Figure 3). Be careful, as
t
he sump is full of water. Do not lose the large o-ring seal.
3
. Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash with warm, soapy water
a
nd rinse.
4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter cartridge into
t
he sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit only one way. Observe
m
arkings on the cartridge, or on the wrapper.
5
. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal, in the sump, with silicone grease (available at your
l
ocal hardware store). Be sure it is fully seated in the groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head, aligning the center hole in the cartridge with the
p
rotrusion on the bottom of the head.
NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head, you may have the cartridge in
upside down or not centered in the sump. Take the cartridge out and check for
correct orientation.
7. Being careful not to cross-thread, turn the sump to the right onto the filter head and
tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
8. Partially open a house faucet downstream of the filtration system. Then, slowly open
the water supply shutoff valve (See Figure 1) and allow the filtration system to fill with
water. While it is filling, press the vent valve to release air in the filtration system.
9. Close the house faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump and the head.
N
OTE: If a leak is occurring, turn off the water supply and depressurize the filtration
s
ystem. Then, remove the sump and check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots, etc.,
and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o-ring and lubricate with
silicone grease. Carefully press into the groove in the sump.
10. If using a Taste and Odor Cartridge: A taste and odor cartridge contains activated
carbon, a black powder. After the new cartridge is installed, open the faucet down-
stream of the filtration system and allow carbon particles to purge from the car-
t
ridge. Close the faucet when you no longer see “fines” (discoloration) in the fil-
t
ered water, or approximately 2 - 3 minutes.

INSTALLATION STEPS:
1. Obtain two 3/4” male NPT adaptors (not included) of an appropriate size and type
to adapt to the existing cold water supply pipe.
2. Shut off the water supply to the main pipe and open a high and low faucet in the
system to drain the pipe.
3. Cut out a section of the COLD water supply pipe several inches long, as needed
to install the filtration system as shown in Figure 1.
4. Apply 4 wraps of teflon tape to the threads of the 3/4” male NPT adaptors (not
included) and carefully turn them into the filtration system’s inlet and outlet ports.
5. With the IN side of the filtration system toward the incoming water, make connec-
tions, as shown in Figure 1. When tightening compression nuts, be sure to use a
second wrench to hold the 3/4” NPT fitting while turning the nut.
6. Fully open a cold water faucet downstream of the filtration system, then slowly turn
the water supply back on and check for leaks.
7. Turn off the cold water faucet when the water flow becomes smooth.
GROUNDING INFORMATION:
The house cold water pipe is often used to ground electrical outlets in the home.
Grounding protects you from electrical shock. Installing the filtration system may have
broken this ground. To restore, buy and install a #4 copper wire across the filtration
system, tightly clamped at both ends, as shown in Figure 1.
