Easy To Follow Step by Step Installation
Instructions
O.K. Let’s now begin the
process of installation.
1. OPENING THE CARTON
Please inspect packaging prior
to opening. If there is visible damage make a notation on the
bill of lading or the delivery receipt. Carefully cut all four
sides of the carton as close to the floor as possible. Slide
unit off of the remaining carton base.
Lift the carton up and over the top of the unit. Discard. Peel
the protective plastic film off of the stainless steel outer
tank. Discard. Inspect the unit for concealed damage to the outer
stainless steel tank. Report to carrier if necessary.
2. PREPARE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION
a. Refer to the attached drawing.
Identify the yoke (pipe connector) from the options shown - male
or female pipe, brass or plastic, etc.
b. If a by-pass valve was included:
(1) Refer to the sketch and attach to the head that is on the
top of the tank. Be sure that all mating surfaces are clean and
free of any debris. Wipe with a soft lint free cloth. Lubricate
the O-rings with a light film of silicone grease or a few drops
of liquid hand or dish soap. When properly installed the two
handles will be on top facing the ceiling.
(2) Secure in place with the clips provided on the by-pass and
snug (do not over tighten) the screws provided.
NOTE: When viewing the unit from
the BACK the inlet (untreated water) MUST enter the port on the
RIGHT side. Treated water MUST exit the unit from the LEFT port.
Failure to follow these instructions will cause plumbing problems
and costly unit damage. Do NOT go any farther if you have any
confusion about this portion of the instructions!
Turn off water supply and proceed
to next step.
3. CONNECT PIPES TO UNIT
Be certain to follow good assembly
practices and any applicable local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Your order will also include an inlet five (5)
micron filter and an outlet carbon block filter. The inlet filter
adds life to the system by collecting any debris in the water
supply and the carbon block adds even greater filtration down
to 1 micron providing the ultimate in taste.
The white light weight 5 micron
cartridge is on the INLET and the heavier carbon block is on
the OUTLET.
It is best to install these filter
housings before proceeding with the installation of the Aquafer.
Simply notice the in and out that are embossed on each of the
filters and follow the water flow accordingly.
a. Attach the yoke assembly to
the by-pass valve if provided or directly to the in-out head
if a by-pass was not included. Follow the cleaning instructions
above. DO NOT FIRMLY ATTACH.
b. Set the unit adjacent to the pipes and in the spot where you
wish the final location to be.
c. Take all necessary measurements and proceed to cut pipes and
apply fittings.
d. To avoid damage to the Noryl head on top of the tank, it is
extremely important that the pipes line up properly with the
fitting and that there is no pipe weight transferred to the head.
A good procedure is to remove the pipe adapter from the unit
at this time and do the attachment to the pipes while it is off
of the unit.
e. Now place the unit and align with the pipe connection yoke.
Correct as necessary so that the head on the tank (or the by-pass
valve) freely and easily slips into the adapter. Be sure all
surfaces are clean and lubricate as indicated above. Secure with
the clips provided.
4. START-UP
Locate a high flow faucet as
close as possible to the unit. Open it all of the way.
SLOWLY turn on the water supply.
About 1/8 full open.
Allow water to flow into the
unit. Air will be dispelled from the tank through the open faucet.
Allow to flow until there is
no more air and water only is exiting from the faucet. NOTE:
IF AT ANY TIME YOU NOTICE A FLOW OF THE MEDIA (GOLD COLLORED
PARTICLES) EXITING THE FAUCET. STOP. TURN OFF WATER. THE UNIT
HAS BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS!!!. PLUMBING IS REVERSED.
Open faucet all of the way and
allow water to run until clear. Installation is complete.
Look for and repair any minor
leaks.
ENJOY YOUR EXCELLENT WATER FROM
A TOTALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE AND FRIENDLY UNIT.
