If you have product or installation questions, we can help by constructing
drawings and diagrams and discussing your particular needs.
Many
of our residential products are easy to install. For those who would like
to "do it themselves," we offer the following tips and suggestions.
- Please
always work safe and use the proper safety equipment when called for.
- Take
care not to drill through pipes or wires by accident.
- Take
your time.
- Mind
your head, but if you insist, do not bump it too hard.
- On
countertop filters, do not extend the diverter valve handle to gain
more leverage. Also be sure not to overtighten. Use care in the attachment
of the hose to the canister fitting.
- Situate
the filter so that air is not trapped. Allow the water to flow UP through
the element.
- Use
plastic sleeves and brass inserts on plastic tube fittings.
- ALWAYS
use a back-up wrench when tightening fittings.
- Do
not attempt to tighten the fitting in the filter housing.
- The
carbon dust from shipping and handling will be purged from the filter
with the first flow of water. It is harmless but not appealing. Run
the filter for a few glassfuls before placing it into service.
- On
ice maker/refrigerator installations, purge the carbon dust BEFORE
connecting the tube to the appliance. Slowly open the supply line feeding
the filter and let the water flow freely into a pail. You can increase
flow and shock the cartridge by stopping and releasing the flow by placing
your finger over the discharge stream.
