cartridge changes.
3. Assemble all !ttings. Start adapters into cap by hand. Use a wrench to
tighten !rmly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
4. Measure length (shown as X on diagram) across assembled !ttings
and subtract 1-inch if you are installing on 3/4-inch pipe, or 1
if you are installing on 1-inch pipe. Mark section of pipe to be
removed.
5. Turn off the main water supply valve and open a faucet on the lowest
level of you home to drain the system. Cut the correct length of pipe.
Use a pipe cutter or hacksaw. File or sand the ends of the pipe to
make sure they are smooth and square.
NOTE: Have a bucket handy to catch any water that may come out of
the pipe.
6. Align !lter assembly with ends of pipe, making certain cap opening
marked "IN" is facing the incoming water supply. It will be necessary
to spread ends of pipe apart to install !lter assembly. Using two
adjustable wrenches, hold incoming adapter securely with one wrench
and tighten nut with second wrench. Repeat procedure for
outgoing adapter.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. If your water pipes are used to
ground your house's electrical system, install a No. 8 AWG (8.4mm
jumper wire (or larger) around the !lter (see Figure 6). The jumper
wire must be connected at both ends by a pressure wire !tting or
other connection that satis!es NEC or CEC and local codes.
7. Slowly turn on water supply to the !lter and depress the red pressure-
relief button on cap to release trapped air. Check for leaks. Open the
nearest faucet and !ush for 10 minutes, wait one hour, then !ush
again for 10 minutes.
WHEN TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE
The life of the cartridge depends on the water volume used and the
substances in the water. Normally the cartridge should be changed at
intervals of three to six months or less. Replace the cartridge sooner if the
water pressure at the faucet begins to drop noticeably or if you notice
changes in the taste, color, or !ow of the !ltered water.
NOTE: Certain types of harmless bacteria will attack cellulose material.
Cartridges containing cellulose, such as the RS15 and TO6, may seem
to disintegrate, produce a "sewer" or "rotten egg" odor, or form a
black precipitate due to bacteria. If this happens, consult OMNIFILTER
Customer Service for advice or select a different cartridge.
