Installation - Rainfresh BH010 Mode D'emploi

(D) INSTALLATION
CAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION

For use on main cold water line only.

Always install after your pump and pressure tank (well or lake water) or after your meter and your main
shut off valve (city water). NEVER INSTALL FILTER HOUSING BETWEEN YOUR WELL PUMP & PRESSURE
TANK as that can cause damage to the unit and/or your well pump.

Caution: The rubber O-rings provide a water tight seal between the head and sump. It is important that they
are properly seated in the grooves of the sump or a water leak could occur.

Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe without adequate disinfection before or after the filter.
For effective disinfection install a Rainfresh Whole House UV Water Disinfection System or Undersink
Drinking Water System model UCS3, UCS2, SST or FC000/1M available at the same retail store where you
purchased this unit.

Do not over tighten metal fittings into plastic filter head or it may crack.

Do not use torch/heat near plastic housing. If necessary, wrap a wet cloth around the pipe and head to
absorb heat. All solder joints should be made before joining pipe to the filter head.

Do not install in direct sunlight.

Do not use thread sealing compounds. Use thread seal tape for connections into unit.

Do not use petroleum based lubricants on the unit as that can damage the unit and cause leaks. Use only
food grade silicone lubricant available at most retail stores.

Allow at least three (3) inches above and below filter for clearance.

Prevent unit from freezing

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING: If water pipes are used to ground your electrical system, install jumper wire (not
included) across the filter unit.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Instructions are for installing the BH010 housing on to 3/4"
copper pipe using copper or brass solder fittings (fig A).
Alternatively, if you want to use a solder-less connector kit or if
the unit is to be installed on plastic PEX pipe, use connector kit
model CK4 available at the same retail store where you
purchased this unit. Plumbing instructions are included with the
connector kit.
Tools Required
Adjustable wrench, ½" socket wrench, pipe cutter, file or sand
cloth, thread seal tape, soldering torch, flux & lead-free solder,
pencil or marker, bucket & paper towels.
Fittings required to install on to ¾" copper pipe
- 1"NPT male adapters (2) and 1"x3/4" reducers (2),
3/4" unions (2) (available at most plumbing retailers). It
is recommended that you build a by-pass around the
unit so that in case filter housing needs to be removed
for service, unfiltered water can still be used in the
house. To build the by-pass, you will need 3/4" copper
tees (2), 3/4" elbows (2) and 3/4" shut-off valves (3).
The filter should only be installed vertically as shown.
The inlet/outlet ports can be oriented on either side but water must enter only through the INLET port.
