Water Doctors Food Service Filtration Systems Installation Manual - Mounting
Mounting
1. Measure backplane of filter system and mark
hole locations on wall.
a. Ensure marks are level, then drill
holes for anchors (if needed).
Anchors must be properly matched, to
allow for wet weight of filter system.
b. Secure water filter to wall.
Water Connections
2. Use appropriate 3/8” or ½” fittings and
tubing to allow for a flow rate of 4 to 6
Gallons Per Minute (GPM).
b. Connect water filter inlet to cold water
supply. Use approved flexible beverage
tubing where possible with correct sized tube
clamps. If hard plumbing is necessary then
use only lead-free solder. DO NOT SOLDER
ON PLASTIC FILTER HOUSINGS. They
will melt.
3. From outlet of water filter use no less than
3/8” ID tubing to all specified equipment.
Add a piece of tubing and add a 3/8” “T” and
another short piece of tubing and shut off
valve that can be used as a drain to drain
filters before turning on filters to the
equipment.
*REMINDER: Prior to turning water on onto
the machine, be sure to flush the filters in
order to release carbon fines. If this is not
done, the unit WILL NOT FUNCTION
PROPERLY.
Installing Water Filter
4. Check to see if the O-Ring is lightly
lubricated. Using food grade silicone put a
small amount on the filter O-ring. Line up
slots and push filter into housing, turn ¼ turn
clockwise to tighten.
5. Turn inlet ball valve to the on position
slowing allowing water to fill filter system.
Keep inlet to equipment closed to keep
carbon from entering the system.
6. Open drain valve to allow water to drain into
a bucket until the water runs clear. It will run
black until the carbon gets wet. Once the
water runs clear, turn off the drain valve and
open the valve into the equipment being
filtered.
7. System is now operational. Go back and
check every connection for possible leaks
and fix where needed.
8. Remove filters by turning ¼ turn
counterclockwise.
