Safety Warnings
For your safety, please read the following safety instructions before attempting the
system installation or operation.
DO NOT operate this filter system:
• With liquids corrosive to the system materials.
• At pressures exceeding the maximum specified operating pressure.
• At temperatures that exceed the maximum specified operating temperature.
Waterite Technologies does not accept the responsibility for damages resulting from improper
equipment application or operation.
When disassembling or maintaining the filter system, please note:
• The filter housing can be under pressure! Please make sure all the system pressure has been
released and inlet and outlet(s) are closed before opening the filter housing.
• The liquid in the filter housing can be chemically and/or biologically hazardous! Please take all
necessary precautions before opening the housing.
• Make sure the system closure is secure before restarting the system.
Installation
1. Install the unit in the desired location making sure the unit is level, on a firm base and has
sufficient space for easy servicing. Unit must be installed in a standing position and placed as
close as possible to the water supply source. A mounting hole on each supporting pad allows
positive attachment to the floor or the base. Do NOT install the unit in a location where freezing
temperatures occur or incoming water temperature above 65°C (150°F). Extreme water
temperatures can cause permanent damage to the equipment and will void the warranty.
2. Connect the upper flange port to the water inlet, the bottom flange port to the water outlet.
Making sure the gasket on the flange connection is suitable for the system pressure and
temperature and is chemically compatible with the filtrate. For precise system control,
monitoring and for ease of maintenance it is recommended to install pressure gauges and shut
off valves before and after the filter housing. For operation convenience, both the drain plug
and the vent plug may be replaced with ball valves.
3. Cartridges are NOT included with your filter housing and must be purchased separately. Upon
the completion of the housing installation, remove the housing lid. Screw the top diffuser plate
on the threaded end of the Jumbo pleated filter cartridge. Lubricate the cartridge bottom
opening with a good-quality, food-grade silicone grease (DO NOT use a petroleum-based
lubricant) to assist in the insertion of the cartridge on the housing stand pipe. Gently push the
bottom of the cartridge on to the standpipe and push down until the cartridge reaches the
bottom of the housing.
4. Close the system lid and make sure the lid o-ring is aligned correctly and the lid closure is
secured.
