INSTALL WATER FILTER ASSY.
1. Install water filter assembly on wall or other supporting structure.
2. Connect water filter assembly to inlet of valve on water supply line using minimum 3/8"
I.D. water line. Everpure QC71 Twin filter heads have ¾” fmp and must be reduced
down.
3. Connect water filter assembly outlet to SCR plain water inlet fitting using minimum
3/8" I.D. water line. See CONNECTING WATER INLET.
When a water filter is used, it is important that it has a minimum 100 gallons per hour
capacity and should be thoroughly flushed before it is connected to the water inlet
connection.
WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR & BACK FLOW PREVENTER (OPTIONAL)
- If water pressure exceeds 60 psi, a water pressure regulator or water pressure-reducing
valve should be installed after the water filter in the water supply line and adjusted to
maintain a pressure of 50 psi. (The water regulator must have an orifice of at least 3/16”
so as not to restrict the water flow through the valve. Valves that are built with 1/2" pipe
thread connection usually have a sufficient orifice opening.)
- Always reference local plumbing code for local standards about Back Flow Preventers such as
need, installation placement and type of back flow preventer required.
