Ensure that the O-ring is seated at the lip of the external
prelter housing. Screw the external prelter housing into the
external prelter head. Tighten the connection with the
housing wrench.
5
The plumbing must be compatible with the inlet and
outlet ports of the external prelter.
6
Install the mini ball valve with plug at the bottom of the
external prelter housing.
When external prelter housing needs to be removed for
servicing (e.g. to change the lter cartridge), close the inlet
valve and depressurize the external prelter by draining the
water inside. To drain the water inside, open the mini ball valve
at the bottom of the external prelter housing. Depress the
red button on the external lter head to speed up draining. A
length of 1/4" tubing can be inserted into the port of the mini
ball valve to direct water into a drain or a large pail.
NOTE: Before installing or replacing the external prelter
housing on the external prelter head, inspect the O-ring to
ensure that it is clean and in good condition. Lubricate the
O-ring sparingly with DOW CORNING 111 silicone lubricant.
WARNING: In surface water
applications, failure to install and/or properly maintain
the external prelter cartridge may cause premature
fouling of the system and therefore, shorten the
system’s life or damage the system membrane, causing
personal injury and/or death.

WARNING: For all surface water
