Installation Procedure :
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the OptiPure
System.
2. Locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
3. We recommend that you install a full-flow ball valve
of the same size or larger than the connection
fittings on the OptiPure System. Installing a ball
valve on the line supplying the OptiPure System
allows the system to be serviced without shutting
off the main water supply. (It will not be necessary
to use this valve when replacing filters.)
4. Mount the OptiPure System on a wall stud or
suitable mounting material spanning wall studs.
NOTE: QT-4 Systems full of water can weigh up
to 35 lbs. Use suitable fasteners when mounting
to wall.
5. Run a 1/2” Piping/ Tube or 3/4” Piping / Tubing or
larger feed line from the full-flow ball valve to the
top INLET Connection on the left side of the
OptiPure system. For NPT connection: Use 2-3
wraps of PTFE Thread sealant tape and hold the
inlet male fitting on the system with a wrench when
connecting the feed water line.
NOTE: Ensure all piping / tubing being attached
to OptiPure System is properly supported, to
ensure proper alignment and that piping /
tubing can allow movement associated with the
expansion and contraction of the piping system.
Use hangers and anchors of proper strength to
maintain the proportional share weight of the
piping / tubing and contents. Improper piping /
tubing support can cause undesired stress and
fatigue on plastic fittings of OptiPure System
causing system failure.
NOTE: Do not overtighten connection fittings.

Installation Precautions:
• Do NOT install system on line pressure above 100 psi.
• Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
• Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE two to three wraps of
PTFE thread sealant tape.
•
Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if
temperature falls below 33°F.
• Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or
may be subjected to being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item
that may cause damage.
• IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before OptiPure unit.
