Waterite WR2 - Section 2. Unpacking and Installation

3
!
WATERITE FILTER SYSTEMS ARE TO BE OPERATED ONLY WITH A SAFE, CHLORINATED
RAW WATER SOURCE. THIS IS NECESSARY TO PERIODICALLY PURGE AND FLUSH THE
SYSTEM WITH WATER THAT HAS A CHLORINE RESIDUAL TO SANITIZE PARTS OF THE
SYSTEM THAT NORMALLY ARE EXPOSED TO WATER THAT HAS BEEN DECHLORINATED
AND MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION. FOLLOW FLUSHING
INSTRUCTIONS AND CHANGE FILTER CARTRIDGES AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS.
Q: What does filtered drinking water taste like?
As most of the sediment and chlorine will be removed, your filtered water will taste similar to bottled
water. Most people enjoy the natural flavour. You will immediately notice that brewed coffee and
juices from concentrate have a greatly enhanced taste and aroma.
Q: Where is the system installed?
Typically, the system is installed under the kitchen sink. Some homeowners or installers prefer the
basement or crawlspace, as this conserves storage in the kitchen and may allow for easier access
to the system for maintenance purposes.
Q: Can the WR2 filter system be connected to an extra faucet?
Yes. Many installations will include an optional ¼” line to refrigerator icemakers or additional sink
faucets. See your dealer for advice and parts.
Q: What is the standard warranty with the WR2 filter system?
Every Vectapure II™ system comes with a standard one-year limited warranty on all parts and repair
labour. A detailed warranty card is included with the unit. Normal filter cartridge replacement is
excluded from your warranty.
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the WR2 filter system?
A good rule of thumb is to replace all filter cartridges every three months. When the old cartridges
have been removed, the system should be purged and flooded with chlorinated water before the
new cartridges are installed.
