PRE-INSTALLATION
DANGER! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Only qualified personnel who have read and understand this entire manual should
attempt to install, or service this i16 Water Treatment System, failure to do so could
result in death or serious injury. DO NOT plug into an electrical supply until specifically
instructed.
WARNING! ALWAYS SANITIZE BEFORE USE.
Sanitize before use to eliminate any potential microbiological contaminates.
CAUTION! DRIP TRAY DRAIN.
If you intend to provide a drip tray drain for your customer, be aware that
you will be called multiple times per month to service and unclog the tubing
leading away from the drip tray to drain. Users will clog the drain with paper
clips, erasers, napkins, tea bags, gum, and various other intended items.
Wellsys recommends you establish a minimum of weekly visits to the
machine for cleaning of the drip tray drain.
Materials Needed:
• Personal Protective Equipment. Rubber or Nitrile Safety Gloves and Protective Eyewear

1. Unpack the Wellsys i16 Water Treatment System and check exterior for damage.
CAUTION! FILTER FLUSH REQUIRED.
i16’s Water Treatment Systems are not supplied with filters. Filters should be configured to
optimize your system. Filters need to be configured and specified to do the job given the
local water conditions, usage, maintenance schedule, and placement restrictions.
In order for our filters to perform as represented and to provide the best quality water
possible, it is essential that filters be replaced periodically. The frequency of filter changes
depends upon your water quality and your water usage. For example, if there is a lot of
sediment and/or particles in your water, then you will have to change your filters more
frequently than a location with little to no sediment. Be sure to replace your filters whenever
you notice a decline in the performance, whether it is a drop in flow rate and/or pressure or
an unusual taste in the water.
2. Flush thoroughly per filter manufacturers’ recommendation with fresh water to drain. More
details provided in the Installation section further down.
3. Once flushed, install the filters. Following the flow direction on the filter.
NOTE: Filters should not be flushed prior to 24 hours before installation to limit Microbial
Growth.
