Precautions

• For all installations: Due to the varieties of home design, not all configurations can be addressed in this guide. Anticipate the need for additional parts and pieces including but not limited to pex tubing, clamps, and mounting screws to install unit properly (available at a local home improvement store or through your plumbing contractor).
• DO NOT install this filter where the line pressure may exceed 100 psi. The operating pressure range for this filter is between 20psi – 100psi. In areas with high pressure, a pressure relief valve and a water hammer arrestor may be necessary.
• Install on cold water lines only (40° – 90°F).
• Installation of the filtration system must comply with existing state and local plumbing codes.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable water line.
• It is recommended your system be installed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to light can weaken plastic components, resulting in filter housing failure. If this is not possible and the system is outdoors or in a sunny area, the unit must be protected from both direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
• Unit must be installed in an area where the main water line enters your home, before connecting to the water heater. DO NOT install after a water heater or on the hot water line.
• DO NOT install the tank on its side. It must be installed upright to maximize contact with media bed.
• Pick an appropriate installation location where if the tank or any connection thereto should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the surrounding area. Dimensions of systems vary—always allow an estimated minimum of 60″ clearance for height of tank, and a minimum of 44″ for floor space.
• Filtration tank must be flushed before running water from system into house.
• NSF certified plumber’s tape (thread sealing tape) is the only sealer that can be used on threaded fittings. DO NOT use pipe dope or PVC primer/glue on threaded fittings. Exposure to these compounds will damage nipples causing leaks.
• Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.
• If installing on metallic plumbing, two grounding clamps and #4 copper wire are essential for safety.
• It is strongly recommended to install a check valve at the end of your system configuration and before the water heater to protect your filtration system from back flow.

Step 1: Select Location

1. Pick an appropriate installation location. Install after any outdoor hose bibs or irrigation lines to avoid using filtered water where not needed. Pick an appropriate installation location. Unit must be installed in an area where the main water line enters your home, and before it connects to the water heater. It is recommended to install after any outdoor hose bibs or irrigation lines to avoid using filtered water where not needed.
   DO NOT install after the water heater or on the hot water line.

2. Choose the location for a shut-off valve to be able to isolate your system. If installing a check valve, it should be installed after your system but before the water heater. If installing the Pro-Grade Bypass Kit, choose the location at this time.

Lay out system in appropriate configuration. Improper sequencing of equipment will affect performance, and could possibly damage your system.

Pro-Grade Bypass Kit Installation:
IF YOUR SYSTEM does not include the Pro-Grade Bypass Kit, continue to step 2.

NOTE: Due to the variety of home design and spaces, anticipate the need for additional items to install bypass loop properly. Additional items would be available at a local home improvement store or through your plumbing contractor. Not all configurations can be addressed in this guide.

1. Once you’ve selected an appropriate location for your whole home water filter system and main shut-off valve, lay out the bypass loop and ensure you have all the components and tools required.
   • The Pro-Grade Bypass Kit is specific to 1” PEX connections for easy installation.
   • Reference the system configuration image on page 9 when laying out bypass loop components to ensure correct order and location.
2. Pre-assemble all the parts before starting the installation. Straighten out your PEX tubing and plan for additional length that can be trimmed down before the final installation.
3. Mark your incoming water line where you would like to start your bypass loop. This should be before your main PVC shut-off valve. Prepare your existing pipes by cleaning the sections you plan to cut.
4. Once your bypass loop is prepared, continue to step 2 on next page before making the final connections.
5. Once the main system has been fully installed, cut down any PEX tubing to ensure you have the proper length and complete bypass loop connections.
6. Turn on main water line and check for leaks.

Bypass Kit Box Contents:

1. PEX 1” brass shut-off valves (2)
2. PEX 1” brass 90° elbows (2)
3. PEX 1” brass tees (2)
4. PEX 1” brass male adapters (2)

Prepare Rhino® Tank

1. Ensure the Rhino tank sits level. If it looks off-center or unlevel, reference the troubleshooting section.
2. Pre-assemble all parts and dry-fit the entire system to ensure proper spacing and to confirm you have the necessary components for installation. Reference system configuration image on page 3 to understand the system layout and connections.
3. Connect all smooth fitting connections using NSF certified primer and glue. Smooth connections will be on the nipples, unions, shut-off valve, and PVC tee. Once glue is applied, press and hold the connection tight for 10-15 seconds.
4. Carefully remove shipping caps from inlet and outlet ports without damaging valve threads.
5. Wrap threaded nipple ends 3 times with NSF certified plumber’s tape. Insert the nipples and attached unions to the filtration tank’s threaded inlet and outlet. Hand tighten and then tighten again with a pipe wrench (2-2.5 rotations) to seal the connections.

NOTE: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. If space does not allow for a pipe wrench to grip the nipples, clamp to the glued union to make final rotations.

COPPER PIPES ONLY (proceed to Step 4 for all other pipes)
When installing on metallic plumbing, ensure you take the following precautions. Securely install two (2) grounding clamps and a #4 copper wire (not included) across the location where the system will be installed. Tightly clamp at both ends, as shown in the illustration.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Prior to installation on metallic plumbing, securely install two grounding clamps and a #4 copper wire per installation instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electric shock.

Install Shut-off Valve and Ensure Spacing
NOTE: You may need additional components to connect your system to the main water line where it enters and exits the filtration system. Ensure you have all components needed before proceeding to the next steps.

1. Turn off the main water source. Drain water from lines to relieve pressure by turning on a faucet at the lowest elevation inside your home.
   NOTE: Installation could take 1–4 hours to complete. Plan accordingly as you will be without water throughout the home during this time.

2. Using a pipe cutter, cut into the main water supply line and catch any remaining water in the 5-gallon bucket. Each system includes a 1″ PVC shut-off valve with the option of threaded or smooth connections, as well as reducer bushings to connect to a 3/4″ main water line.

3. Loosely fit shut-off valve to calculate the proper spacing of components.

4. Measure distance for Pre- and Post-Filter, Rhino® tank, and optional add-ons (Salt-Free Water Conditioner and UV Filter) and mark pipe accordingly.

NOTE: DO NOT cut more pipe than necessary. You can cut more pipe later if needed. If you’re installing a bypass loop, plan accordingly for the space required.

1. PEX 1” brass shut-off valves (2)
2. PEX 1” brass 90° elbows (2)
3. PEX 1” brass tees (2)
4. PEX 1” brass male adapters (2)

Cut Pipes
Cut pipe along the marked sections from step 4 and clean ends of pipe. Ensure there are no burrs, sharp edges, or deep scratches.

NOTE: Cut tubing as straight as possible with a utility knife, or an appropriate pipe cutter for copper, PVC, or PEX tubing.

Assemble Drain Valve
NOTE: All threads are NPT tapered pipe threads.

1. Using PVC primer and glue, assemble the piping as shown to the right (Figure 1), applying primer and glue. Ensure enough glue cure time before running water through the system.

2. Wrap the 1/2″ male drain end 2-3 times with plumber’s tape .

3. Hand tighten the drain valve into the 1/2″ female threaded tee. Then, tighten 1-2 more turns with a wrench .

NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. There should be a gap between the drain valve threads and tee. Tightening the 1/2″ brass drain valve more than 2 turns with a wrench can cause the tee to crack.

Configure System

1. Fit Rhino® tank and additional optional add-ons into the system at this time.

2. Attach the shut-off valve to your incoming water line.

3. Connect the threaded nipple from the shut-off valve outlet to the 20″ Pre-Filter housing inlet with NSF certified plumber’s tape.
   NOTE: If you upgraded to the Low Maintenance Pre-Filter, the following steps re main the same.

4. Attach the filter wall bracket to the Pre-Filter housing with included screws. Once this is complete, screw the support bracket to the wall.
   NOTE: Additional materials may be needed to ensure Pre-Filter and Post- Filter brackets are supported and properly secured to wall.

5. Ensure all parts are flowing through the “IN” port in the correct direction of water flow.

6. Connect the threaded nipple from the Pre-Filter outlet to the union that is attached to the Rhino® tank inlet.

7. Using the drain valve assembly from step 6, connect the drain valve assembly to the union attached to the Rhino® tank outlet as well as the Post-Filter inlet with included nipples.

8. Attach the Post-Filter bracket and housing to the wall, similar to the Pre-Filter, and ensure all connections are tight.

9. If you have additional attachments, please reference those manuals before the final installation.

10. Once installation is complete, allow proper time for the glue to dry according to manufacturer instructions.

Flush Your System
NOTE: It’s imperative that this system is flushed properly prior to system water entering your house. The granular carbon used in the filtration tank contains fines that must be flushed out prior to use.

1. Connect a garden hose to the integrated drain valve and ensure the drain valve is in the open position.
2. Ensure the garden hose outlet is directed towards a floor drain or outdoor area. If a bypass loop is installed, ensure each shut-off valve is in a closed position.
3. Slowly turn the water on from the initial shut-off valve and inspect for leaks. If any leaks are detected, refer to the troubleshooting section. If no leaks are detected, proceed with the flushing process.
4. Slowly turn the water on and allow discolored water to flow from the drain valve into a suitable drainage area. The first few gallons will appear black and cloudy due to carbon fines.
5. After the initial 15-minute flushing, begin a period of “surge flushing” by turning the water supply on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds, repeating the cycle for 15 minutes or until the initial surge of water is completely clear and free from discoloration and cloudiness.
6. Final installation is complete. You may now close off the drain valve and enjoy filtered water throughout your home.

NOTE: Do not drink flushed water.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

866-662-6885 option 1, and then option 2, and then option 1. Please have order number, model number, and pictures of damaged packaging and/or damaged unit.
Tank leans to one side or is not level| Lift the tank straight up and tap down on the ground until the tank stands vertically. The bottom of the tank is round and the boot allows the tank to stand upright.
Water leak at seam of tank divider| Valve o-ring may not be placed properly or the top or bottom tank may have loosened during shipping. Use rubber strap wrench to tighten tanks. If leak continues, contact customer service with a pre-recorded video of leak.
Water leak from Aquasana fittings or drain valve|

• Ensure tight connection – do not overtighten as that could cause cracks and further leaking.
• Close the shut-off valve before the leak. Unscrew the closest union and the threaded connection. Remove the previous sealing tape from the fitting and place more sealing tape and or tighten the connection properly.
• Ensure all connections are properly tightened with a wrench – do not over-tighten! If the problem persists, contact customer service with pre-recorded video.

Water leak from pre/post filter housing|

• Ensure tight connection – do not overtighten as that could cause cracks and further leaking.
• Tighten the housing further with the included wrench.
• If leak persists, close the shut-off valve before the leak. Remove housing and filter. Clean o-ring, inside the housing, and all threaded connections. Re-lubricate the o-ring and reassemble it with a new filter.
• If a crack is visible and/or other methods do not stop the leak, contact customer service.

Reduced water pressure after installation| It is recommended that the sediment pre-filter be replaced every 2 months depending on the amount of sediment in your water supply. If the system has been working properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the sediment filter. Check the sediment filter and replace if necessary.
Water appears gray or cloudy| Let air flush from water lines. Cloudy water will dissipate over time (can take a week to a month) and is completely harmless.
Taste/odor of water did not improve| Ensure bypass loop is turned off and system shut-off valves are open.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning

• The exterior of your filtration system can be cleaned with warm, soapy water. Do not use any abrasive solution.
• Rinse well with clean water.

NOTE: Never use chemical cleaning products on the system’s exterior surface as they may damage the housing.
