Before Installation

Product features
The Waterdrop Mega Spin Down Sediment Filter System filters municipal tap water through a stainless steel filter mesh and replaceable PP cotton filter cartridge, which can filter out sediment, rust, suspended solids, and parasites in the water. The system can be washed at any time. It effectively protects appliances such as water purifiers, water heaters, wall-hung boilers, washing machines, dishwashers, and solar showers. The transparent high- strength filter housing allows you to check the working status of the filter at any time, and the system’s maintenance and flushing process can be seen at a glance.

Installation steps:
In order to adapt to different sizes of pipes, the inlet and exit of the system through the adapter, can choose two thread specifications (3 / 4 “MNPT, 1” FNPT), which can be connected with PEX, CPVC, PPR and copper pipe. Please choose the appropriate joint connection mode according to the size of the pipe in the home.
Pay attention to the direction of the water flow when installing.
NOTE: When turning Filter switch handle, make sure the pointer is aligned with the words, otherwise it will cause poor filtration effect or no water.

1. Shut off the main inlet valve. Turn on the faucet to release the pressure inside the pipe, And rotate the filter switch to the on state.

2. Take out the 3/4° FNPT & I’MNPT adapter, insert the threaded union into the union nut and install the white gasket, and install the assembled adaptor on both sides and tighten it with awrench. (Figure 1)

3. Wrap more than 10 loops of Tefion tape on the external thread of the union on both sides. Install two 3/4 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 3/4 in. MNPT male or 3/4 in. Brass PEX-A Barb x 1 in. FNPT Female Adapters (not included in the box) on the adapter, and tighten it with a wrench. (Figure 2)

4. Cut off the appropriate length of the PEX pipe. Fix the pipe on the system with two 3/4 in. Stainless Steel PEX Barb Pinch Clamps (not included in the box). Pay attention to the water inlet direction, and do not install it in the opposite direction. You can also use an expansion ring to fix the pipe.

5. Finding out the installation position of the filter, fix the hanging plate on the wall through the expansion screw, and put the whole filter on the hanging plate to ensure the system level. (Figure 3)

6. Install the quick-connect threaded connector on the drain port, and then insert the drain tubing into the quick-connect threaded connector. Ensure that the tubing is inserted in place.
   You can lead the drain to sewage outlets or a bucket. (Figure 4)

7. Screw the Filter switch handle to backwash. Slowly turn on the main inlet valve. Turn off the water outlet after the domestic water equipment is able to dispense water. Be sure to check whether there is water leakage or slow water seepage at the joints. At the same time, open the drain valve for about 3 minutes to purge the air from the system, and then check whether there is water leakage. If there is water leakage, check whether the joint is tight.

Open the drain valve and flush for 3 minutes. After the valve is shut off and Screw the Filter switch handle t0 ON, the system can be used normally.

Operation and maintenance

1. Filtration status
   When the unfiltered water enters the filter from the inlet and passes through the filter mesh’s inner core, the large particles are intercepted on the outer surface of the mesh, and the filtered water flows from the outlet to the rear stage pipe.

2. Flushing status
   The tap water enters the filter through the inlet, passes through a stainless steel mesh, and then goes through a PP cotton filter to complete the filtration process. Please refer to the diagram for the water flow.

3. Clean the filter mesh
   When some sticky impurities are embedded in the filter mesh and cannot be discharged after the drain valve is turned on, which also affects the water output and pressure of the other equipment, the filter mesh should be flushed.
   a. Screw the Filter switch handle to off. Turn on the drain valve and release to pressure in the pipe
   b. Place the wrench on the fixed collar, make sure the handle fits into the lock ring slot, and unscrew the lock ring clockwise. Please note the sharp thread to prevent injury. It is recommended to catch the residual water in the filter housing with a container.
   c. Take out the filter mesh and remove the impurities with a cleaning solution or brush. NOTE: Do not use a strong acid or alkaline cleaning solution.
   d. Put the clean filter mesh back to the filter housing.
   e. Tighten the filter housing and machine head with a wrench.

4. Replace the PP filter element
   NOTE: The ife of the filter element s actually different according to the local water quality. Please reqularly check the color of the filter element and the water flow rate, and replace the filter element promptly according to the pictures on the product label We recommend replacing the PP cotton filter cartridge every 6 months.
   a. Screw the Filter switch handle to OFF. Open the drain valve and release the pressure in the pipe.
   b. Place the wrench on the fixed collar, make sure the handle fits into the lock ring slot, and unscrew the lock ring clockwise. Please note the sharp thread to prevent injury. It is recommended to catch the residual water in the filter housing with a container.
   Take out the whole filter element, one hand holds the lower half of the filter cartridge component shell, one hand holds the filter cartridge compo- nent cover with the other hand, screw the upper cover counterclockwise and pull out the upper cover. (Figure 5) c. Remove the old PP cotton filter element and put the new PP cotton filter element into the filter element shell. Install the top cover and tighten clockwise to ensure that the top cover is locked.
   d. Put the filter element back to the filter case. (Figure 6)
   e. Tighten the filter head and retaining ring with a wrench.
   NOTE: Sharp thread, operate carefully to prevent injury. (Figure 7)
