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).
· This system requires installation of a UV system.The minimum space is 20″
(above and below) to be able to service the UV system.
· 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.

INSTALLATION STEPS 5
Precautions (continued)
· 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.
1 Select Location Lay out system in appropriate configuration. Improper
sequencing of equipment will affect performance, and could possibly damage
your system.
1. 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.

INSTALLATION STEPS 6
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 14
Issue Component is missing or arrived damaged. Tank leans to one side or is
not level Water leak at seam of tank divider Water leak from Aquasana fittings
or drain valve
Water leak from pre/post filter housing
Reduced water pressure after installation
Water appears gray or cloudy Taste/odor of water did not improve
Resolution Call customer service @ 1
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.
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.
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.
· 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.
· 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.
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.
Let air flush from water lines. Cloudy water will dissipate over time (can
take a week to a month) and is completely harmless.
Ensure bypass loop is turned off and system shut-off valves are open.
