INSTALLATION STEPS

Cut Pipes

1. Using a pipe cutter, cut into the main water supply line

along the marked sections from step 4 to install the

shut-off valve and clean ends of pipe. Ensure there are

no burrs, sharp edges, or deep scratches. Cut tubing as

straight as possible with a utility knife, or an appropriate

pipe cutter for copper tubing or PVC.

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

NOTE: DO NOT cut more pipe than necessary. You can cut more pipe later if

needed. If you're also installing a bypass loop, do so at this time.

Configure System

Fit OptimH2O tank and additional optional add-ons into the system at this

time. Screw Pre-Filter support bracket onto the wall and attach filter.

NOTE: Ensure wall material is stable enough for mounting purposes. The filter

housing will become very heavy when full of water.

Properly connect system together accordingly (slip fittings, barbed fittings,

NSF certified PVC glue, etc.). Ensure all parts are flowing through the "IN"

port in the correct direction of water flow.

Remove Top Cap

1. Push down the top cap with both

hands to unseat the snap ring,

and remove the snap ring by

carefully grasping the handle and

pulling inward, then upward. The

snap ring should slide completely

out of the groove.

2. Remove the top tank snap ring. Remove the top cap from the housing

assembly. Pull the cap out of the top of the tank by lifting up on the handles.

Prepare Filter

1. Remove packaging from

the filter cartridge. Place

the filter cartridge into

the tank with the double

O-ring facing down.

Position the cartridge so

that it is aligned with the

bottom, center opening.

2. Press down on the cartridge so that the

double O-ring seal moves into place within

the bottom, center opening.

INSTALLATION STEPS

NOTE: You should see a

small opening centered in

the bottom of the tank.
