INSTALLATION TIPS
- The system can be operated freestanding, lying horizonally or mounted vertically.
- If mounting vertically to a wall, securely connect the mounting backet to the wall using suitable screws.
- Water pressure at the filter system inlet must not exceed 8 bar (116 psi). A pressure reducer valve must be installed on the water supply side of the filter system if the inlet pressure exceeds 8 bar (116 psi).
- Shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the filter.
- Refer to Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual for cartridge flushing and startup.
OPERATION TIPS
- Change Claris N Cartridge when its precalculated water volume has been reached or at least once per year.
- Change cartridges when capacity is reached.
- Always flush the filter cartridge at time of installation and cartridge change.
- Do not use hardness test strips to check for hardness reduction. Please use the Claris Titration Kit to check for hardness reduction.
