  • Enables sequential filtration stages, such as sediment removal, chlorine reduction, and removal of specific contaminants like heavy metals or VOCs, enhancing overall water quality.
• Cost and Space Efficiency:
  • Eliminates the need for multiple separate housings, saving on equipment costs and installation space.
• Simplified Maintenance:
  • Fewer plumbing connections and components simplify filter changes and reduce potential leak points.
• Versatility:
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, including whole-house systems, commercial establishments, and industrial processes.
• Improved Water Quality:
  • When used with appropriate filter cartridges, it effectively reduces sediments, chlorine, organic compounds, heavy metals, and other contaminants.

Applications

• Residential Use:
  • Whole-house filtration systems requiring multi-stage filtration
  • Under-sink applications where space is limited but comprehensive filtration is desired
• Commercial and Industrial Use:
  • Restaurants, cafes, and hotels
  • Office buildings and facilities
  • Manufacturing processes requiring high-quality water
  • Laboratories and medical facilities
• Pre-Filtration:
  • Acts as a comprehensive pre-filter for reverse osmosis systems, water softeners, and other water treatment equipment

Installation Guidelines

1. Mounting:
   • Use the included heavy-duty bracket to securely mount the housing to a wall or sturdy surface.
   • Ensure the mounting location can support the filled weight of the housing.
2. Plumbing Connections:
   • Connect to the water supply using the 1-inch NPT inlet and outlet ports.
   • Install shut-off valves before and after the housing for easier maintenance.
   • Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
3. Filter Cartridge Installation:
   • Remove the housing sump using the provided wrench.
   • Insert the first filter cartridge (e.g., 5-micron sediment filter) into the first chamber.
   • Insert the second filter cartridge (e.g., activated carbon block) into the second chamber.
   • Insert the third filter cartridge (e.g., specialty media filter for heavy metals or VOCs) into the third chamber.
   • Lubricate the O-rings with food-grade silicone grease for a proper seal.
   • Reattach the sump to the housing cap, tightening securely.
4. System Start-Up:
   • Slowly turn on the water supply to allow the housing to fill gradually.
   • Open a downstream tap to purge air from the system.
   • Check for leaks and tighten connections if necessary.
