Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of the PURLOGIX PL1100-0001 sediment filter:

1. Safety First: Turn off the water supply to the water cooler or filtration system before beginning installation. Relieve any existing water pressure by opening a nearby faucet.
2. Identify Flow Direction: Locate the 'IN' and 'OUT' markings on the filter. Ensure the filter is installed with the correct water flow direction. Water should enter the 'IN' port and exit the 'OUT' port.
3. Connect the Filter: Connect the inlet side of the filter (marked 'IN') to the incoming water line and the outlet side (marked 'OUT') to the water cooler or subsequent filtration stage. Use appropriate fittings and ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
4. Flush the Filter: Before connecting to the water cooler, slowly turn on the water supply and allow water to flow through the new filter into a bucket for approximately 5 minutes. This flushes out any carbon fines or air from the filter.
5. Check for Leaks: After flushing and connecting to the water cooler, slowly turn on the water supply completely. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed.
6. Restore Power: If the water cooler was unplugged, restore power.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the PURLOGIX PL1100-0001 sediment filter operates automatically as water flows through your system. It is designed to reduce dirt and sand particles from your water supply, providing cleaner water for your water cooler.

• The filter functions passively, requiring no user interaction during normal operation.
• Monitor water flow. A noticeable decrease in water flow may indicate that the filter is becoming clogged and requires replacement.

Maintenance

Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining water quality and system performance.

Filter Replacement

The PURLOGIX PL1100-0001 sediment filter should be replaced periodically. Replacement frequency depends on water quality and usage, but a general guideline is every 3 to 6 months. Replace the filter sooner if you notice a significant drop in water pressure or a decline in water quality.

1. Turn Off Water Supply: Shut off the water supply to the filter and relieve pressure by opening a downstream faucet.
2. Disconnect Old Filter: Disconnect the old filter from the water lines. Be prepared for some water spillage.
3. Dispose of Old Filter: Dispose of the used filter according to local regulations.
4. Install New Filter: Follow the 'Setup and Installation' steps for installing the new filter.
