Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local requirements 6 HOW YOUR WATER FILTER WORKS Your NRV (non-regenerating valve) provides an economical whole-house carbon filtration solution for reducing chloramines, chlorine and other bad tastes and odors. The NRV TOCK and TOK models also reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) caused by sulphate reducing bacteria common in warmer climates These systems are complete, self-contained, loaded with media and ready to use. A simple inlet and outlet connecion is all that is required for installation. Please review operating pressures, temperatures and water chemistry limitations to ensure compatibility. FLOW RATE INFORMATION Peak flow rates are intended for intermittent use only (10 minutes or less) and are for residential applications only. Do not use peak flow rate for commercial applications or for a continuous rate when treated water supplies are geothermal heat pump, swimming pool, etc. NOTICE The life expectancy of the carbon media bed in these units will be reduced as compared to a back washing style carbon filter. The actual media bed life will vary depending on water consumption, chlorine/chloramines concentration and flow rate. Exceeding the peak flow rate will drastically reduce the life expectancy of the carbon media.

Also note damage to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit. Small parts, needed to install the filter, are in a parts box. To avoid loss of the small parts, keep them in the parts bag until you are ready to use them. What is included in the box? 1. Distribution Head 1. Distribution Head 2. Tank 3. Parts Box 4. Owners Manual 3. Parts Box 2X 1" NPT Straight Adapter Bypass Tool 2X 900 3/4" Elbow Adapter Grease Packet Bypass Screws and SS Clips NOTE Due to transportation and climatic conditions, all connections, including the valve to the tank, need to be checked at time of installation and hand tightened, where necessary. 8 NOTE Canature is NOT responsible for damages in transit. WARNING RISK OF CHOKING Discard all leftover parts and packaging materials after installation. Small parts could be a choking hazard. BEFORE INSTALLATION Make sure you have a copy of your most recent water test results. If your water has not been tested previously, your professional installer can obtain a water sample bottle to be sent to one of our facilities for a free analysis. It is important that this product not be installed until you have this information. In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe, or the Noryl bypass valve, an approved ground clamp with physical separation and no less than #6 copper conductor must be used for continuity, to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding. Fig. 1. 8QILOWHUHG:DWHU%\SDVV /RRS&XW &DSSHG *URXQG6WUDS5HTXLUHG%HFDXVH RI%UHDNLQ&RQWLQXLW\ )LOWHUHG:DWHU/LQHLQ+RPH WARNING If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed and/or the amount of copper pipe being replaced with plastic pipe. MECHANICAL See Figure 1. Do NOT use petroleum-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, oils or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only 100% silicone lubricants (packet #92360 provided in parts kit). All plastic connections should be hand tightened only. Thread tape may be used on connections that do not use an O-ring seal. Do NOT use pliers or pipe wrenches except when indicated by nut shape, e.g., pipe adapters. All plumbing must be completed according to local codes. Soldering connections should be done before connecting any plastic pieces to the pipe as excessive heat can damage them. Filter resins will degrade in the presence of chlorine or chloramines above one (1) ppm. If you have anything in excess of this amount, you will experience reduced life of the resin. Pre-carbon filtration may be required ahead of the water filter to reduce chlorine/chloramine levels TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION Two adjustable wrenches. Additional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required. Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To maintain full valve flow, use of ¾" or 1" [1.9 cm or 2.54 cm] pipes to and from the filter. You should maintain the same or larger pipe size as the water supply pipe to the filter inlet and outlet. Use copper, brass, or PEX pipes and fittings. Some codes may also allow PVC plastic pipe. 5/8" [15.8 mm] Outside Diameter drain line is needed for the valve drain. Drain line tubing may be needed for the optional brine tank overflow fitting. NOTE Use of a competent installer or plumbing professional to ensure this product is installed in accordance with local plumbing codes is recommended. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local requirements. 9 PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION WATER FILTER INSTALLATION LAYOUT Select the location for your filter tank with care. Various conditions that contribute to proper location include: 1. All installation procedures must conform to local or regional plumbing codes. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local requirements 2. Outside taps used to water lawns and gardens should be isolated from the water line required to supply untreated water to the inlet of the water filter a separate (new) line may be needed. 3. Where required by local plumbing codes, a check valve may need to be installed. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local requirements 4. Locate filter as close as possible to the water supply source. 5. Filters should be located before the water heater on the supply line. If closer than three (3) metres [10 feet], install a check valve in accordance with local plumbing codes. 6. Do NOT install a filter in a location where freezing temperatures occur. Freezing may cause permanent damage to this type of equipment and will void the factory warranty. Freezing could also result in flooding and / or property loss and damage. 7. Allow sufficient space around the unit for easy servicing. 8. Keep the filter out of direct sunlight. INSTALLATION STEPS TO BEGIN YOUR INSTALLATION: 1. Apply the supplied lubricant (#92360) to the O-rings of the bypass and plumbing fittings. 2. Using the bypass clips and screws provided in the small parts box, securely attach the bypass to the distribution head. 3. Apply thread tape to threaded connections on the straight or elbow plumbing adaptors 4. Connect the supplied straight or elbow plumbing adaptors to the bypass with red clips. 5. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water filter to the plumbing of the house. NOTICE Any solder joints near the distribution head must be done before connecting any piping to the distribution head. Failure to do this could cause damage to the distribution head. Failure to leave enough distance could cause damage to the distribution head. Always leave at least 6" [152 mm] between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the distribution head. 10 NOTICE Do NOT use pipe thread compound as it may attack the material in the distribution head. CLIPS INLET OUTLET NOTE Check local plumbing codes requirements for use of check valve(s), back-flow prevention, or vacuum breakers. Canature is not liable for any non-compliance with local requirements. INSTALLATION STEPS (CONTINUED) 6. If your hot water tank is electric, turn off the power to it to avoid damage to the element in the tank. 7. If you have a private well, turn the power off to the pump and then shut off the main water shut off valve. If you have municipal water, simply shut off the main valve. Go to the faucet, (preferably on the lowest floor of the house) turn on the cold water until all pressure is relieved and the flow of water stops. 8. The Inlet and Outlet should be as per below illustration, this will ensure that water will flow through the filter under upflow configuration. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6"(152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve. INLET OUTLET *NOTICE The Inlet and Outlet should be as per above illustration. This will ensure that water will flow through the filter in an upflow configuration. 9. Using the Allen Key (included), place the unit in the bypass position. Slowly turn on the main water supply. At the nearest cold treated water tap nearby remove the faucet screen, open the faucet and let water run a few minutes or until the system is free of any air or foreign material resulting from the plumbing work. 10. Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing system before proceeding. Close the water tap when water runs clean. 11. Turn the bypass valve to the closed position and allow the carbon media bed to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. After soaking, run the water again at the nearest faucet (ensure the aerator screen is removed) until all of the black carbon fines have been rinsed to the drain and the water runs clear. MANUAL WATER BYPASS In case of an emergency, or to perform maintenance, you can isolate water filter from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation the bypass is OPEN with the ON/OFF knobs in line with the INLET and OUTLET pipes, i.e., the black marks in the vertical position. See SERVICE above To isolate the filter, simply rotate the knobs as indicated to the CLOSE position until they lock. You can continue to use your water related fixtures as the water supply is bypassing the softener. However, the water you use will be untreated. To resume treated service, OPEN the bypass valve by rotating the knobs back to the SERVICE position.

Temporarily plug the open end at the top of the riser (distribution) tube with tape. Plug the Riser Tube 2. Ensure the bottom of the riser tube remains seated in the depression at the bottom of the tank. Fill tank one-quarter full with water to protect the distribution tube during gravel installation. The riser (distributor) remains inside the tank seated in the depression at the bottom MANDATORY Wear a Dust Mask. Airborne particles could pose potential health risks. 3. Fill the gravel support bed first. A large funnel makes filling the tank much easier. Order part #99003 separately for your own funnel. Slowly add the gravel. Depending on the type of system, add the resin, or media next. Media NOTE Support Bed Gravel If severe loss in water pressure is observed when the filter unit is initially placed in service, the filter tank may have been laid on its side during transit. If this occurs, backwash the filter to `reclassify' the media. 13 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE NOTE Before attempting any troubleshooting, be sure to test the water. The tests should include; 1. Raw water 2. Hot treated water 3. Cold treated water. PROBLEM DELIVERS UNTREATED WATER The bypass is closed, sending raw water past the unit. Bypass loop in the home's plumbing. DISCOLORED WATER Check with your local water authority to see if there if there has seen water main activity in your area. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE LOSS Peak or continuous service flow rate may be exceeding capacity causing the unit to be restrictive due to size. Return the bypass valve to the open position to service the home. See Manual Bypass. Close outlet valve only on filter bypass, open nearest softened water line. If no water flows, then there is not a bypass in the plumbing. If there is water flow, then there is a hidden bypass in the plumbing and you need to call the installer. If there has been, manually regenerate the unit a couple of times in a row to clear the color. If there hasn't been and main activity, contact your authorized installer. .1. Check unit specifications to ensure proper sizing for the application. 2. Degradation of carbon due to chlorine or chloramine. Replace the carbon bed. 14 WARRANTY NOTICE: THIS MANUAL CONTAINS A LIMITED WARRANTY.
