THE MULTIPURE AQUASOURCE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED
PLUMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE PLUMBING CODE.
The following are guidelines for installing the Multipure Aquasource to the main water
supply line for the whole house. If you have questions regarding the installation of your
Multipure Aquasource Whole House Water Treatment System, please contact your
plumber and/or call Multipure Customer Service by phone at 1.800.622.9206 or by email
at [email protected].
Prepare the Multipure Aquasource for Installation
1. Turn each of the 8 I-bolts counter-clockwise to loosen (use a screwdriver, pliers, or other
tool for leverage, if necessary). Pull the I-bolts up and away from the housing lid, and
then turn them so that each I-bolt rests against the side of the housing bottom.
2. Carefully lift the housing lid up off of the housing bottom and set aside.
3. Turn the nut on the retention plate counter-clockwise to remove. Carefully remove the
filter retention plate and set both the plate and the nut aside.
4. Remove the plastic wrapping and instruction wrap from all 3 filter cartridges.
5. Inspect each filter cartridge to make sure that all three have two (2) black O-rings
properly seated in grooves on the nipple, and one (1) white gasket seated at the base
of the filter nipple.
6. Install each filter cartridge inside the system housing, one at a time:
a. Insert each filter cartridge, nipple-side down, into one of the 3 receptor holes located
inside the bottom of the Multipure Aquasource housing.
b. Make sure that all 3 cartridges are fully inserted, and that the white gasket around
the filter cartridge nipple is in complete contact with the receptor hole.
NOTE: All 3 filter cartridges must be used for proper function of the Multipure Aquasource.
Failure to properly insert all 3 filter cartridges may result in water bypassing the filters
and passing through the Multipure Aquasource unfiltered.
7. Align the filter retention plate so that the connecting rod fits through the center hole of
the plate. Place the retention plate nut over the connecting rod and rotate clockwise
to securely tighten the retention plate over the 3 filter cartridges.
8. Inspect the flat opening surface at the top of the housing bottom. Make sure that the
silicone gasket there is undamaged and properly seated in the recessed groove.
9. Carefully place the housing lid on top of the housing bottom. Secure with the 8 I-bolts,
turning each clockwise to tighten.
10. Connect the pressure gauge on top of the housing lid, rotating it clockwise into the
threaded receptor. Use Teflon tape to ensure a proper seal.
