Installation Precautions
Do NOT install system on line pressure above 125 psi.
Do NOT install system on HOT water line. Failure to limit line temperature to 100°F may result in housing failure
and damage.
Do NOT install the system backwards with the feed water line connected to the outlet.
Do NOT use liquid pipe compounds for fitting connections. USE a maximum of two to three wraps of teflon tape.
Do NOT solder plumbing connections attached to filter housing or inlet valve. Inlet valve and filter housing will
be damaged by high temperature.
Do NOT allow system to freeze. Turn off water supply to housing and drain housing if temperature falls below 32°F.
Do NOT install system in direct sunlight or where system is exposed to harsh chemicals or may be subjected to
being struck by moving equipment, carts, mops or any other item that may cause damage.
ALLOW a minimum of 3" under the housing to allow for filter replacement.
IF water hammer is evident, install water hammer arrestors before ASXlOO System.
Do NOT overtighten fitting connections into inlet valve or housing outlet.
Always back-up valves and fittings with a wrench when installing a fitting to avoid turning the valve.
Do NOT install the unit behind equipment where it may be difficult to access the system for filter replacement.
Position the ASXlOO System in a suitable location downstream from existing filters. The direction of flow through the
System is always left to right; keep this in mind when determining installation location. Do NOT mount the System
near any source of heat. Also, do not mount the System above any device or area that would be adversely affected by
water.
Installation Procedure (See Installation Drawings for Detail)
1. Turn off all equipment to be fed by the ASXlOO System, locate water supply cut-off valve and turn off.
2. Determine if water line has an existing water treatment system. If so, examine system for use of poly
phosphate or other scale inhibitors. The ASXlOO system will not be effective if used in conjrmction with
other scale inhibitors. Remove the scale inhibitors from the water hne or discontinue installation.
v3. Install a 1/2" fuU-flow ball valve on the water supply side that will feed the water system.
4. Anchor the ASXlOO System on a wall stud or suitable mounting material spanning wall studs. System
must be upright and vertical.
.5. Run a suitable line from the 1/2" fuU-flow baU valve at the tap water source to the inlet ball valve on
the left side of the ASXlOO system. Use 2-3 wraps of teflon tape and brace the inlet baU valve on the
system with a wrench when connecting the feed water line.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CON­
NECTION FITTING INTO BALL VALVE.
6. Select the appropriate size tubing for the equipment being fed and cormect it to the outlet of the ASX­
lOO System. NOTE; DO NOT connect the tubing to the equipment at this time. Prior to making con­
nection to the equipment this line wiU be used to facUitate flushing the system. As an option, a drain
valve in a tee on the outlet side of the ASXlOO system could be provided in the line to facUitate
flushing when changing filters.
7. With System inlet valve closed, slowly open the 1/2" fuU-flow ball valve at the tap water source.
Check for leaks.
8. If a drain valve was not instaUed on the outlet side of the system, hold the tubing that will connect to
equipment in a clean bucket or over sink or drain. Open the system inlet feed valve and allow water
to flush through system for five minutes at the specified system flow rate to aUow air and any carbon
fines to escape.
NOTE: NO ACTIVATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE ASXlOO SYSTEM TO PERFORM
PROPERLY. FLUSHING IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW AIR TO ESCAPE THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO CON
NECTING TO EQUIPMENT.
9. Make certain that tlie end of the tubing to be connected to the equipment is clean and sanitized.
