CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and Use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 40°F (4.4°C);
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is
100°F (37.8°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa),
you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check
your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist, you must
install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this
condition.
• Any non-metallic fittings used in the installations must be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
• Do not use a torch or other high temperature sources near filter system, cartridges, plastic fittings or plastic
plumbing.
• On plastic fittings, never use pipe sealant or pipe dope. Use PTFE thread tape only, pipe dope properties may
deteriorate plastic.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if overtight-
ening occurs.
• Do not install in direct sunlight or outdoors.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount
the bracket.
• Mount filter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by other items used in the area of installation.
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system (Approx. 10.5 lbs [4.8 kg]) when
installed and full of water.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 12 months or at the rated capacity or if a noticeable
reduction in flow rate occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Failure to follow instructions may void warranty.
• Allow a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clear space under filter to facilitate cartridge change.
• Install with the inlet and outlet ports as labeled. Make sure not to reverse connections.
• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable
water line.
SF1XX Manifold and ScaleGARD™ HT Systems
SF1XX High Flow series water filtration systems combine chlorine taste and odor reduction with particulate
reduction, and help protect equipment from the potentially harmful effects of scale formation, even at application
temperatures to 200°F (93°C). The inlet water enters the manifold on the left rear side and exits through the scale-
inhibitor feeder on the right front side. The capacity of the system is equal to the flow rate and capacity rating for
the filter cartridges used.
Inlet and Outlet Connections
The water inlet is on the left rear side and the outlet is on the right front side. These are identified with labels. The
fitting size is 3/4” NPT (Male). A built-in check valve (non-return) is incorporated into the outlet.

• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or certified installer when disrupting a potable water line.
The SF1XX manifold may be used with metal or non-metallic piping systems.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Any non-metallic fittings used in the installations must be of adequate rating for the line pressure.
1. Shut off incoming cold water supply.
2. Select the installation location. IMPORTANT NOTE: Allow a minimum of 3 in (7.6 cm) of space below the car-
tridge for change-outs.
3. Select fasteners (not included) and tools appropriate for the installation location (wall, support structure mount-
ed to wall studs, concrete, etc.).
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:
• Ensure that the location and fasteners will support the weight of the system (Approx. 10.5 lbs [4.8 kg])
when installed and full of water.
4. Mount the manifold/filter system to a wall using the mounting holes provided on the back plate of the metal
bracket.
• It is recommended to first draw a level line on the mounting surface at the height of the fasteners.
• Mark the location of the fasteners using the bracket as a template or by measuring the distance between
the mounting holes.
• Install the fasteners and allow 1/4”-3/8” (6-10 mm) of each fastener to protrude from the surface.
• Install the manifold onto the fasteners.
• Tighten the fasteners.
5. Install inlet (left rear) and outlet fittings (right front). All connections terminate with a ¾” NPT (male) fitting. The
inlet kit includes the fitting and a ball valve. The kit for the right front side outlet includes the fitting, a stainless-
steel tee, a nipple, a check valve and another nipple. Refer to section “How to Use the Inlet/Outlet Fitting
Retention Clips” are on page 4. (PTFE tape is not included).
