4. Setup & Instalasi

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Waterdrop scale inhibitor system. It is recommended to install this system on a cold water supply line that feeds a water heater or other appliances you wish to protect.

4.1. Daptar pariksa Pra-Pasang

  • Ensure you have all components: 3/4" NPT inlet/outlet connection, replacement cartridge.
  • Gather necessary tools: pipe wrench, Teflon tape, pipe cutter (if modifying existing pipes).
  • Pareuman suplai cai utama ka bumi anjeun.
  • Drain water from the pipes by opening a faucet at the lowest point in your home.

  2. Potong Pipa: Carefully cut a section of the cold water supply line where you intend to install the T-fitting. Ensure the cut is clean and straight.
  3. Pasangkeun pita Teflon: Apply several wraps (approximately 10-12) of Teflon tape to the threaded ends of the pipes and the T-fitting to ensure a watertight seal. This is crucial to prevent leaks.
  4. Install the T-Fitting: Connect the 3/4" NPT T-fitting adapter into the cut section of the pipe. Ensure it is securely tightened. The vertical port of the T-fitting should point downwards.
  5. Pasang Kartrid Filter: Screw the Waterdrop WD-W65 replacement cartridge into the downward-facing port of the T-fitting. Hand-tighten until snug, then use a filter wrench if necessary, but do not overtighten.
  6. Mulangkeun suplai cai: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tape, and re-tighten the connections.
  7. Siram Sistim: Open a nearby cold water faucet and let the water run for approximately 5-10 minutes to flush out any air or loose polyphosphate particles from the system.

It highlights the easy installation and replacement, high-quality materials, and strong, steady flow.

5. Operasi

The Waterdrop scale inhibitor operates passively once installed. A portion of the source water flows through the filter, absorbing food-grade polyphosphates which then circulate throughout your plumbing system to inhibit scale formation.

  • The 3/4" NPT inlet/outlet ensures a high flow rate of 10 GPM, maintaining stable water pressure throughout your home.
  • The system does not significantly restrict water flow, ensuring consistent water delivery to all your fixtures and appliances.
