3 Congratulations! Thank you for choosing the B. David Company BDC-6000BB Certifi ed Nanotechnology Whole House Purifi cation System. This system is certifi ed to NSF standards P-231 (bacteria, cyst, virus), NSF/ANSI 42 (particulate class 3) and NSF/ANSI 53 (cyst). The BDC-6000BB Certifi ed Nanotechnology Whole House Purifi cation System is designed to treat water for the whole house – shower, bath, laundry, and kitchen. This system incorporates various media with Nanotechnology to microbiologically treat your water. This is a green system as no electricity is required, there is no water waste, and chemicals are not utilized. The BDC-6000BB treats water with a four-stage process. First, a sediment fi lter removes dirt, debris, and other sediment down to 10 microns in size. The second stage cartridge (purifi cation) reduces cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia, bacteria and viruses by mechanical and electrostatic means. The third stage fi lter treats Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), contaminants, and chlorine utilizing a proprietary carbon blend. This stage also polishes the water removing taste and odor issues. The fourth and fi nal stage uses a patented electrostatic media that also removes bacteria, viruses and cysts. The fl ow meter provides a simple method for recording water usage and assists in determining the need for cartridge replacement. Do not use this system with microbiologically unsafe water. • Reduces chlorine taste and odor and chloramines • Reduces dirt, rust, and other particulates • Removes bacteria, cysts and viruses • Eff ectively reduces Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs), including Trihalomethanes (THMs) • No electricity or chemicals are required • No water wastage Before You Start • In order to receive all of the benefi ts of your microbiological drinking water purifi er, be sure to read all steps in this guide carefully and follow steps exactly. • This system is intended for use with municipal and/or well-supplied water only.

Because of possible damage when dealing with highly pressurized water, a professional should install this system. 2. This system was assembled for water fl ow from the left to right. Water should always fl ow through the following fi lters: 6001 fi rst, 6002 second, 6003 third, and fi nally the 6004 cartridge. B. Before You Begin – Wash your hands thoroughly 1. There is a master shut-off valve installed in your plumbing line. Most often it is located near the point where the water enters the building. Use this master valve to shut off the water fl ow to the entire building prior to installation. 2. The plastic heads of the BDC-6000BB water purifi cation system housings are tapped in to the “National Pipe Thread” (NPT). Clean the connecting pipes of all oils before assembly. Do not over-tighten the pipe into the plastic head or use heat in the vicinity of this system. # 6002 COUPLER 1” to 1” METER 1” to 1” COUPLER 1” to 1” # 6003 # 6004 FLOW RESTRICTOR # 6001 FILTER WHITE FITTING BALL VALVE 1” BLACK FITTING BLACK FITTING WHITE FITTING MOUNTING BRACKET CLAMP

C. System Installation 1. This system is designed to treat cold water, therefore it must be installed before any heating equipment or installed directly into the cold-water line. 2. Select a location which allows the BDC-6000BB system to be in a vertical position with a mini- mum of 6 inches (15 cm) unobstructed clearance below the cartridge housings to allow cartridges to be changed in the future. This system requires about 6 – 8 inches (15 cm – 20.3 cm) horizontally from the single stage bracket and housing to the three-stage bracket and housings. The blue tubing provided will be inserted into the outlet side of the single stage housing and the inlet side of the three-stage housings. 3. Once proper location and height have been determined, remove fi lter housings and cartridges to make it easier to mount the bracket on the wall. 4. Before attaching the brackets to the wall, thread one black fi tting to the left-hand (inlet) side of the three-stage bracket and housings. Then thread the fi rst coupler to the outlet side of the 3-stage bracket. Thread the fl ow meter to the coupler. An arrow on the fl ow meter provides the correct fl ow direction. Thread the second coupler on the right-hand (outlet) side of the fl ow meter. Lastly, thread the fl ow restrictor onto the open coupler. Again, an arrow on the fl ow restrictor provides the correct fl ow direction. 5. Thread and tighten white fi ttings to each side of the shut-off ball valve. Once the single mounting bracket is placed over each opening of the single stage housing, thread the shut off ball valve on the left-hand side of the single housing and bracket. Thread the fi rst black fi tting on the right-hand (outlet) side of the single housing and bracket. Thread the fi rst black fi tting on the right-hand (outlet) side of the single housing and bracket.

6. Slide each (two) clamps over the blue tubing. Insert the blue tubing over each black fi tting. Slide one clamp over one end of the blue tubing which is over the black fi tting. Tighten as neces- sary. Repeat this process for the other end of the blue tube that is over the black fi tting. 7. Mount the system to the wall using the wall anchors and screws provided for each specifi c bracket. Be sure that the system is NOT supported by any existing pipes. Also, be sure that each bracket is securely anchored to the wall as the system is very heavy when fi lled with water during operation.

Before installing a new cartridge, wash the inside of the housing with a mixture of bleach and water. Rinse with clean water. Place cartridge in housing as shown in the image. Ensure the gaskets on both ends of the cartridge and the O-ring around the housing(s) are seated properly. Carefully screw housing into fi lter head attached to the bracket. Note: Ensure cartridges are properly seated before tightening with the provided wrench. DO NOT FORCE. To ensure the bottom gasket remains in place, follow these steps: A. Place new cartridge on fi rm surface. B. Ensure gasket is in place on both ends. C. Lower housing down onto cartridge. D. Hold the cartridge in place and turn the housing and cartridge 180 degrees. E. Check to make sure gasket is in place at the top of the cartridge as shown and O-ring is in the groove.

A. Shut off the water supply - using the ball valve connected to the left-hand (inlet) side of the single stage housing. B. Release pressure – prior to attempting to re- move the fi lter housing, the pressure will need to be released. Push red pressure release but- tons on each housing to release the pressure. C. Removing cartridges – using the wrench provided, unscrew the appropriate housings containing the cartridge(s) that you wish to replace. This can be done by turning the car- tridge housing counter clock-wise until loose. Unscrew the cartridge housing carefully as it will be fi lled with water and quite heavy. Re- move and discard the exhausted cartridge. D. When removing the cartridge housing, it is common for the O-ring seal to lift out of the groove and, at times, may even stick to the head of the fi lter housing. Do not lose the rubber O-ring seal. E. Check the runner O-ring for nicks and use a replacement if necessary. Rub VaselineTM onto the O-ring and place back onto the housing. Do not wipe off residual VaselineTM . Ensure O-ring is well seated into groove. F. For convenience, the single stage brack- et and housing containing the sediment fi lter (stage one - 6001) can be bypassed individ- ually. The valve lists options to “bypass” and “fi lter.” Turn the valve clockwise to bypass the water fl ow. Press the red pressure release in the middle of the valve. Follow steps C. – E. for replacement. Ensure that you twist the valve counter-clockwise after the sediment fi lter has been replaced. Failure to do so will diminish the system’s function and the following fi lters’ lifespan.

A. To fl ush the down-line plumbing, complete the following steps: A. Install all cartridges. B. Slowly turn the water back on at the ball valve on the left-hand (inlet) side of the single stage housing. Check for leaks. C. Open the down line faucets one at a time, and let the water run for a minimum of four (4) minutes per faucet. S T O R A G E For brief periods of non-use (days), fl ush the entire system thoroughly (4 – 5 minutes) before and after periods of storage and before drawing water for consumption. Do not allow the system to freeze. Water contained within the system will expand and damage the system and its capacity to purify any water. For longer periods of non-use (weeks or months), the following steps must be taken: A. Empty water from the entire system. B. Remove cartridges from their housings. C. Clean cartridge housings thoroughly. D. Clean and air-dry exterior of the cartridges. E. Record activity in a service log. F. Place cartridges in clean plastic bags once dry. G. Remember to replace all cartridges in the proper order and fl ush the system for 5 – 7 minutes when reactivating the system.

Wash hands thoroughly before beginning. A. Close the inlet shut-off valve. Relieve the system pressure by turning on a faucet. Once the pressure is relieved, depress the pressure relief buttons at the top of each housing to ensure there is no pressure in the system. B. Unscrew the appropriate housing that contains the cartridge that needs replacing using the provided wrench. When opening the housings, it is common for the O-ring to lift out of the groove, and at times, stick to the housing head. Do not misplace the rubber O-ring. C. Remove the exhausted cartridge and discard. D. Clean the interior of the housing: 1. Rinse out and fi ll approximately 1/3 full of water. 2. Add two caps full of 5% household bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite) and scrub with a brush or a sponge. If bleach is not available, wash thoroughly with soap and warm water. 3. Rinse thoroughly. E. Insert new cartridge to housing. F. Lubricate the O-ring seal with a thin coat of petroleum jelly (Vaseline TM). Do not wipe the O-ring clean of lubricant. This prevents the O-ring from “crawling” when tightening the housing to the head. G. Place the O-ring in the groove of the housing and press it down completely – all the way around the housing. H. Each time a cartridge is changed, the plumbing should be fl ushed again. To fl ush the down-line plumbing review “Flushing the system” steps on page 10.
