1. Producte acabatview

The iSpring WGB12B is a 1-stage whole house water filtration system designed to provide clean, filtered water throughout your home. This system effectively reduces up to 99% of chlorine, as well as sediments, rust, pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, VOCs, and various other contaminants from your water supply. It is particularly effective for city water with low sediment levels. The system features a 20" x 4.5" carbon block filter made from high-quality coconut shell carbon, ensuring maximum filtration efficiency and extended filter life. It is tested by an independent third-party to meet NSF/ANSI standards.

Please note: This system does not reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and retains healthy minerals in your water. For TDS removal, consider an iSpring Reverse Osmosis (RO) system.

5. Instal·lació

5.1. Preparació

• Carefully read the entire user manual before installation.
• Ensure all parts are included and you have all necessary tools.
• Determine the appropriate inlet/outlet port size for your plumbing (WGB12B uses 1" female NPT threads).
• Plan your installation location, ensuring sufficient space for filter changes and maintenance.

• Turn off the main water supply to your home and open the nearest faucet to drain water from the pipes and release pressure.

Applying Plumber's Tape:

Plumber's tape (thread seal tape) is crucial for preventing leaks at threaded connections. Ensure threads are clean and free from debris. Test the fitting size before applying tape.

• Apply 6-8 wraps of tape in a clockwise direction around the threads.
• Press the tape down firmly into the threads.
• Add another 6-8 wraps and press down again. For 1-inch fittings, 12-15 wraps are recommended.
• Ensure the tape edges are neat and will not come loose.
