Before installing
• Lay out system in appropriate conguration. Improper sequence
of equipment will aect performance and could possibly damage
your system.
• Pick an appropriate installation location. Dimensions of systems vary.
– Iron Filter System with Well Water Rhino:
54" x 57" (LxH)
– Iron Filter System with Salt-Free Conditioner + Well Water Rhino:
66" x 57" (LxH)
• Install housings at appropriate height for easy lter changes.
- Iron Filter System: 30" high
- Iron Filter System + Rhino Water Filter: 37.5" high
– If attaching to a Rhino Well Water system, it should be installed at a
minimum height of 37.5" to align inlets.
• For all installations: Anticipate the need for additional parts and pieces
including but not limited to pex tubing, clamps, and mounting screws
to install unit properly (available at a local home improvement stores or
through your plumbing contractor). Due to the varieties of home design,
not all congurations can be addressed in this guide.
• DO NOT install this lter where the line pressure may exceed 100 psi.
The operating pressure range for this lter is between 20psi – 100psi.
• Install on cold water lines only 40°– 90°F (4.4º – 32.2ºC).
• Installation of the ltration system must comply with existing state and
local plumbing codes. Aquasana and its manufacturer are not liable for
consequential or incidental damages due to improper installation.
• DO NOT install the unit on its side. It must be installed upright
to maximize contact with media bed.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 3
2USE & CARE4
Read all precautions and installation instructions carefully and completely
before installing.
Precautions
• Properly tighten all ttings to
ensure a leak-free assembly.
• NSF certied plumber's tape
(thread sealing tape) is the
only sealer that can be used on
threaded ttings. DO NOT use
pipe dope or PVC primer/glue
on threaded ttings. Exposure
to these compounds will damage
nipples causing leaks.
• DO NOT sweat ttings near lter
housings or any plastic parts.
• Piping and lter housings must
be properly supported with pipe
hangers.
• Unit must be installed in an area
where the main water line enters
your home, before connecting to
the water heater. DO NOT install
after a water heater or on the
hot water line.
• It is recommended your system
be installed indoors and out of
direct sunlight. Prolonged
exposure to light can weaken
plastic components, resulting
in lter housing failure. If this
is not possible and the system
is outdoors or in a sunny area,
the unit must be protected from
both direct sunlight and freezing
temperatures.
• If installing on metallic plumbing,
two grounding clamps and #4
copper wire are essential for
safety.
• Some local codes may require the use of
a licensed plumber or certied installer
when disrupting a potable water line.
• In areas with high pressure, a pressure
relief valve and a water hammer
arrestor may be necessary.
Cleaning
The exterior of your ltration system
can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
Rinse well with fresh, clean water.
Replacements
This lter system is designed and tested
for use with genuine Aquasana parts
including replacement lters and all
hardware. Use of parts from other
manufacturers may result in loss of
contaminant reduction performance,
system damage, or failure. Use of parts
from other manufacturers will also void
your warranty. Please visit aquasana.com
for replacement installation and parts.
A Pre-Filter and Iron Filter are included with
your system. Sediment levels vary from one
location to another. It is recommended to
replace your lters every 6 months. If the
ow rate has noticeably decreased, replace
your lters sooner.
Model: EQ-FE20
Iron Filter Replacement: EQ-FE20-R
Additional Replacements:

before installing.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Prior to installation on metallic plumbing, securely install two grounding clamps and a #4 copper wire
per installation instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electric shock.
4COPPER PIPES ONLY (proceed to Step 5 for PVC Pipes)
Cut Pipes
1. Using a pipe cutter, cut into the main water supply line along the
marked sections from step 2 to install the shut-o valve and clean ends
of pipe. Ensure there are no burrs, sharp edges, or deep scratches. Cut
tubing as straight as possible with a utility knife, or an appropriate pipe
cutter for copper tubing or PVC.
2. If you are installing a bypass loop, now is the time to plan accordingly
and install (recommended, not included).
3. Loosely t shut-o valve to calculate proper spacing of components.

NOTE: DO NOT cut more pipe than
necessary. You can cut more pipe
later if needed.

NOTE: The caps are marked with “IN” and “OUT” on the top of the housing.
NOTE: If you need to position the ow direction to the right or left, the
bracket will need to be turned 180 degrees.
NOTE: Ensure wall material is stable enough for mounting purposes. The
lter housing will become very heavy when full of water.
2. Using the provided screws, mount the brackets to the sump caps in
accordance with desired ow direction. Hand tighten, and then use an
Allen wrench to complete tightening.
3. Mount the brackets and caps to the wall using appropriate fasteners for
your wall material. Screws used to mount brackets to the wall are not
provided.
