Step 1 · Plan and Prepare
First, select a suitable location for the filter system. It should be on the main water line just after the main shutoff valve and water meter, but before the water heater. Ensure there is enough vertical and horizontal space to comfortably work and to allow for future filter changes (you'll need at least 6 inches of clearance below the filter housing to unscrew the sump). Gather all your tools and materials. Unpack the whole-house filter kit and lay out all the parts, including the filter housing, mounting bracket, and any included hardware. Perform a 'dry fit' by holding the assembly in the proposed location to visualize the final installation and confirm measurements.
