Step 4: Install Supply Fitting
Use the 2557 supply fitting if the water supply pipe under the sink attaches to a 3/8"
flex pipe from the kitchen faucet. If your piping is different or if you do not have a
shut-off valve under the sink, you can order Rainfresh CK538 or CKT38 valves
(depending upon your piping) directly from www.rainfreshstore.ca
IMPORTANT:
Before you install supply fitting, confirm the cold water pipe by running
hot water through your kitchen faucet and touching both pipes.
Now turn off the cold
water supply valve to
the kitchen faucet.
Step 5 : Start up
Remove wrapping from carbon cartridge (CF2) and carefully place it
into the sump (on the side of the inlet fitting – see page 8) with blue
gasket facing up. Align the sump under the filter head and pull the
cartridge up with one hand and push blue gasket over boss of white
head (see fig 9). Pull sump up and rotate to right 1/8 turn to align the
sump grooves with lugs on the head (2501) to lock position (Fig 10)

Now remove wrapping on the 1M ceramic cartridge and carefully place it into the sump with open end facing up.
Align the sump under the filter head and pull the cartridge up with one hand and push the cartridge seal into the
boss of white head (outlet side). Pull sump and lock into position (Fig 9). Note: Bottom of sump has alignment
guides to contain 1M cartridge. Sump will not lock unless bottom of cartridge is between guides.
Turn faucet handle on to ON position. Turn supply valve handle to open and start water flow.
Close faucet and check all connections for leaks. Carefully retighten any leaking fittings. Check the unit a few times over the
next day or two for slow leaks shortly after installation.
Using a wrench,
unscrew the faucet
tube from the supply
valve.
Thread in the 2557
supply adapter & then
