INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
•
proceeding with installation of system.
There must be a shut-off valve installed ahead of the system.

The cartridge filter and sump are factory and do not need to be
•
disassembled until replacement of the cartridge is required.
Installation
1. (A) Turn off cold water supply and open nearest faucet to release
pressure in pipes before starting installation. Place a tray or towels
under the cold water line to catch excess water (B) Select location
under sink where the system is to be mounted. Use cap with the
built-in mounting bracket as a template to mark screw locations.
Mount the system in marked location using mounting bracket screws.

2. (C) Disconnect the cold water line from the cold water supply valve
and cold water faucet connection. Install the supplied connectors to
the cold water supply valve and the cold water faucet connections.
3. (D) Determine the length of the plastic white tubing needed to
connect the cold water supply valve to the inlet (left) connection
of the system. Ensure tubing is free of kinks. Cut tubing to the
appropriate length. Place a mark 5/8" from both ends of the white
tubing. Wet the ends of the white tubing and push into connector
and into the inlet (left) connection of the systsem. The 5/8" marks
should be flush with the collar of the connector and the inlet
connection of the system.
4. (E) Determine the length of the plastic blue tubing needed to connect
the cold water supply valve to the outlet (right) connection of the
system. Ensure tubing is free of kinks. Cut tubing to the appropriate
length. Place a mark 5/8" from both ends of the blue tubing. Wet the
ends of the blue tubing and push into connector and into the outlet
(left) connection of the systsem. The 5/8" marks should be flush with
the collar of the connector and the inlet connection of the system.

PLACING THE SYSTEM INTO OPERATION

1. Slowly turn on the cold water supply valve.
2. Open faucet and flush filter for 3 minutes. Discard water.
3. Check for leaks at all fittings before leaving installation. If leaks
appear, see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine
black powder). If carbon fines appear in the water, discard water.
More flushing is required if carbon fines are present.
NOTE: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If cloudiness in
a glass of water disappears from the bottom; fine air bubbles are
present. This air within the water will disappear within a few weeks
after installation.
