INSTALLATION CONTINUED
5. Connecting the Faucet to the System
A. Determine the length of plastic blue tubing needed to
connect to the outlet (right) side of the filter from the
faucet. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking
and cut the tubing squarely. Use a marker to mark one end
of the tubing 5/8" from the end (Figure 5). Wet the end of
the 3/8" tube and push into the outlet (right) connection of
the system up to the mark.
Do not bend or crimp tube inserting.
CAUTION
B. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected
properly.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
A. Determine the length of plastic white tubing needed
to connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with the feed
adapter installed on the cold water supply line. Be sure to
allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing
squarely. Place a mark 5/8" from one end of the tubing. Wet
the end of the tubing. Insert the end of the tubing into the
3/8" fitting of the inlet supply adapter. The 5/8" mark should
be flush with the collar of the fitting located on the inlet
supply adapter (Figure 6a).
B. Mark the remaining end of the tubing. Use a marker to
mark 5/8" from the end. Wet the end of the tube. Insert the
end into the feed connection on the inlet side (left) of the
system. The tube should go in up to the mark. (Figure 6b).
7. Placing the System into Operation
A. Slowly turn on the cold water supply. Ensure that the feed
adapter valve is also open.
B. Open faucet and flush filter for 10 minutes. Discard water.
C. 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.
INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.
