FILTER AS REQUIRED.
If installing the system for the first time skip to step 3.
1. Remove the filter canisters from the manifold by
rotating the canisters to the left about 1/3 turn.
NOTE: A small amount of water from the tubing
between the filter and the faucet may come out. A
small towel should be able to catch it.

5. Allow the system to run for 11 gallons (or 10
minutes) to flush out any harmless carbon fines
that may be present.
