Page 3: What The Microbiological Drinking Water Purifier Will Do
What the Drinking Water Purifier Will Do The 4000 Nanotechnology Certified Under Counter Filtration System is a water purification treatment system. This system uses a triple filter design to reduce unwanted elements in your drinking water. Possible elements may include chlorine, lead, virus, bacteria, cysts, particulates and numerous organic compounds. The 4000 Nanotechnology Certified Under Counter Filtration System utilizes the patented Nano and other technologies in a systematic approach to ensure the water supply conforms to EPA Guide Standard for the removal of 99.9999% Bacteria, 99.99% Viruses, and 99.95% Cysts. The 4000 Nanotechnology Certified Under Counter Filtration System is designed to discontinue water flow when its capability to filter unwanted elements has been exhausted. This will help safeguard the consumer against contaminated water. Replace all filters every 12 months or 1000 gallons. NOTE: A performance data sheet is included and lists what elements will be reduced from the water supply. (Please note that not all elements may be present.) This data sheet lists the individual contaminants and microbial reduction performance. The drinking water purifier system is designed to fit under the kitchen or bathroom sink or any other area that is suitable. A COLD water supply pipe is required within a few feet. If water supply pipe is farther than what the tube will reach, you can purchase longer lengths of tubing from your local home improvement center. NOTE: Make sure the tubing is acceptable for use on potable water supplies. Before You Start v In order to receive all of the benefits of your microbiological drinking water purifier, be sure to read all steps in this guide carefully and follow steps exactly. v This system is intended for use with municipal and/or well-supplied water only. It is not intended for use with surface water such as from a lake or runoff. v Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamination source, such as contamination by raw sewage. v Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts. v System is not intended to convert wastewater or raw sewage into drinking water. v Installation and plumbing should comply with all local laws and regulations. Consult with your licensed plumber. NOTE: In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 shall be adhered to. v The microbiological drinking water purifier works on water pressure of 30 psig (minimum) to 100 psig (maximum). If your house water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply pipe to the filter system. v Do not install the microbiological drinking water purifier outside, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

Page 4: Parts Of The System
Parts of the System ● Filter system with filter cartridges ● Installation hardware (mounting screws, saddle valve, flow restrictor, fittings) ● 1/4-inch (6.35mm) tubing ● Lead-free faucet Materials and Tools Needed Note: Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. Safety glasses • Hand or electric drill (cordless recommended) • File or sandpaper • Phillips Head screwdriver • 2 adjustable wrenches • Tube cutters or utility knife • **If sink does not have hole for separate faucet: Center punch • 3/4-inch (19mm) drill bit • Masking tape • IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures in porcelain, granite, or stainless steel. Installation Instructions NOTE: A squeaking sound when tightening a compression nut is normal. NOTE: If fittings are removed, Teflon® tape must be used for pipe threaded connections. NOTE: Be sure to wear safety glasses when using a drill. System is designed for standard under-sink installation on 3/8”-inch (10mm) cold water line. • Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps. -
Page 5: Step 2 - Selecting The Faucet Location
Installation Instructions Step 2 – Selecting the Faucet Location NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet fits through a 3/4-inch (19mm) hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-inch (35 or 38mm) diameter holes that may be used for faucet. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or tools from falling down drain. b) Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent scratches if drill bit slips. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures in porcelain, granite, or stainless steel. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4-inch (6mm) drill bit for a pilot hole, then, using a 3/4-inch (13mm) drill bit or hole saw, drill a hole completely through the sink. Smooth rough edges with a file. Step 3 – Mounting the Faucet Remove wing nut (C) and metal washer (B) from the threaded shaft of the faucet. Leave the black rubber washer (A) on the threaded shaft. b) Slide the threaded shaft of the faucet into drilled hole. From under the sink, slide the metal washer on and thread on the wing nut. Tighten wing nut by hand until tight. It may be necessary to have a second person hold the faucet while tightening the wing nut. d) Install the faucet spout into the base by pushing firmly into hole in base then screw fitting cover hand tight. Caution: Do not over-tighten the wing nut. Hand tighten only. Do not use pliers or wrench to tighten. Step 4 – Mounting the system Center system between water supply adapter and drinking water faucet. NOTE: Allow 1.5 inches (38mm) clearance below system to enable filter cartridge changes. NOTE: In the following step, leave enough space (approximately 1/2-inch (13mm)) between the head of the screw and the wall to easily slip system into place. b) Install mounting screws at least 15-inches (380mm) from cabinet floor and 9 1/4-inches (235mm) apart. Place system over screws on wall and slide sideways. Tighten screws. Caution: Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to prevent possible damage from falling. -
Page 6: Step 6 - Attaching Tube
Installation Instructions Step 6 – Attaching Tube to Effective Life Indicator (ELI) Determine the length of tubing needed from the faucet to the ELI. A slight sag in the line will allow for some ease in installation. Cut the tubing to required length. b) Insert other end of tubing firmly into the outlet port (John Guest® fitting) of the ELI until fully engaged. Pull tube gently to ensure the tubing is fully seated. Caution : Tube must be fully inserted in the compression fitting base on the outlet stem of the ELI. Step 7 – Connecting the Saddle Valve Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with the saddle valve. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely. Slide brass compression nut onto tubing, followed by plastic ferrule. The long tapered end of the ferrule should face towards the end of the tubing. Place insert into tubing. b) Insert tubing into saddle valve and hand-tighten compression nut. Using a wrench, tighten nut 1 to 1 ½ turns. NOTE: All nuts must be retightened when the system reaches projected operating temperature. Step 8 – Connecting Inlet Line to System Insert other end of tubing firmly into inlet port (John Guest® fitting) until fully engaged. b) Pull tube gently to ensure the tubing is fully seated. Step 9 – Setting the Effective Life Indicator NOTE: The effective life indicator is the white dial located on the center of the mounting bracket. Each black mark on the dial represents 100 gallons (378.5 L). Move the dial clockwise so that the black indicator arrow lines up with the 1100 gallon (4,164 L) mark. Important: Set flow meter to 1100 gallons after each new filter replacement. NOTE: To prevent indicator malfunctions, only move the dial when the system is depressurized. NOTE: Based on the settings sensitivity of the Effective Life Indicator (ELI), user should set the ELI to 1,100 gallons to assure a 1,000 gallon cycle. -
Page 7: Filter Cartridges
Filter Cartridges Filter Cartridge Life It is recommended to r eplace filter cartridges every 12 months or 1,000 gallons of use. However, your water quality can lead to circumstances such as diminished water flow, visible sediment, or unwanted taste and/or odor in your water, requiring the cartridges be replaced sooner. NOTE: Based on the settings sensitivity of the Effective Life Indicator (ELI), user should set the ELI to 1,100 gallons to assure a 1,000 gallon cycle. There are several variables that determine how long a cartridge will last. -
Page 8: Troubleshooting The System
Correction: Turn off water supply and turn on drinking water faucet to release pressure in system. Remove tubing from fitting and make sure end of tubing is cut squarely and free of burrs. Reinsert tubing into fitting, making sure to push tubing to a hard stop. Hand-tighten compression nut first, then tighten 1 to 1 1/2 turns for new compression nut. Tighten only 1/2 to 1 turn with wrench for previously tightened compression nut. NOTE: If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks in system, turn off water supply. Problem: Leaks on faucet / tubing connection Correction: Turn off water supply and turn on drinking water faucet to release pressure in system. Loosen and remove compression nut fitting on faucet stem. Make sure tubing is inserted firmly into end of faucet stem, then retighten compression nut with fingers until secure. Turn on saddle valve, and then turn off faucet to check for leaks. NOTE: If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks in system, turn off water supply. Problem: No water or decreased water flow. Correction: Check flow at faucet. The 4000 Nanotechnology Certified Under Counter Filtration System system should fill a gallon jug in approximately 2 minutes. Flow rates will vary with individual household water pressure. Correction: Check filter cartridge installation. Make certain all filter cartridges are properly oriented in filter housings. Correction: Replace filter cartridges. Parts List ITEM# QTY PART# DESCRIPTION ITEM# QTY PART# DESCRIPTION 4002991 MTG BRACKET, 3 HOUSING WHITE... -
