Thank you for choosing AlwaysFresh™
Water the Way you Want It!™
Your AlwaysFresh Drinking Water System will provide delicious tasting,
crystal clear water directly from the selected tap... water that's great for
drinking, cooking, hot or cold beverages, rinsing fruits and vegetables,
and conveniently connects to your ice maker, instant hot tap, chiller or
built in coffee maker.
The HFC-1000 is certified for 1.5 gpm flow and currently the only
point of use drinking water system NSF/ ANSI standard 42/53
certified for Volatile Organic Chemical, and MTBE at this flow rate.
Most systems have to reduce the flow to 1/2 gpm to achieve similar per-
formance. Now you can enjoy high flow and chemical reduction with
one system!
High flow rates are convenient as well as efficient. Connecting the
system to the existing cold water supply to the sink eliminates the
need (most of the time) for a separate dispensing tap. When con-
nected to the existing cold water faucet in your kitchen or at your bath-
room sink, your family members are using filtered water for the
benefits of a more healthy lifestyle. The amount of filtered water used
for other purposes in the kitchen ie, dishwashing, hand washing is min-
imal and the design allows you to use the water freely and still main-
tain an annual cartridge maintenance interval for most homes.
AlwaysFresh uses exclusive carbon block technology:
Superior Chemical reduction and fine filtration are combined to
produce high quality drinking water with high flow rates. With the
surface area for adsorption and filtration of up to 3x the carbon
filtration area (of comparable size units) Alwaysfresh combines high
capacity, 1/2 micron fine filtration carbon block wrapped with a
5 micron prefilter, and as well as an silver zeolite technology for filter
protection & optimizing efficacy and longevity. It also includes a hard
water scale control system* that protects your water using appliances
that heat, chill or freeze water. Scale control will extend the life of these
water using appliances and the exclusive carbon block technology will
produce a superior quality of drinking water for your family.
All AlwaysFresh Drinking Water Systems must be maintained according
to the manufacturer's instructions, including timely replacement of the
filter cartridge.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or of unknown
quality, without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for cysts reduction may be used on disinfected waters
that may contain filterable cysts.
Check for compliance with state and local laws and regulations.
Note: Some states require installation by licensed installers, and some
states prohibit the use of saddle valves.
Note: Claims of capacity or rated service cycle are not applicable for
mechanical filtration units because of broad variations in quality and
quantity of particulate matter found in drinking water.
All of the contaminants and other substances reduced by your system are not necessarily
in your drinking water. However, the system can reduce chlorine taste and odors, as well
as cysts and other particulates 1/2 micron(1/50,000 of an inch) and larger.
HFC-1000 conforms to NSF/ANSI 53 FOR VOC reduction. See performance data sheet for
individual contaminant and reduction claims.
These systems must be maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions, includ-
ing replacement of cartridge.

For optimum performance cartridge replacement is required once
per year or sooner if the flow rate becomes too slow or if capacity
is reached whichever occurs first!

INSTALLATION OF YOUR SYSTEM
It is important that the installation be clean and sanitary. It is
recommended that all water contact parts, fittings, tubing, faucet,
etc. ... be immersed in disinfectant (a capful of laundry bleach per
gallon of water), at the start of the installation.
Most systems have the mounting bracket attached to the filter head
assembly to insure that the inlet and outlet fittings are always in the
same position. Reversing this mounting bracket could result in sys-
tem being installed backwards and thereby reduce its usable life.
These systems conform to NSF/ANSI 42
and 53 for specific performance as
verified and substantiated by test data:
