Living With Your Kube - Kinetico Kube Manual

Living With Your Kube

Kube is designed to provide you with crystal, clear and clean water right from your existing faucet. In
order to do this, there is a small reduction in water flow. This is normal; conserving water while ensuring
Kube maximizes its filtration capabilities.
Water Flow
1. Make sure you turned your cold water valve back on and make sure the by-pass knob is placed in
the service position.
2. After initially running cold water through your faucet for 5 minutes, some carbon particles may
have collected and plugged up your faucet's filter screen. Remove the filter screen and clear away
any particle build up. Replace the filter screen and try your faucet again.
3. Hydrant flushing might be taking place in your area which can cause debris in the water that
could potentially clog your Kube. If you have noticed debris in any of your other faucets, change
your Kube cartridges. Whenever you see signs for hydrant flushing, remember to put your Kube
in by-pass mode to protect your filters.
4. You may need to change your filters. If the indicator gauge is showing red, they need to be
changed. Or if you have used the same filters for more than 1 year, they need to be changed.
5. Certain water types contain high levels of solids, which can be seasonal. High solids may quickly
load on your Kube filters and reduce the flow of water from your faucet. Kube is doing its job and
keeping these contaminants out of your drinking water. Replacing your Kube filters will return
flow to the initial rates.
Putting Your Kube In Service - Using The By-Pass Knob
1. Make sure the filters are completely inserted and turned all the way until the cartridge cap
indicator points to the lock icon.
2. Check to make sure you are turning the knob in the right direction. Refer to the installation
instructions. Cartridges are locked into place by turning clockwise (to the right).
3. Check to make sure you have two cartridges installed. The knob will not turn without both filters
installed, correctly.
Things To Check
1. Make sure that you do not have any loose connections.
a. Adapters are leaking: Tighten adapters a little more and check again. Note: Over tightening
will damage the connector.
b. Elbow fittings are leaking: Make sure fittings are completely engaged. Make sure tubing
was cut straight. If you need to remove tubing and cut again, push collet against the fitting
and pull the tubing out at the same time.
2. Kube needs to sit on a flat and level surface to prevent water from spilling out of the bottom tray
after filter changes.
3. Make sure your bottom tray is not overflowing. Always remember to check your tray after filter
changes and every time you use your Kube's by-pass feature.
once completed, remember to empty the drip tray.
