CAUTION:
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we
strongly recommend that the bottom of all plastic
housings be replaced every five years for clear and
every ten years for opaque. If the bottom of your
housing has been in use for longer than this period, it
should be replaced immediately. Date the bottom of
any new or replacement housing to indicate the next
recommended replacement date.

• Utility knife
(for plastic tubing)
• Tape measure
• Pipe cutter or hacksaw
(copper tubing only)
• T-flush valve (Recommended
only when used with an
icemaker) See Diagram below.
This valve is installed after
the filter, so it can be flushed
to remove carbon fines or
release pressure before
removing cartridge
To water dispenser/icemaker
To drain
Provide an air gap between end
of tube and drain to prevent
contamination
T-flush valve is recommended
only when this unit is used with an
icemaker.
NOTES
• For cold water use only.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
• An activated carbon cartridge (Taste/Odor) will contain a small
amount of carbon fines (i.e. very fine black powder). A new
cartridge, after installation, should
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local
laws and regulations.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
the selected cartridge are not necessarily in your water. Ask
your local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or
have your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation)
it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let
water run for 2-3 minutes before using.
• The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being
filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
INSTALLATION
• Spent adsorption media will not be regenerated
and used.
• If adsorption media is affected by chlorine, water supply should
be treated to remove chlorine prior to entering filter.
• For standard installation on 1/4-inch copper, plastic or flexible
hose cold water line.
• Please read all instructions and precautions before installing
and using your Quick Change Refrigerator and Icemaker
Filtration System.
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.
• Instructions refer to standard installation on existing water line to
refrigerator. Before installation, make sure there is enough slack
in existing water line to allow refrigerator to be moved out from
the wall.
1. Mounting the Filter System
A. Turn off the cold water supply to the refrigerator and
dispense the water from the refrigerator door until water
flow stops to release the pressure in the pipes before
starting installation. Place a tray or towels under the cold
water line to catch the excess water after the pipes are cut.
B. Before starting installation, turn off the icemaker in the
refrigerator and store the ice cubes in a clean container in
the freezer.
C. Select location under sink, in basement or near refrigerator
where filter is to be mounted.
NOTE: Filter should not be more than 3 feet from
the appliance.
NOTE: Allow 1 1/2 " (38 mm) clearance below housing or 11 " below
filter head to enable filter cartridge changes.
CAUTION:
Filter head should be mounted on stud or firm
surface. The mounting bracket will support the weight of the
filter and help prevent strain on the cold water line.
WARNING:
DO NOT screw mounting bracket directly onto the
refrigerator.
D. Filter head should be mounted in vertical position. Use
mounting bracket as a template to mark screw locations.
Mount filter head in marked location using screws.
