1.0 Installation:
1.1 Selecting a position for the filter
The filter is designed to be free standing on flat surfaces, such as countertops. WARNING: For cold water only.
1.2 Installing the filter cartridge
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly and ensure that any open cuts are covered to prevent contamination of the filter cartridge and
housing. Separate the filter cap and housing by unscrewing the housing in a counter clockwise direction (when viewing from above).
Observe the housing O-ring. Remove the shrink wrap from the filter cartridge.
**PLACE THE FILTER WITH THE BLACK CARBON SIDE POINTING DOWN**
Place the center hole of the black carbon end of the filter cartridge into the housing cap (Please ignore the "This side up" text on this
end, which is intended for the undersink model). While making sure the O-ring is in place, screw the housing back on by turning it
in a clockwise direction. Hand tightening is typically enough, but you can use the housing wrench to turn it an additional 1/4 to 1/2
of a turn if necessary. Do not over tighten the housing, as this can make future cartridge replacements difficult.
1.3 Connecting the tubing and diverter valve to kitchen faucet
Remove the aerator from the kitchen faucet. If the faucet is left with a female thread, screw in the included male to male
thread adapter in place of the aerator, then screw the diverter valve into the adapter. The male to male adapter can
typically be hand tightened, but you can use a hex screwdriver or another available tool to tighten it further if needed. If
your faucet already has a male thread, simply screw the diverter valve directly onto the faucet. On the diverter valve,
remove the nut from the 1/4" knob and slip it onto the tubing. Then push the tubing onto the knob, and tighten the nut
down to create the seal.
