System Maintenance

It is important to change filters at the recommended interval indicated in this manual. Many contaminants are not detectable by taste. In addition, other bad tastes and odors may become apparent over time if filters are not replaced.

When replacing any of the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further questions, please call our retail customer service at (888) 321-0500.

Operational Parameters

NOTICE
Installation must comply with state and local plumbing regulations. Call customer service if you need assistance with technical details.

NOTICE
Water Operating Pressure: The operating water pressure in your home should be tested over a 24-hour period to attain the maximum pressure. If the incoming water pressure is above 85psi, a pressure regulator is recommended and if over 100psi, then a pressure regulator is required.

Installation Precautions

NOTICE

• System is intended to be installed on the cold water line ONLY. Do not use hot water supply
• Do not install if your water lines are susceptible to water hammer
• System to be used with municipal or well water sources properly treated and tested on regular basis in insure suitable and non-adverse water conditions, including bacteriological safe quality.
• Filter housing must be protected against freezing temperatures, frost, snow, sleet and ice. Exposure to these elements can damage the housing and lead to water damage.
• This product has a limited service life. We recommend that a record be kept regarding the date of install and any other performance maintenance. Because of the products' limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that the head be replaced every ten years.
• Turn off water supply to head and remove the cartridge if it must be left unattended for an extended period of time.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run 5 - 6 minutes before using
• The filter recommended for use with this system carries a limited service life. Changes in taste, odors, color and/or flow of the water being filtered indicates that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and regulations.
• If you have anything other than flexible hose under your sink, check to see if you need to purchase special fittings prior to starting install.

Recommended Tools For Installation

Kitchen Faucet Adapter Connection

Water supply line to the system must be from the cold water supply line only. Hot water will severely damage your system.

Step 1 - Turn off the cold water supply to the faucet by turning the angle stop valve completely off.

Step 2 - Open cold water sink faucet to relieve pressure.

Step 3 - Place a small container under the cold water angle stop valve to catch any runoff water. Disconnect the cold water faucet supply hose from the cold water angle stop valve.

Step 4 - Hand-tighten the kitchen faucet adapter to the cold water angle stop valve as shown. Next hand-tighten the lower end of the cold water line onto the top of the kitchen faucet adapter.

Cartridge Installation

Step 1 - Line up arrow on cartridge with unlocked position on head, insert cartridge and turn to locked position.

System Module Mounting

Step 1 - Mount the system to one side of the cabinet allowing 2" of clearance below the filter for easy filter removal and replacement.

Step 2 - Using the mounting bracket, mark with a pencil the holes for the mounting screws on the wall surface.

Step 3 - Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill pilot holes for the mounting screws. Insert mounting screws into the wall with a screwdriver leaving approximately 3/8" of each mounting screw exposed and hang system head on the mounting holes of the bracket.

Inlet and Outlet Tube Connection - Filtration System

Step 1 - Determine two different lengths of 3/8" tubing needed to connect the system head inlet and outlet to the kitchen faucet adapter (reference image for inlet and for outlet locations and directions on the right for cutting and installing the tubing). Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking in the line.

Step 2 - Wet one end of the 3/8" plastic tubing with water and push it into the inlet side of the system head approximately 5/8" until it stops. Connect the other end of the tubing to the inlet side of the kitchen faucet adapter. Refer to QuickConnect instructions on the right for more detail.

Step 3 - Repeat same process with outlet side.

Using Quick-Connect Fittings

Cutting

Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score marks, and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting.

Connecting

Make certain to push the tubing completely into the connector until it comes into contact with the internal tubing stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. The system must be tested prior to leaving the site and/or before use.

Disconnecting

To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing the tube. Push in collet squarely against the face of the fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be reused.

System Start Up

Step 1 - Turn on water supply at cold water angle stop. Turn cold water faucet handle to the open position to start the flow of water through the unit. Run 20 gallons of water through the unit in order to flush out the normal black carbon fines (it will "sputter" until the air is purged out) from the unit. A container with a known volume can be filled to determine how much water has flushed through the system. Initially, the water may appear cloudy which is due to tiny air bubbles and it will clear up shortly. Close the faucet when finished.

Step 2 - Check for leaks. If you have any leaks, shut off the water supply to your system, tighten any fittings then turn the supply back on.

NOTICE
Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present

Troubleshooting

LEAKS BETWEEN THE SYSTEM HEAD ASSEMBLY AND THE FILTERS:

1. Turn off water supply to the filter and turn on the cold water from kitchen faucet until water and airflow stops.
2. Remove cartridge and inspect O-rings to make sure they are in place and clean.
3. Re-install cartridge, turn on water supply and check for leaks.

LEAKS AROUND THE FITTINGS:

1. Turn off water supply to the filter and turn on the cold water from kitchen faucet until water and airflow stops.
2. While pulling the 3/8" plastic tubing with one hand, press in on the collar around the inlet and/or outlet fitting. Check to make sure that the 3/8" plastic tubing is cut squarely and that it is not scratched or crimped. If the 3/8" plastic tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, cut off 1/2" to 5/8" and re-install tubing.
3. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

LEAKS ON THE KITCHEN FAUCET ADAPTER CONNECTION:

1. Turn off water supply to the filter and turn on the cold water from kitchen faucet until water and airflow stops.
2. Locate the kitchen faucet adapter.

• If the 3/8" plastic tubing is leaking, follow the previous steps ("Leaks around the fittings").
• If the thread between the kitchen faucet adapter and cold water line is leaking, tighten more securely. If leaking continues, apply plumbers tape to threads and re-tighten.

3. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off water supply. Contact Customer Service or Technical Support Team at (888) 321-0500.
