Installation Instructions
4) Turn on the cold water faucet to (1) make sure you shut off the correct valve and (2)
that the shut off valve is functioning probably (actually shutting off the water). If cold
water still runs after shutting off the valve, check to make sure you shut off the correct
valve. If you are not sure which valve is the cold water supply, turn off both valves. If cold
water is still running, the shut off valve is defective and must be replaced. This requires
that water be shut off at the main water input to the house. DO NOT attempt to complete
this installation if cold water still runs after you have shut off the cold water supply valve.
5) Check to see what type of water line you have connecting the cold water shut off valve
to the cold water faucet. You probably will have one of two types: a copper line or steel
flex hose.
5A. COPPER LINE: If you have a copper line, it is highly recommended that you replace
it with a 30" flexible stainless steel hose that you can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes
for about $6.00. This will make the job much easier. Remove the line at both ends; at the
cold water shut off valve and at the faucet. Discard this line and replace it with the 30"
steel flex hose.
5B. Thread the female end of the diverter valve onto either the COLD water faucet stem or
the COLD water copper line running from the single handle faucet MAKE SURE the o-
ring stays in the female end of adapter. Tighten securely.
5C. Thread the 1/2" female end of the 30" steel flex hose onto the male threads of the
diverter valve. Tighten securely.
5D. Thread the 3/8" female end of the steel flex hose onto the cold water shut-off valve.
Tighten securely.
6A. STEEL FLEX HOSE: Disconnect the hose ONLY at the faucet (end). You will
reuse this hose.
6B. Thread the female end of the diverter valve onto either the COLD water faucet stem or
the COLD water copper line running from the single handle faucet. MAKE SURE the o-
ring stays in the female end of adapter. Tighten securely.
6C. Thread the 1/2" female threads on the disconnected end of the steel flex hose onto the
male threads of the diverter valve. Tighten securely.
7. Feed the 1/4" tubing connected to the IN quick connect connector on the bottom of the
Genesis down through the access hole.

8. Connect this tubing to the water adjust valve on the diverter valve. Tighten the nut securely
but NOT too much.
NOTE. Instead of adjusting the water flow to the Genesis using the faucet (standard
countertop installation option), you will adjust the water flow to the Genesis using the water
flow adjust valve attached to the water supply line diverter valve. After you have turned the
cold water shut off valve back on (AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS), adjust the water adjust
valve unit the water flow rate on the Genesis LCD displays reads between 2.0 and 2.5
liters/minute.
How to use your Genesis Platinum:
1) Turn the water on from either your cold water line or your faucet. Turn it up all the way.
Now, adjust the water flow with your faucet or cold water line diverter valve. Don't open the
valve all the way, usually half way is ideal.
2) Press the water "on" button on the front of the Genesis Platinum.
The first time you use your Genesis Platinum, it will run a cleaning cycle. The screen will turn
red and chimes will sound for about twenty seconds. Afterwards, the water will automatically
shut off.
3) While the cleaning cycle is running, look at the screen and locate the water flow in liters per
minute. Verify that the water flow is between 2.0 and 2.5 liters per minute. If it isn't, then adjust
the flow rate with your diverter valve, NOT with your faucet handle or cold water line knob.
If there is too much water pressure on the Genesis, no water will be released through the
machine until you turn it down. Also, if there is not enough water pressure (more than one liter
per minute), the Genesis will be unable to complete its cleaning cycle.
4) Now, choose the alkaline or acid water level that you want and press the water "on" button.
To turn the water off, press the water "off" button. Do not turn the water off with your faucet
handle or diverter valve until after you press the water "off" button. If you do, you will see an
error message called "check" and the icon of the wrench will blink, telling you that your
Genesis Platinum is stil on waiting for water to ionize, but you have shut off the water that it
needs. So, again, be sure that you turn the water on and off with the water "on" and "off"
button on the front of the Genesis Platinum. Then you can turn your tap off with your faucet
handle.
