INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONTINUED
2.
Shut off the cold water to your faucet by turning the cold water valve under the
sink, clockwise.
3.
Turn on cold water faucet to release pressure and drain water until water stops.
Leave faucet open.
NOTE: If the filter is removed from the unit for any reason, filter must be re-
installed. An audible click ensures proper sealing of the filter.
4.
Place a tray or towel under the cold-water line to catch excess water. With
wrench, disconnect cold-water hose from cold-water line located near the water
shutoff valve (do NOT disconnect from the faucet).
5.
Connect system cold-water inlet hose (white) to the cold-water shutoff
valve. Ensure tight connection (typically five [5] turns).
6.
Connect cold-water outlet hose (blue) to the cold-water hose still connected to
the faucet. Use a supplied wrench to hold the current hose fitting while using the
second supplied wrench to tighten the fitting on the blue hose.
PLACING THE SYSTEM INTO OPERATION
7.
Wipe down system and area so it is dry, and to more easily identify potential
system leaks. Slowly open the water shutoff valve, by turning counter-clockwise,
while visually inspecting fitting tightness to ensure no leaks.
8.
Allow water to flow with faucet open completely for fifteen (15) minutes to
flush the filter.
NOTE: A drinking water filter may contain carbon fines (very fine black
particles). If carbon fines appear in the water, continue flushing until none
are present.
NOTE: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If cloudiness in glass of water
rises to the top, the cause is likely due to air in the water. The air (and cloudiness)
will disappear within a few weeks after installation.
9.
