TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Water Leaks at Push-In Connections:

Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the cold water supply valve

and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. Inspect

tubing for cracks and scratches. If tubing is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away and

reinsert tubing into push-in fitting.

Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut correctly.  Please refer to Figure 4.

If water leaks, please verify that the o-rings are properly seated in their grooves.

Water Does Not Flow From The Faucet:

Check to see if the main water line valve is open, allowing water to flow to the filter. Make

sure the connections are not reversed.

Water Appears Cloudy or Air Comes Out of the Faucet:

Flush 5 gallons through system before use (approximately 2 minutes).

1. Place towel under filter to collect any residual water during replacement filter change-out.
2. Grasp filter and turn to the left (counterclockwise) until filter comes to a complete stop (water

automatically turns off).  Water may leak momentarily from vent tube. This is normal. Gently pull filter

downward to remove.

3. Remove sanitary protective cap from new replacement filter.
4. Ensure both o-rings are present on the replacement filter and are seated into grooves; moisten

o-rings with water.  DO NOT use any petroleum products to lubricate the o-rings.

5. Insert replacement filter into filter head assembly.  Turn replacement filter one quarter turn to the right

(clockwise) until it stops.  When fully engaged, the top surface of the filter will be flush with the bottom

of the filter head assembly. (See Figure 6)

6. Open faucet and run water for a minimum of 5 gallons (approximately 2 minutes). While system is

flushing, check for leaks.  Repair any leaks as needed before continuing.

7. Close filter system faucet.  System is now under pressure and can be inspected for leaks. Repair any

leaks as needed before continuing. The system is now ready for use.
