BELOW COUNTER INSTALLATION
PREPARATION FOR THE FAUCET
OR DISPENSING DEVICE
This installation uses a separate, counter-
mounted
eSpring
®
Faucet or any NON-
eSpring
single line faucet or dispensing device. With the
eSpring
Water Purifier below the counter, these
installations allow maximum use of counter
space, with no visible tubing.
Cold water plumbing must be modified to provide
a 3/8” (9.5 mm) Outer Diameter (O.D.) x ¼”
(6.4 mm) Inner Diameter (I.D.) tubing (plastic
or metal) for connection to an auxiliary faucet or
dispensing device (Fig. 17).
NOTE: You will need an electrical outlet to plug in
the Power Adapter. If you need to install a new
outlet, it must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician according to Federal,
Provincial, State, Municipal and local laws. This outlet must be powered continuously
for the Water Purifier to function properly. In case of a power outage, see p. 8.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.
Hire a plumber if you do not feel comfortable modifying the plumbing and
installing the faucet.
2.
Determine
type and size tubing or piping needed between the cold water
supply line and the kitchen faucet.
Take
a digital picture of your cold water
supply plumbing to use as a guide in the hardware store to purchase the
appropriate parts for installation.
3. Install a tee in cold water supply and a separate shut-off valve to the tee
before connection of an Auxiliary Faucet or dispensing device. This will allow
for rinsing and cleaning of the Water Purifier during cartridge changes.
a. All fittings and valves must be approved for use in pressurized drinking
water applications.
b. Purchase plastic ferrules when connecting plastic tubes to metal
compression fittings (which come with metal ferrules for connection to
metal pipe).
4.
Select
a location for the faucet or dispensing device. There may already be
an extra, capped hole in your sink’s ledge for a sprayer, soap dispenser or
extra faucet that can be used for mounting the faucet. If you are removing
the connected sprayer, it will need to be sealed properly. (See local plumbing
store for assistance.)
a. For
eSpring
Faucet: If a new hole is needed, it must be between 1¼”
(32mm) and 1½” (38mm) in diameter, less than 3 15/16” (100 mm)
from the sink basin and at least 1¼” (32mm) from the wall. Before
drilling, make sure there is sufficient clearance below the sink or
countertop to accommodate the faucet and allow connections to be made
to the
eSpring
Water Purifier.
b. For NON-
eSpring
faucet or dispensing device: Follow manufacturer’s use
instructions.
NOTE: For solid countertops, it is recommended to use a very sharp bi-blade hole
saw and start by making a pilot hole. If you have a porcelain/ceramic sink or a tile
countertop, it is recommended to seek professional assistance for proper drilling.
WARNING:
Due to the possibility of shock or electrocution, use extreme care
when operating an electric power drill or other power tools around the sink. Avoid
contact with water or moisture at all times.

4.
Lay
each tube from the Diverter on the diagram. Use a pen to
mark
a line
across them at the arrows.
Push
tubing supports into their respective tubes,
until they are flush with the end of the tubes (Fig. 13).
5.
Insert
each tube into the proper locations
on the Bracket until you meet the marks or
the marks disappear (Fig. 14).
NOTE: You will feel resistance before the tube is
fully installed.
6. The Diverter controls the flow of water
according to the position of
the pin.
a) Pin
pulled out
- Treated water (Fig.
15A).
b) Pin
pushed in
- Untreated water
(Fig. 15B).
7.
Turn on
cold water faucet and
pull out
the Diverter pin.
NOTE: It will take a short time for water
to saturate the Cartridge and flow from
the Diverter. Flush for a minimum of
5 U.S. gallons (20 liters) (approximately
5-15 minutes) to remove air pockets and
carbon dust. If water is not clear,
see Troubleshooting, p. 8.
8.
Check
for any signs of leakage at
the Diverter and at all tubing
connections (Fig 16). If there is
leaking or bubbling, refer to
Troubleshooting, p. 7.
NOTE: During use periodically
check system for leaks.
9.
Turn off
the water and
push
in
the pin, after each use.
