POLISHING CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION

The Polishing Cartridge contains carbon that will offer a finished 

taste to the drinking water. This is the last cartridge to filter the 

water before the water flows from the newly-installed Chrome 

Faucet.

WATER STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION

The Water Storage Tank included with your kit is more than meets 

the eye. Inside the tank is a bladder made of a butyl rubber 

designed for drinking water applications. Water will never touch 

the actual metal tank as it enters and leaves the tank. To learn more 

about the Tank, refer to the section on Unit Maintenance.

Step 2 – Choose a location that 

is easy to access for when the 

cartridge needs to be replaced 

and secure the two clips to the 

cabinet wall using the screws 

provided.

Step 1 – Apply three rounds of 

the plumbers tape to the nipple 

on the top end of the Water 

Storage Tank.

Step 2 – Thread the Pressure 

Tank Valve onto the ¼” nipple 

on the end of the Water Storage 

Tank and hand tighten.

Step 1 – Apply three rounds 

of the plumbers tape to the 

¼” MPT x ¼” Press Fit Adapters 

and then thread the Adapters 

into the ends of the Polishing 

Cartridge. Use an Adjustable 

Wrench to tighten. Use caution 

not to over-tighten the plastic.

NOTE:

 We recommend cutting the tubing with

a straight-edged razor blade or a tool designed
to cut flexible water line.

1.  Remove the blue clip

 

from the press fitting.

2.  Make sure the end

 

of the tubing is cut

 

evenly and not at

 

an angle.

3.  Push the tubing into

 

the fitting. You will hit

 

the first stop.

 

The tubing is still not

 

secured properly.

 

Push the tubing a

 

second time and you

 

will feel the tubing insert

 

completely into the

 

press fitting. 

4.  Pull back on the tubing

 

to ensure it is secure.

5.  Insert the locking

 

blue clip back onto

 

the end of the

 

press fitting.
