NOTE:

 Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be maintained according to 

manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.

Troubleshooting

Leaks between cap and bottom of filter housing

1.

   Turn off water supply and press the red pressure-relief button. Remove bottom of 

housing. 

2.

   Clean O-ring and O-ring groove (located directly beneath threads of housing). Lubri-

cate O-ring with silicone grease and replace securely into groove. Screw bottom of 

housing onto cap and hand-tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

Leaks on inlet/outlet connections

1.

   Turn off water supply and turn on faucet to release pressure in pipes. Remove 

tubing from fitting (see #3 under Installation) and make sure end of tubing is cut 

squarely and free of burrs. Reinsert tubing into quick-connect fittings, making sure 

to push securely until tubing hits a hard stop. 

2.

   Turn on water supply. If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off 

water supply. Call Technical Support at 1-800-721-9243.

Performance Data

Model US-600

A

Important Notice: Read this performance data and compare the capabilities of this sys-

tem with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before installing 

a water treatment system, you have your water supply tested to determine your actual 

water treatment needs.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the reduction of the 

substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering 

the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit 

for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 and 53.
