Proper Installation
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.
Precautions:
For cold water use only.
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the Filter System be flushed thoroughly. Let water
run for 10 minutes before using.
The QuickTwist™ Filters used with this Filter System have a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being
filtered indicate that the filters should be replaced.
Before You Begin
n
Check under the sink to locate a solid wall surface to mount the Filter System.
NOTE: The Filter System must be mounted in a vertical position.
n
Locate the cold water pipe under your sink and observe if it is a flexible hose or a rigid pipe (ex: plastic, metal, copper). Rigid pipes
may require cutting in order to make adequate space to install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter (see Step 2). Also determine if you have
all appropriate tools, fasteners and adapters to fit your plumbing.
n
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.

This filter must be protected
from freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter
and water leakage.
NOTICE
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the head of the filter be replaced every ten years. If the head of the filter has been in use for
longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the top of any new head to indicate the next
recommended replacement date.

Safety glasses and a respirator are
recommended for this process, as it
may produce dust that can cause
severe irritation if it is inhaled or
comes in contact with eyes.
CAUTION
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain
or cast iron sink, the faucet must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop
next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make certain that the area below the drilling
location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sufficient room to make the proper
connections to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE
THAN 1" IN THICKNESS OR COUNTERTOPS MADE OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE OR SIMILAR
SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for assistance.
