Determine whether you will connect the unit directly to the cold water supply line (under
sink) or to the faucet (see image).
Do not turn on the main water supply until all hoses are properly installed to the unit.
The unit and components are subject to change without prior notification in
order to enhance performance.
Many faucets vary in design, and your faucet may require different setup instruc-
tions than those featured in this manual. Please consult a qualified service profession-
al if you are unable to correctly complete the installation.
Shut off both the hot and cold water main supply at the pipe under the sink.
If your faucet features a screw-on style aerator, remove it by unscrewing it from
the tip of the faucet.
If the included faucet diverter does not fit directly to the tip of the faucet, select an
appropriate size connector and rubber washer (included).
When connecting the diverter or adapter to the faucet, be sure to use plumbing
pipe thread seal tape also known as plumbers tape or teflon tape (not included)
to prevent leaks.
If necessary, connect the faucet diverter with the appropriate connector to the faucet.
Be sure all connections are secure but do not overtighten them.

Purchase either an under-sink installation kit (not included) or purchase a
T-connection (with shut-off valve) from a hardware or plumbing supply store.
Shut off both the hot and the cold water main supply at the pipe under the sink.
Locate the cold water supply line valve.
Disconnect the faucet cold water supply line from the main cold water pipe. Use a
towel to catch the small amount of water that may come from the faucet supply line.
When connecting the T-connection to the cold water pipe, be sure to use
plumber’s tape or teflon tape (not included) to prevent leaks.
Reconnect the faucet’s cold water supply line to the T-connection (now secured
to the main cold water pipe).
Be sure all connections are secure but do not overtighten them.
