System Installation
1. Mount System
Determine mounting location
Warning: Before drilling mounting holes, locate any hidden electrical wires or plumbing behind the
mounting surface. Note adjacent equipment which may interfere with system fastening screws.
A. Fasten mounting bracket to mounting surface (screws not included).
Note: 2” (5 cm) free space underneath system required to change filter.
B. Remove the cap from cartridge. Inspect the cartridge for any damage.
C. Make sure the o-rings are present and positioned correctly in grooves. Moisten the o-rings with food
grade lubricant.
D. Connect the replacement cartridge to head/bracket assembly. Align tabs with head/bracket assembly
and push up until cartridge stops, then rotate 1/4 turn to the right to secure.
2. Cold Water Supply
Warning: Make sure cold water supply valve is turned off prior to installation.
The filter system's inlet connection is equipped with user-friends "quick-connect" push-in fittings, compatible
with 1/4" plastic or copper tubing. Figure 2.B shows how to use the quick connect fittings.
Note: A proper length of 1/4” copper or plastic tubing is required for installation (not included).
Installation must comply with existing state and local plumbing codes.
Note: Additional fittings may be required.
Note: Arrange tubing so that there are no sharp bends. Leave some “play” in the tubing for ease of
servicing, then cut tubing to the desired length. Shorter tubing lengths ensure better flow rates.
3. Connect System
A. Your filter system connects directly to the equipment
via 1/4” plastic or copper tubing. The filter system’s
inlet and outlet connections are equipped with user-
friendly “quick connect” push-in fittings. Refer to
Figure 2.B.
4. Test System
A. Open cold water supply valve.
B. The system will pressurize. Check for leaks. If any
leaks are present, refer to troubleshooting section.
5. Flush Filter
A. Make sure cold water supply is turned on.
B. Run water through the filter for 1 gallon (approximately
2 minutes) to remove any trapped air and carbon fines
or until water runs clear. Any air left in the system may
temporarily cause the water to be cloudy.
C. Your system is now ready for service.
