: Faucet Installation
(Faucet installation parts not shown)
1.
Drill
a 3/4” hole into the counter top where the Smart Faucet will be inserted.
2.
Thread the faucet power cord into the 3/4” hole and insert the faucet stem into the hole.
9.
Thread the faucet power cord through its plastic spacer under the counter to ensure that
the cord is not pinched against the counter when the faucet is fastened into place, making
sure that the
spacer’s O
-ring seal is facing up to seal against the counter.
3.
Add the plastic threaded fastener to the faucet stem and tighten the fastener against the
spacer to secure the faucet into place. Make sure that the faucet is positioned properly
as required before tightening the fastener.
4.
To connect the ¼” water line to the faucet stem,
slip the hex nut onto the tube, followed
by the plastic ferrule and plastic tube support. Press the tube end and ferrule to the
bottom of the faucet stem and tighten the hex nut by hand, then tighten the nut with a
wrench while being careful not to over-tighten.

Final Installation Steps
1.
Once the UV device is connected to the faucet with PEX tubing, allow water to flow
through the system for a few seconds.
2.
Plug the faucet power cord into its Jack on the UV device.
3.
Once the faucet power cord is connected to the UV device, connect the 12V DC power
source
or
AC power inverter to the UV Chamber Unit Power Jack.
4.
Activate the cold-water pressure in the plumbing system.
5.
Turn on the faucet. (When water is flowing, the blue light on the device will come on
steady which indicates the water purification is in progress
as seen in the “UV Indicator
Light” figure)
6.
Keep the faucet on to flush the system for 2 minutes of air pockets and any loose carbon
granules from the carbon filter, or until the water flows smoothly without granules.
7.
Once flushed, turn off the faucet and the device will automatically go into standby mode.
8.
At this point, the device is ready for regular use.
