Water Leaks at Push-In Connections:
Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the original valve and remove water line by
pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. Inspect tubing for cracks and scratches. If tubing is
cracked for scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert tubing into push-in fitting.
Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut.
Water Does Not Flow From The Drinking Water System Faucet:
Check to see if the main water line valve is open, allowing water to flow to the filter.
Water Appears Cloudy or Air Comes Out of the Drinking Water System Faucet:
Flush filter for a full five (5) minutes to remove any carbon fines or trapped air in the filter and water lines.
FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Close shut-off valve before (inlet) filter head.
2. Grasp cartridge securely and rotate clockwise. If water line has not been fully depressurized, a small discharge of
water may occur. Gently pull cartridge straight out and discard.
3. Align tabs of new filter cartridge with existing filter head and insert new filter cartridge into head. Turn until car-
tridge stops.
4. Open the inlet shut-off valve and flush new cartridge for five minutes. Due to air, water can be cloudy but will
quickly clear.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
DRILLING HOLE THROUGH
PORCELAIN/ENAMEL/CERAMIC SINKS
Drilling Hole through Porcelain/Enamel/Ceramic Sinks with Sheet Metal or Case Iron Base
Recommended Tools:
•
Variable Speed Drill
•
Porcelain Cutter Tool Set (9/16" Size)
•
Plumber’s Putty
Note:
It is important to understand this procedure.
1. The glassy layer of porcelain/enamel/ceramic must be scored through to the metal base, creating a disk.
2. This disk must be removed while protecting the surrounding decorative coating against chipping or fracturing.
3. The base metal must be drilled through to complete the hole.
Procedure:
1. Mark center for 9/16" hole.
2. Form a dam of shallow putty around hole location and fill with enough water to lubricate carbide drill bit.
3. Carefully drill pilot hole through porcelain/enamel/ceramic and base metal using a carbide pilot drill. Always oper-
ate drill with light pressure at slow speed (300-400 rpm).
4. Drill porcelain/enamel/ceramic using special 9/16" cutting tool, making certain a complete ring has been cut
through to the sink’s metal base.
5. Change to metal cutting drill bit and drill out the center of the ring, making sure not to contact other rim of decora-
tive coating. Cut through metal sink base.
