INTRODUCTION
Your Rainfresh TWIST Dual Drinking Water System uses a premium dual-stage filtering process,
providing cleaner, safer, better tasting drinking water for your family. It reduces lead, VOC
(volatile organic compounds), cysts, chloramines, chlorine, bad tastes and odours
(see performance data sheet for details)*. The system is designed for installation under the
kitchen sink and includes a ceramic-disc faucet for dispensing filtered water.
*Contaminants reduced by this system are not necessarily in your water.
A fridge connection kit is included with the QS2K system in case you choose to also have
filtered water from your water-dispensing fridge and for your ice cubes.
The “Twist ON/Twist OFF” design makes cartridge replacement quick and easy, using no tools
and without having to shut off the water.
Both cartridges should be replaced after 250 gallons (946 liters) or 4 months*
*
. The system
features a unique electronic monitor (QS2 & QS2K only) that tracks both the gallons used and
time in service and triggers a blinking orange LED when either of these limits is reached
advising you to replace the cartridge.
*
*
Note: Cartridge life is directly dependant on water conditions and volume of water filtered. Excessive sediment may cause more frequent replacement.
