Installation Instructions (continued):
CAUTION: The water supply to your unit MUST be from the COLD WATER LINE. Hot water will
severely damage your filtration system.
1. Turn off the cold water supply by turning off the shut off valve under the sink. If the cold
water line does not have a shut off valve under the sink, turn off the main water line in the
house. Place a tray or towel under the cold water line to catch the excess water.
2. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all the water to drain from the line. On a single
handle faucet, the hot water may have to be turned off to prevent any hot water cross
over.
3. Loosen nut and separate cold water braided flex line from the kitchen cold water faucet
shank. Attach Inlet Valve to the faucet shank using the Rubber Washer. Reinstall the
flex line onto the inlet valve and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Use Teflon tape on
all threaded connection points.
4. Insert
¼
” red tubing over the guide tube of the inlet valve. Tighten the compression nut
with an adjustable wrench.

The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience and appearance in
mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet to rest securely. Check the underside of
the location for interference. Most sinks have a pre-drilled 1
1/2
” or 1
3/8
” diameter holes designed
for spray hoses. The drinking water faucet may be installed using one of these holes, despite their
larger size. If the pre-drilled holes cannot be used, or are in an inconvenient location, it will be
necessary to drill a 1
¼
” hole in the sink or through the countertop next to the sink or the faucet.
