(Note: If your Hose has a
hex fitting on one end, it is recommended that
the end with the hex fitting be threaded onto
the Filter Base.)

6. Thread Swivel onto Shower Wand and then
secure Swivel on Filter Housing Post.

7. Prior to using for the first time, direct
Shower Wand into the drain and turn water
“ON”. Allow System to flush for at least
5 minutes or until water runs clear.
(fig. F)
This will remove any fine, black carbon
particles left over from the manufacturing
process, expel trapped air and condition
the Cartridge for normal use. (This water
may be used to water plants.)

IMPORTANT
Repeat flushing procedure each time a Cartridge is installed.
NOTE
Plumber’s tape is NOT RECOMMENDED for installation. The
Shower Filter Housing is designed to make a seal at the end
of the shower pipe, not on the threads. Using plumber’s tape
may prevent the shower pipe from fully seating on the Filter
Housing Gasket and increase the likelihood of leaks.
