The filter cartridge will notpurify water or make unsafe water safe to drink.DO NOT use on HOT water (100°F max).• Protect the Kitchen and Bath Main FaucetFiltration System and piping from freezing. Waterfreezing in the system will damage it.• Your Kitchen and Bath Main Faucet FiltrationSystem will withstand up to 100 psi waterpressure. If your house water supply pressure ishigher than 100 psi during the day (it may reachhigher levels at night), install a pressure reducingvalve before the system is installed.• Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water supply to the Kitchen and Bath MainFaucet Filtration System must be between theminimum of 34°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the Performance Data section.• Do not install the Kitchen and Bath Main FaucetFiltration System using copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering process will damage the unit. WARNING — Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small partsremaining after installation could be a choke hazard. • Do not install filter in an outside location oranywhere it will be exposed to sunlight.System is Tested and Certified by NSF Internationalagainst NSF/ANSIStandard 42 for the reduction ofChlorine, Taste and Odor and Particulates Class I andagainst CSA B483.1.Drill with 1/8” Drill BitHOT COLD

Select a location for the system that is:

• Protected from freezing.

• Not exposed to direct sunlight. Select and mark a location under the sink that allows access for a filter cartridge change. See Section 4. The system can be mounted vertically or horizontally. DO NOT MOUNT THE SYSTEM UPSIDE DOWN.

DISCONNECT COLD WATER SUPPLY

Remove items from under the sink. Place a bucket and some towels under the sink to collect any water that may run out when disconnecting the water supply lines. Turn off the cold water supply valve and remove the existing water supply tubing and fittings. NOTE: For copper tubing, leave the 3/8” compression fitting on the faucet stem. Go to Step 3, Option B.

TO REPLACE FILTER: Push filter into the filter head/bracket. Turn filter 1/4 turn to the right until it stops. The top surface of the filter will be flush with the bottom of the filter head/bracket when fully installed. NOTE: When correctly installed, the label will face out. Turn on the cold water faucet to flush the filter for 5 minutes to remove air. Change the batteries in the timer. NOTE: Remove the water in the line to minimize the water released during filter cartridge replacement. Turn off the cold water supplyvalve and turn on the faucet for 5 seconds.

Shut-Off ValveFerruleHex nutTubing insertINSTALL TUBING Push the tubing firmly into the collet on the faucet adapter fitting until the pencil mark is pushed next to the collet. (If the tubing is removed, recut the end, measure, mark and reinsert.) Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks. To remove tubing: Depress and hold the white collet; pull the tubing out to remove. Pull out slightly on the tubing to ensure a good seal. Press the other end of the tubing into the outlet side of the filter.

Installation Instructions

Determine the length of tubing necessary from the filter head/bracket to the faucet and from the water supply line to the filter head/bracket by holding the tubing in place to ensure it is the correct length. NOTE: 6 feet of tubing is supplied. Cut the tubing into two sections according to your requirements. Cut tubing. NOTE: Do not kink tubing. NOTE: Check the end of the tubing to make sure there are no cuts, nicks, flat s pots or sharp edges. If any of these are present, cut the end of the tube with a utility knife. Measure 3/4” from the end of the tubing provided and mark with a pencil.

Using the filter head/bracket as a guide, mark hole locations so that there is 1” between the center of each screw. Fasten the filter head/bracket to the wall with the Phillips screws provided with the unit. NOTE: Predrill 1/8” holes for easier installation. Make sure to leave at least 2-1/2” from the bottom of the system to allow for easy replacement of the filter cartridge. Install screws only halfway so you can slip the bracket onto the wall during installation. NOTE: There are three installation configurations.Select the appropriate screws for installation: For Cabinet Side Wall Installations, use 1” screws; For Drywall into Stud Installations, use 1-1/4” screws; For Drywall with No Stud Installations, use lag bolts. CAUTION:Be sure screw point does not protrude through the wall into adjacent cabinet. Tighten screws to secure the bracket.

INSTALL FAUCET ADAPTER

Install the 3/8” x 1/2” faucet adapter to the faucet threads. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Option A – Typical Installation Option B – Optional Installation If you have copper tubing with a compression adapter, you will NOT use the 1/2” faucet adapter. Use a section of tubing, slide the compression hex nut and 3/8

ferrule (tapered end away from the compression nut) onto the tubing, and put in the tubing insert.

Fasten the assembly onto the cold water supply valve. Do not overtighten. NOTE: Overtightening will cause the tubing to separate from the fitting. NOTE: For shut-off valves with 1/2” or 7/16” compression fittings, please use appropriate adapters provided in the kit. Connect the other end to the inlet side as indicated by the arrow on the filter head/bracket.
