IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT "TDS METERS" AND TESTERS

Q) When I use a Total Dissolved Particle (TDS) reader to test my water after it goes through the Pearl water filtration system, why don't the levels of dissolved particles go down or decrease? I don't think the product is working.

The Pearl water filter system is not designed to remove beneficial minerals from your drinking water. These minerals that occur naturally are a healthy part of your drinking water and should remain. The Brondell Pearl water filter is designed to dramatically reduce water-soluble harmful contaminants, including industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, turbidity, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), and microorganisms, most of which cannot be "read" with a TDS reader.

Since these harmful components are water-soluble, they cannot be picked up by a simple TDS meter. Contrary to its name (Total Dissolved Solids or TDS Meter), these inexpensive products cannot detect most harmful water-soluble contaminants. There is a major misconception that low TDS readings mean healthy water and that is simply not always true.

The best method for testing the performance of a water filtration device is to have a nationally recognized independent organization, such as WQA (Water Quality Association) or NSF International, test and certify the products. The certified data is then available in a Performance Data Sheet, which you should request from the manufacturer. For more clarification of what the Pearl water filtration systems does remove from your water, please see our Certified Performance Data Sheets on pages 13-14.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the instruction guide for proper installation

Tips

If faucet has threads on the interior (after removing the aerator/faucet spout tip) you will need to use one of the provided faucet diverter adapters during installation.

1. Unscrew original aerator (faucet spout tip) from your water faucet.
2. Connect the faucet diverter to water faucet by hand tightening using any adapters as needed. If needed, use a wrench (spanner) or pliers, but be careful not to over tighten. Use 2 faucet diverter adapters (included) as needed for proper connection.
3. Connect the inlet hose to the inlet connection under the base. Then connect the other end of the hose to the faucet diverter.
4. Connect the supplied nozzle spout to outlet hole. Be sure to push in all the way.
5. Make sure the unit is placed securely on a flat surface and ensure the diverter is in the closed position to avoid spills.
6. Turn on faucet with cold water, turn diverter to open position and check all connections. Let water run through filter for 5 minutes to flush and activate filter.

DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

Tips for using the Brondell H2O+ Water Filtration system

1. After installing the product

Flush and activate filter by running cold water for 5 minutes and be sure to check all connections for any leaking.

2. When not in use for prolonged periods

If water has been sitting in filter for a long time without use, run cold water for 5 minutes to flush prior to use.

3. Regularly replace filter – at least once every six months

It's important to replace the filter on a regular basis. Replace when the filter change indicator on the top shows more than half red when in use or within 6 months from last filter change, whichever comes first. To help manage when to change filter write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen. If the filter is overused beyond its recommended service life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not miss the filter replacement cycle.

Tips

When not in use for a long time, close the main water supply valve under sink at wall and disconnect the unit.

HOW TO USE

1. Turn on faucet and turn diverter switch to the open position.

2. Filtered water will be supplied from nozzle instantly.

3. To use faucet normally just turn the diverter to the closed position.

4. Remember to close diverter after each use.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Caution

1. Water filtration device installation location

Do not install the water filtration system on an uneven surface, in a damp area or an area where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Water filtration device installation location

Please install unit so that it is 4 inches or more from the wall(s) and the base is flat and firm.

3. After installing the water filtration system

Flush and activate filter by running cold water for 5 minutes.

4. Run only cold water

If you run hot water, the filter may become damaged. If hot water has accidentally been run through the filter, we recommend replacing it.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

Filter

The Brondell carbon block filter is critical to the performance of the H2O+ water filtration system and it's important to replace the filter on a regular basis. If the filter is overused beyond its recommended service life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not miss the filter replacement cycle or use non-compatible filters as this can affect system performance or damage the unit.

* To help manage when to change filter write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen.

Filter replacement cycle

The Brondell carbon block filter should be replaced when the filter change indicator on the top shows more than half red when in use or within 6 months from last filter change, whichever comes first. The filter replacement lifecycle may depend on the incoming water supply quality and poor quality water can shorten the regular replacement lifecycle.

* The period for the filter exchange is made based on 0.84 Gallons use per household per day.

Part No. Names of Filter Usable Period

About filter replacement cycle

The filter replacement cycle described above is not the filter quality warranty period but the expected cycle (life) that the filter will continue to perform at the original performance level.

* The filter replacement cycle may be reduced for areas with poor water quality or greater use.

FILTER REPLACEMENT METHOD

1. Turn diverter switch to the closed position.

Diagram of a mechanical device with a curved pipe and two circular ports, showing a green rotation arrow (no text or symbols)

1. Unscrew the base and separate it from the main body. Remove the

old filter by firmly pulling it out of the main body.

Illustration of a hand holding a wristwatch with a green arrow indicating motion (no text or symbols)

1. Secure new filter onto the base by firmly pushing down until connections are tight. Write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen. Insert the filter back into main body.

1. Screw the base into the main body.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In most cases, problems with your Brondell H2O+ water filtration system can be resolved with a little troubleshooting by checking each of the items below. If you cannot resolve the problem you are having after troubleshooting, please call Brondell customer service toll free: 888-542-3355 or email us at [e-mail].

Symptom Check Measures to take
Unusual taste of water.	• Is the temperature of the supply water too high?	Use cold water only and flush system for 2 minutes.
	• Is it time to replace the filter? Replace the filter.
The amount of filtered water has suddenly increased or decreased.	• Is the supply water valve closed? Check the supply water valve.
	• The temperature of the supply water dropped dramatically.	If the water temperature lowers dramatically, the amount of filtered water will reduce
	• Is the filter blocked or damaged? Replace the filter.
No water comes out.	• Check if water supply valve under sink or the faucet diverter is closed.	Open supply valve and/or the diverter.
	• Have you missed your scheduled filter replacement?	Replace the filter.

1 These harmonized values were agreed upon by representatives of USEPA and Health Canada for the purpose of evaluating products to the requirements of this Standard.
2 Influent challenge levels are average influent concentrations determined in surrogate qualification testing.
3 Maximum product water level was not observed but was set at the detection limit of the analysis.
4 Maximum product water level is set at a value determined in surrogate qualification testing.
5 Chemical reduction percent and maximum product water level calculated at chloroform 95% breakthrough point as determined in surrogate qualification testing.
6 The surrogate test results for heptachlor epoxide demonstrated a 98% reduction. These data were used to calculate an upper occurrence concentration which would produce a maximum product water level at the MCL.
