2. Obtain any other fittings required to connect compression fittings to feed water adapter.
3. Remove pipe from supply valve.
4. Cut pipe to fit length of assembled fittings and adapter.
5. Install compression fitting to pipe.
6. Go back to A. Preferred Installation section step 3.

NOTE: Above described materials are not included with the product.

INSTALL THE FAUCET

Be sure there is room underneath and above the sink to make the needed connections. Before starting, make sure there is sufficient room for the faucet base and unit. Select one of the following places to install the faucet:

A. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.
B. In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
C. In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.

NOTES:

• Be sure the faucet base will fit flat against the surface at the selected location so the bottom gasket between the base and surface area will seal.
  Make sure to leave enough clearance at the back of the faucet in case you need to remove it.

Installation Steps (refer to illustration below for clarification)

1. If drilling is needed, make a 1'' diameter hole. Be sure to use the proper procedure for drilling stone, porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber for the proper procedure.
   CAUTION: When drilling in Stainless

Steel, the edges may be sharp and could puncture the tube. Be careful to not cut yourself or damage the tube.

1. Remove the faucet body and base by turning the base counterclockwise.
2. Remove the butterfly bracket from the screw. Then insert the screw into the top of the base and reattach the butterfly bracket.
3. Align the gasket to cover the hole completely. Then place the butterfly bracket on the base into the hole.

1. Tighten the screw to secure the butterfly bracket to the underside of the sink top. The base should be firmly in place and should not wobble or turn.

INSTALL THE FAUCET (CONT.)

1. Feed the water tube up through the faucet base. Then push the tube into the fitting on the bottom of the faucet body. It should go in about 3/4'' . Pull tube slightly to make sure it is secure.

1. Push the faucet body down into the faucet base and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.

NOTE: You can install the faucet so the handle is on the right or the left side.

If you want the faucet handle on the right, position the handle at the back of the faucet base before turning clockwise.

If you want the faucet handle on the left, position the handle at the front of the faucet base before turning clockwise.

Faucet handle on the RIGHT. Faucet handle on the LEFT

1. Locate the hole at the rear of the base. Insert set screw and begin to tighten by hand. Finish tightening with the allen wrench provided in the packet.

MOUNTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Pick a location under the sink to mount the system. Location should be easily accessible, with clearance between the bottom of the filter canisters and the floor or bottom of the cabinet; any less will result in difficulty of removing filter canisters (see Fig. 5). Allow enough space on either side of the system for the tubing connections.

SCREW INSTALLATION

1. Remove this template from the manual for easier installation.
2. The top of the template openings should be placed a minimum of 17 inches above the bottom of the cabinet or floor where the system is to be mounted (Fig. 4 and 5). NOTE: Any distance lower may result in filter canisters interfering with the floor when removed.
3. Tape template to wall, then mark the wall where the screws are to be installed.

Install screws into the wall, leaving 3/16 inch clearance between the head of the screw and wall (drill pilot holes if needed) (Fig. 6).

MOUNTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Mounting System to Screws Installed in Wall

1. Remove shrink wrap from filter system.
2. Hang the system on the previously installed screws using the openings on the back of the unit (Fig. 7).
3. If the head of the screw will not slide into the upper slot, back out the screw by 1/4 turn and try again.
4. If the system is too loose when placed on the wall, tighten the screws by 1/4 turn and try again until a desired fit is achieved. Alternatively, it is possible to remove the top of the manifold during installation and tighten the screws to achieve the desired fit. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Replace the top of the manifold when complete.

INSTALLING THE TUBING

1. Measure 3/4'' from the end of each remaining piece of tubing (f aquet end and inlet end) and mark with a pencil (Fig. 8). (Check for roundness, smoothness, cuts, nicks, flat spots and sharp edges. It may be necessary to recut the tubing.)

Fig. 8

INCORRECT

1. Locate fittings for tubing on bottom of manifold.

1. NOTE: Water flow is from left to right. Water inlet is on the left side and water outlet is on the right side. Failure to follow will result in water leaks when filter canisters are removed.
2. Push the tubing firmly into each fitting on the manifold until the line is flush with the fitting collar. (If the tubing is removed, re-cut the end, measure, mark and re-insert). Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks (Fig. 9). (To remove tubing, depress and hold white collet; pull tubing out to remove.)

INSTALLING THE TUBING (CONT.)

1. Pull out slightly on tubing to ensure a good seal.
2. Install the other end of the tubing from the inlet side of the manifold to the feed water adapter.

NOTE: Inspect the ends of the tubing to be sure there are no imperfections and that the end of the tubing is cut square. It may be necessary to cut the tubing again.

INSTALL THE BATTERY

1. Remove the lens cover from the faucet base. Grip it from both sides and pull forward.
2. Install one CR2032 3V battery with the "+" side down into the battery tray.
3. The amber LED light will flash 5 times, indicating a proper installation and system reset. If the amber light does not flash, check the position of the battery and make sure it is installed correctly.
4. Slide the lens cover back into the faucet base.
5. Normally, the light is off. After 6 months of use, the amber LED light will flash every 30 seconds, indicating the time to replace the filter canister.

NOTE: The amber LED light may stop blinking if it is allowed to blink for an extended period of time. To ensure proper operation, the battery should be replaced with every filter change.

REPLACING THE FILTER CANISTERS

The amber light in the faucet base will flash every 30 seconds to indicate a filter change is needed. This occurs every 6 months. TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM AND REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE, CHANGE THE FILTER AS REQUIRED.

1. Remove the filter canisters from the manifold by rotating the canisters to the left about 1/3 turn (Fig. 11). NOTE: A small amount of water from the tubing between the filter and the faucet may come out. A small towel should be able to catch it.
2. Remove foil on top of new replacement filter canisters. Install the new canisters into the manifold by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the filter stops. DO NOT OVERLIGHTEN. The filter will rise up as it is turned.
3. Turn handle on faucet to allow trapped air to purge from the system.

NOTE: System may make noise during this procedure.

1. Check for water leaks around the system.
2. Once water starts to flow out of the faucet, flush 3 gallons through the system (up to 5 minutes depending on flow rate) to flush out any harmless carbon fines that may be present.
3. Turn off faucet and check around system for leaks.
4. Remove battery tray and replace battery to reset timer. (See Battery Installation for proper procedure.)
