BELOW COUNTER INSTALLATION
PREPARATION FOR THE FAUCET
OR DISPENSING DEVICE
This installation uses a separate, counter-
mounted eSpring®Faucet or any NON-eSpring
single line faucet or dispensing device. With the
eSpring Water Purifier below the counter, these
installations allow maximum use of counter
space, with no visible tubing.
Cold water plumbing must be modified to provide
a 3/8” (9.5 mm) Outer Diameter (O.D.) x ¼”
(6.4 mm) Inner Diameter (I.D.) tubing (plastic
or metal) for connection to an auxiliary faucet or
dispensing device (Fig. 17).
NOTE: You will need an electrical outlet to plug in
the Power Adapter. If you need to install a new
outlet, it must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician according to Federal,
Provincial, State, Municipal and local laws. This outlet must be powered continuously
for the Water Purifier to function properly. In case of a power outage, see p. 8.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Hire a plumber if you do not feel comfortable modifying the plumbing and
installing the faucet.
2. Determine type and size tubing or piping needed between the cold water
supply line and the kitchen faucet. Take a digital picture of your cold water
supply plumbing to use as a guide in the hardware store to purchase the
appropriate parts for installation.
3. Install a tee in cold water supply and a separate shut-off valve to the tee
before connection of an Auxiliary Faucet or dispensing device. This will allow
for rinsing and cleaning of the Water Purifier during cartridge changes.
a. All fittings and valves must be approved for use in pressurized drinking
water applications.
b. Purchase plastic ferrules when connecting plastic tubes to metal
compression fittings (which come with metal ferrules for connection to
metal pipe).
4. Select a location for the faucet or dispensing device. There may already be
an extra, capped hole in your sink’s ledge for a sprayer, soap dispenser or
extra faucet that can be used for mounting the faucet. If you are removing
the connected sprayer, it will need to be sealed properly. (See local plumbing
store for assistance.)
a. For eSpring Faucet: If a new hole is needed, it must be between 1¼”
(32mm) and 1½” (38mm) in diameter, less than 3 15/16” (100 mm)
from the sink basin and at least 1¼” (32mm) from the wall. Before
drilling, make sure there is sufficient clearance below the sink or
countertop to accommodate the faucet and allow connections to be made
to the eSpring Water Purifier.
b. For NON-eSpring faucet or dispensing device: Follow manufacturer’s use
instructions.
NOTE: For solid countertops, it is recommended to use a very sharp bi-blade hole
saw and start by making a pilot hole. If you have a porcelain/ceramic sink or a tile
countertop, it is recommended to seek professional assistance for proper drilling.
WARNING: Due to the possibility of shock or electrocution, use extreme care
when operating an electric power drill or other power tools around the sink. Avoid
contact with water or moisture at all times.
Continue With Faucet Installation
• Below Counter eSpring Auxiliary Faucet, p. 4.
• Below Counter NON-eSpring Faucet or Dispensing Device, p. 5.
4. Lay each tube from the Diverter on the diagram. Use a pen to mark a line
across them at the arrows. Push tubing supports into their respective tubes,
until they are flush with the end of the tubes (Fig. 13).
5. Insert each tube into the proper locations
on the Bracket until you meet the marks or
the marks disappear (Fig. 14).
NOTE: You will feel resistance before the tube is
fully installed.
6. The Diverter controls the flow of water
according to the position of
the pin.
a) Pin pulled out - Treated water (Fig.
15A).
b) Pin pushed in - Untreated water
(Fig. 15B).
7. Turn on cold water faucet and pull out
the Diverter pin.
NOTE: It will take a short time for water
to saturate the Cartridge and flow from
the Diverter. Flush for a minimum of
5 U.S. gallons (20 liters) (approximately
5-15 minutes) to remove air pockets and
carbon dust. If water is not clear,
see Troubleshooting, p. 8.
8. Check for any signs of leakage at
the Diverter and at all tubing
connections (Fig 16). If there is
leaking or bubbling, refer to
Troubleshooting, p. 7.
NOTE: During use periodically
check system for leaks.
9. Turn off the water and push
in the pin, after each use.

Cartridge, Auxiliary Faucet, Diverter, Tubing and Pressure Regulator) will not prove
defective (as defined below) under normal use for three years from the date of purchase.
An item will be considered “defective” if it is defective in materials or workmanship and if
the defect materially impairs the performance or value of the eSpring Water Purifier to
the original purchaser.
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY NOT COVER?
This Limited Warranty does not cover:
(a) Any eSpring Water Purifier that has been subjected to any use that is different
than or inconsistent with the use instructions in the eSpring Water Purifier Owners
Manual.
(b) Any eSpring Water Purifier that has been subjected to any abuse, accident,
physical damage, improper installation or application, alteration, neglect, improper

that is not compatible with the eSpring Water Purifier, OR;
(e) Any eSpring Water Purifier that was not installed with an eSpring Auxiliary Faucet
Kit or an eSpring Existing Faucet Kit or using a NON-eSpring faucet that was not
installed per the installation directions using the pressure regulator supplied by
Amway.
HOW WILL THE USE OF NON-AUTHORIZED PARTS AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF
YOUR eSpring WATER PURIFIER?
Performance claims relating to the eSpring Water Purifier were developed through
testing of the complete system as designed by the manufacturer, and as installed
and operated as recommended by the manufacturer. The use of replacement parts or
accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in diminished
Water Purifier performance. Amway does not warrant the performance of any NON-
eSpring Water Purifier parts or accessories, and is not responsible for any damage
to the eSpring Water Purifier caused by any NON-eSpring Water Purifier parts or
accessories.
WHAT WILL AMWAY DO IF YOUR eSpring WATER PURIFIER IS DEFECTIVE?
If any eSpring Water Purifier that has not been altered or subjected to tampering,
misuse, or abuse proves to have been defective during the Limited Warranty period then,
subject to timely notification of the claimed defect, Amway will, at its option, either repair
or replace the defective item at its expense.
HOW AND WHEN MUST YOU MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?
For service under this Limited Warranty in the United States, please contact Amway
Corp. via telephone at 1-800-253-6500 weekdays between 8 AM and 12 AM Eastern
time BEFORE you return anything, for shipping and handling instructions. Then return

No warranty claim may be made unless the purchaser has notified Amway of the
claimed defect by writing or telephoning Amway within 30 days after its discovery (but
in all events no later than 30 days after the end of the applicable warranty period).
Upon receipt of an eSpring®Water Purifier that is claimed to be defective, Amway will
determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether the eSpring Water Purifier is defective.
By accepting a returned eSpring Water Purifier for inspection, Amway does not concede
that the returned system is defective. Amway will bear the expense of shipping, both
ways, with respect to the repair or replacement of any defective eSpring Water Purifier
within the warranty period. If, in Amway’s opinion, the eSpring Water Purifier is not
defective, it will be returned to the purchaser.
OTHER IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
If Amway fails to repair or replace any defective item within a reasonable time, its
liability under this Limited Warranty will in all events be limited to the purchase price
of the defective eSpring Water Purifier. Except as provided under Federal, State or
Provincial laws, no person is authorized to or may modify or expand the warranty
provided herein, waive any of the conditions and limitations of this Limited Warranty, or
make any different or additional warranties with respect to the eSpring Water Purifier.
Any statements to the contrary shall be of no effect unless made in writing and signed
by an authorized officer of Amway.

sets forth the purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies for any defect in the eSpring
Water Purifier, and THE WARRANTIES STATED HEREIN ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT FOR
THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY
OTHER NON-DISCLAIMABLE WARRANTIES IMPOSED BY FEDERAL, STATE OR
PROVINCIAL LAW. NO SUCH NON-DISCLAIMABLE WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL
BE FOR TERMS EXTENDING BEYOND THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS LIMITED
WARRANTY DESCRIBED ABOVE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some states or
provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitation may not apply to you.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state or province to province. The laws of some
jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain rights or remedies
provided by such laws. As this Limited Warranty is subject to such laws, some of the
limitations or restrictions contained in this Limited Warranty may not apply to you.
The provisions of this Limited Warranty are in addition to and not a modification of or
subtraction from the statutory warranties contained in state or provincial laws.
AMWAY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, OR

LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, OR
OTHER ECONOMIC INJURY, NOR UPON ANY CLAIM BASED ON ALLEGED NEGLIGENT
DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OF ANY GOODS, OR THE OMISSION OF ANY WARNING

INSTALACIÓN Y
MANTENIMIENTO
Antes de comenzar la instalación, por favor revise el manual del propietario
minuciosamente para garantizar el funcionamiento adecuado de su purificador de
agua eSpring.
NOTA: Necesitará una toma de corriente para enchufar el adaptador eléctrico.
Si necesita instalar una nueva toma de corriente, ésta debe ser instalada por un
electricista certificado o con licencia de conformidad con las leyes federales,
provinciales, estatales, municipales y locales. La toma de corriente debe contar con
corriente eléctrica continua para que el purificador de agua funcione debidamente.
En caso de interrupción eléctrica, consulte la página 8.
Para maximizar el rendimiento de su purificador de agua y mantener agua potable
de calidad, el cartucho se debe reemplazar una vez al año o en cuanto haya filtrado
1320 galones (5000 litros) de agua, lo que ocurra primero. El módulo electrónico
verifica la cantidad de agua filtrada y mantiene un registro del tiempo que el
cartucho ha estado en servicio. Después de un año o tan pronto como el filtro
ha tratado 1320 galones (5000 litros) de agua, el módulo electrónico envía una
alerta de reemplazo del filtro.
El purificador de agua está diseñado para recibir corriente eléctrica continua para
verificar adecuadamente el rendimiento del cartucho.

varias horas (por ejemplo durante la noche), deje correr el agua durante
60 segundos antes de usarlo.
3. NO use el purificador de agua con agua tibia ni caliente, ya que ello puede
dañarlo.
4. NO LO INSTALE con la tubería a toda presión. Se debe instalar con lo
siguiente:
• Encima del desviador de la cubierta
• Debajo de la llave eSpring de la cubierta
• Debajo de la cubierta, el dispositivo surtidor o la llave que NO es eSpring
debe instalarse con el paquete del regulador de presión (CXV3645).
5. El purificador de agua eSpring NO está diseñado para eliminar sustancias
inorgánicas solubles como el hierro, el calcio, el magnesio, los nitratos, el
