Important Recommendations:
Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation.
The system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible
you can install the system anywhere where there is a cold water supply
with sufficient water pressure.
Note: System is primary used as a POU (point of use) system. It is not recom-
mended to connect it on a location that has multiple outlets.
Mounting: Recommend mounting the system on the wall; please leave minimum 6
inch of space underneath the filter to make sure filter cartridge can be
taken down easily for filter replacement.
