mounting!bracket. Each!black!mark!on!the!dial!represents!100!gallons!(378.5!L).!!!
a) Move!the!dial!clockwise!so!that!the!black!indicator!arrow!lines!up!with!the!1100!gallon
(4,164!L)!mark.
!
Important:
!!Set!flow!meter!to!1100!gallons!after!each!new!filter!replacement.
!!!!!!!!
NOTE:
!To!prevent!indicator!malfunctions,!only!move!the!dial!when!the!system!is!depressurized.!
Step!10!–!Putting!the!System!into!Operation!
a) Slowly!turn!on!cold!water!supply.
b) Rotate!handle!on!base!of!drinking!water!faucet!counter-clockwise!to!“ON”!position.
Allow!water!to!run!for!10!minutes!to!flush!air!and!carbon!fines!from!filter!cartridges.!!Check
system!for!leaks!before!completing!installation.
c) Make!sure!that!all!nuts!are!tightened.
NOTE:
!!A!drinking!water!cartridge!may!contain!carbon!fines!(very!fine!black!powder).!It!is!recommended
that!you!run!the!tap!at!least!20!seconds!prior!to!using!water!for!drinking!or!cooking!purposes.

be!able!to!watch!the!cloudiness!disappear!from!the!bottom!of!the!glass!upwards.!!This!harmless!cloudiness
results!from!the!release!of!trapped!air!with!the!cartridge!and!will!disappear!within!a!few!weeks!after!installation.
INSTALLATION!IS!NOW!COMPLETE.!
NOTE: Based on the settings sensitivity of the Effective Life Indicator (ELI), user should set the ELI to
1,100 gallons to assure a 1,000 gallon cycle.
