Precautions
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. Systems
certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
CAUTION: This filter must be protected from freezing, which
can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION: Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage,
we strongly recommend that the head of the filter
be replaced every ten years. If the head of your filter
has been in use for longer than this period, it should
be replaced immediately. Date the top of any
new head to indicate the next recommended
replacement date.
CAUTION: Turn off water supply to head without cartridge if it must
be left unattended for an extended period of time.
Tools Required
•Phillips Screwdriver •File or Sandpaper
•Towel P •encil
•Drill •3.2 mm (1/8") Drill Bit
•Tape Measure •Adjustable Wrench
Optional Materials
•6.3 & 12.7 mm (1/4" & 1/2") Drill Bit
•Cone-shaped grinding wheel
Installation
•For standard installation on 15mm copper, steel, brass or PVC
cold water pipe.
•Please read all instructions and precautions before installing
and using your under-sink drinking water system.
•Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.
1. Selecting the Tap Location
NOTE: The drinking water tap should be positioned with function,
convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area
is required to allow tap base to rest securely. The tap fits through
a 12mm hole.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain sink. If
you have an all-porcelain sink,drill through countertop next to
sink. The following instructions apply to porcelain-coated cast iron
and stainless steel sinks only. Consult a professional plumber
about installation on an all-porcelain sink.
(continued overleaf)
•For cold water use only.
•Make certain that installation complies
with all local bylaws and regulations.
•The contaminants or other substances
removed or reduced by the selected
cartridge are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water supplier for a copy of
their water analysis.
•After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a
holiday) it is recommended that the system be flushed
thoroughly. Let water run for 2-3 minutes before using.
•The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odour, colour; and/or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

T roubleshooting
Leaks:
...Between head and cartridge
(1) Tu rn off the water supply to the filter and dispense water from
drinking water tap until water and airflow stops.
(2) Remove cartridge and inspect o-rings to make sure they are
in place and clean.
(3) Install cartridge and turn on water supply. If it still leaks, con-
tact Technical Support.
...From pushfits
Tu rn off saddle valve and turn on drinking water tap. Remove
tubing from the pushfit inserts on the filter head and ensure
the tube is cut squarely. If so insert the tube back into the
p ushfits ensuring the tube is pushed fully home. Open the
water supply valve, then close tap and check for leaks.
If the leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on the unit, turn
off the water supply then call Technical Support.
...On saddle valve connection
Call Technical Support.
...On tap/tubing connection
Call Technical Support.
NOTE: If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off
water supply. Call our technical support department.

1. Selecting the Tap Location (cont)
(A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or
tools from falling down drain and damaging sink disposal unit if fitted.
(B) If sink is porcelain-coated, place masking tape over area to be drilled to
prevent excess chipping of enamel.Use a cone-shaped grinding wheel
to grind away a 3/4–inch diameter circle of porcelain before drilling.
WARNING: Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
(C) Mark hole with center punch. Use a 6mm drill bit for a pilot hole, then
using a 12mm diameter bit, drill a hole completely through the sink or
work top. Smooth rough edges with a file.
2. Mounting the Tap
3. Installing the Saddle Valve
NOTE: Saddle valve must be installed on a 50 mm (2”) long, straight-walled
section of 10 mm (3/8”) to 23 mm (7/8”) steel, brass, copper, or PVC pipe.
(A) Select a straight section of the water supply line.
(B) Clamp around water line using two clamping screws (A). Tighten evenly.
Note: Use saddles (B) & (C) for 10 mm (3/8") O.D. pipe, only saddle (C) for
13 mm (1/2") O.D. pipe, or no saddles for 16 mm (5/8") pipe.
(C) Connect the end of the tubing to the filter system water input.
(D) Tu rn adjustment knob (D) clockwise as far as it will go to pierce the
water line.
(E) Back out knob counter clockwise as far as it will go for full flow. Adjust
down for desired flow.
4. Mounting the Filter System
(A) Select location under sink where filter is to be mounted.
NOTE: Allow 50mm clearance below housing or 280mm below filter head
to enable filter cartridge changes.
CAUTION: Filter head should be mounted on stud or firm surface. The
mounting bracket will support the weight of the filter and help prevent
strain on the cold water line.
(B) Filter head should be mounted in vertical position, use mounting
bracket as a template to mark screw locations. Mount filter head in
marked location using screws.

(A) The tap should be positioned on a work surface adjacent to a sink
where the spout can properly discharge water into the basin.
(B) Using a pencil, mark the work surface to indicate the centre of the
tap.
(C) Drill a ½”hole where marked on the work surface.
(D) Insert the black rubber washer into the base of the tap.
(E) Insert the threaded section of the tap body into the ½”hole.
(F) Assemble the washers and lock nut on the threaded section as over.
(G) Tighten the lock nut to prevent the tap moving. Do not over
tighten.
