Proper Installation

Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.

Pre autions:

For cold water use only.

After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run

for 10 minutes before using.

The filter cartridges used with this system have a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being filtered

indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Your water filtration system will withstand up to 100 psi water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi, install

a pressure reducing valve before the system is installed.

Before You Begin

nLocate the main water supply line to your home and check to see what type of plumbing is in place (ex: plastic, copper, galvanized).

The main water supply line is typically located in a basement, crawlspace or garage. Connect to cold water line only.

nMeasure the diameter of the existing pipe to determine what size fittings and/or valves (not included) will be required.

nChoose a location in the main supply line to install the Filter System. Make sure to place the Filter System in an area after the

water meter or pressure tank and before the water heater. Also select a location that will be easily accessible when changing

filter cartridges.

nConsult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.

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 housing be replaced every ten years. If the head of the 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.

Proper Installation

Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.

Pre autions:

For cold water use only.

After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the Filter System be flushed thoroughly. Let water

run for 10 minutes before using.

The QuickTwist™ Filter used with this Filter System has a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being

filtered indicate that the filter should be replaced.

Before You Begin

nCheck under the sink to locate a solid wall surface to mount the Filter System.

NOTE: The Filter System must be mounted in a verti al position.

nLocate the cold water pipe under your sink and observe if it is a flexible hose or a rigid pipe (ex: plastic, metal, copper). Rigid pipes

may require cutting in order to make adequate space to install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter (see Step 2). Also determine if you have

all appropriate fasteners and adapters to fit your plumbing.

nConsult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.

n If you plan to install your QuickTwistTM WFDW13000 Series direct to your kitchen faucet please skip to page 16.

STEP 1

STEP 2Mount the Fau et for Filtered Water

NOTE: The Fau et for Filtered Water in this pa kage is designed to fit a 9/16" hole. Most standard sinks ome with 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" diameter

water sprayer holes that an be used for mounting the Fau et. If the pre-drilled holes annot be used or are not in the desired position, a new

hole must be drilled using either a 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit to a ommodate the Fau et. The Fau et for Filtered Water base should be positioned

se urely on a flat surfa e with adequate spa e for proper fun tion. Consider onvenien e and appearan e of the fau et before installation.

IF YOUR SINK DOES NOT HAVE A WATER SPRAYER HOLE, GO TO 1. IF YOUR SINK DOES HAVE A WATER SPRAYER HOLE, GO TO 4.

1In order to prevent parts and materials from falling down the drain, line the sink with newspaper or a towel.

2Apply masking tape to the area to be drilled in order to prevent scratching the sink surface or countertop if the drill bit slips

during operation.

3Using a center punch, mark the drill hole. Use the 1/4" drill bit to make a pilot hole. Then use the 9/16" or 5/8" drill bit to drill the final

hole. Drill completely through the sink or countertop and smooth the rough edges with a file.

NOTE: Make sure that the Fau et for Filtered Water is assembled. The Fau et for Filtered Water Spout should be inserted into the Fau et for

Filtered Water Body and the retaining nut should be tightened until snug.

4Guide the Black Rubber Gasket Eonto the threaded Faucet for Filtered Water Stem. Slip the threaded Faucet Stem into the sink or

countertop hole. Make sure the Faucet for Filtered Water sits flat on top of the sink or countertop surface.

5From underneath the sink, slide the Metal Lock Washer Fup the Faucet for Filtered Water Stem. Then screw the plastic Faucet

Stem Nut Gall the way up the Faucet Stem until it is flush with the Metal Lock Washer. Screw until it is slightly snug and check

to make sure the faucet spout is in the proper position. Using fingers, tighten the nut to secure the Faucet for Filtered Water to

the sink.

NOTE: Do not tighten the Fau et for Filtered Water Stem Nut with pliers as it may strip the Fau et Stem threads.

WFQT130005

Safety glasses and a respirator are

recommended for this process, as it

may produce dust that can cause

severe irritation if it is inhaled or

comes in contact with eyes.

CAUTION

DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain

or cast iron sink, the faucet must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop

next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make certain that the area below the drilling

location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sufficient room to make the proper

connections to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE

THAN 1" IN THICKNESS OR COUNTERTOPS MADE OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE OR SIMILAR

SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for assistance.

4Holding the Kitchen Faucet Adapter Hin an upright position (see diagram), screw onto the threaded faucet stem.

5Screw the cold water supply line to the male threads of the Kitchen Faucet Adapter using the nut that was connecting the cold

water line to the kitchen faucet previously. For a secure fit, tighten the nut using an adjustable wrench.

6If you have replaced your sprayer with the Faucet for Filtered Water be sure to cap off the sprayer outlet from the kitchen faucet.

Most faucets will require a compression cap to seal and prevent leaks.

STEP 4

Mount the System Head

1Choose an easy-to-access area under the sink to mount the Filter System.

NOTE: To allow adequate spa e for filter hanges, allow a minimum learan e of 4-6" below the Qui kTwist™Filter. The Filter System

must be mounted in a verti al position.

NOTE: Mount the Filter System to a solid abinet wall or wall. If a solid surfa e is not available, use hollow-wall an hor bolts or toggle

bolts (not in luded) to se ure to the wall.

2Remove the cap from the top of the System Head A. Using the Built-in Bracket on the back of the System Head or the template

provided on the back of this booklet, mark the holes for the Mounting Screws Con the wall surface.

3Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill two pilot holes for the Mounting Screws. Insert Mounting Screws into the wall with a Phillips screwdriver,

leaving approximately 3/8" of each Mounting Screw exposed.

4Hang the System Head on the eyes of the bracket and replace the System Head cap.
