Use Restrictions
A minimum water pressure of 15 psi is required to operate the Living Water Unit (45
– 60 psi is recommended).
CAUTION: Do not drink water from the Living Water if the UV Lamp does not
activate or when there is no electricity.
In addition, the Living Water is not designed to process warm or hot water. Allow
only cold or ambient temperature to flow through the system.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
System and installation must comply with local state regulations.
Installation of Countertop Models (CT)
Living Water IIsCT, and IIIsCT all come ready to install to most faucets. Installation
takes just a few minutes and requires a pair of pliers.
NOTE: The unit must be installed vertically (not horizontal)
WARNING: Remove protective packaging from inside the UV lamp housing before operation.
1. Remove the existing aerator and gasket from the faucet. If the threads on the hose
assembly do not match your faucets threads, use the included adapter or obtain one
from your local hardware store.
2. Thread the hose assembly onto the faucet.
3. Connect the shorter tubing of the diverter assembly to the inlet of the system by
simply pushing the metal tube into the lower fitting (located at the rear of the unit,
towards the bottom) until you hear a click.
4. Connect the longer tubing to the outlet of the system by pushing the metal tube into
the top fitting (located in the cap of the post-filter chamber) until you hear a click.
5. Place hoses as shown and plug the power supply into a nearby receptacle.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug your Living Water unit into an outlet that can be turned off with a
switch, such as an outlet for a garbage disposal.

Filter Maintenance
The filter cartridges in the Living Water require periodic replacement for peak
performance.
CAUTION: Use only replacement filters provided by your Living Water distributor.
Contact your EcoQuest Business Owner for replacement filters.
The pre-filter (Living Water III only - see page 1) should be replaced when it appears
dirty and/or the normal flow of water through the system has decreased.
The post-filter should be replaced when one or more
of the following occur:
• The filter has been in service for one year.
• The filter has processed more than 1000 gallons of
water.
• The system has not been activated for more than
two weeks.
• There is a noticeable decrease in water flow.
Changing the Filters
CAUTION: Unplug the system to prevent electrical
shock and potential exposure to UV light.
1. Remove the filter chamber cap (see page 3).
2. Remove the filter (B) and discard.
3. Install the new filter (B).
4. Replace the top cap (A) making sure the blue
o-ring (C) is seated properly in the chamber
when the cap is tightened.

Operation
Your new Living Water system has been designed to be exceptionally simple to use.
Be sure to read and follow all instructions before operating.
IMPORTANT: Before using your new Living Water system, allow the water to flow
though the system for at least five (5) minutes. Do not drink the water coming from
the system during this initial startup.
1. To operate the Living Water simply turn on the cold
water and pull the small pin outward. This will direct
water through the system and return the treated water
out of the small spigot. Once the filter chambers are
filled, the UV lamp will activate automatically and
water will flow from the bottom to the top of the
system in a swirling action.
CAUTION: If the water flows from the top of the system to the bottom, the hose connections
are reversed. See page 2 for correct hose installation instructions.
IMPORTANT: If the diverter pin does not remain in the "out" position by itself, or the
UV lamp does not activate, there is not sufficient water pressure (minimum of 15 psi) to
operate the system.
2. If this is the first time you are using your new system, or you have performed
maintenance, see INITIAL STARTUP above. Otherwise you can begin enjoying
great-tasting Living Water immediately.
Note: You can maximize the life of the UV lamp and reduce maintenance cost by
filling one-gallon containers or large pitchers with treated water and storing them in
the refrigerator for use.
Maintenance: Removing the Filter Cap(s)
Maintaining your Living Water will require the
removal of the filter chamber caps. To remove
a cap, disconnect the tubing by pressing down
on the connector collar using the included tool
while pulling up on the tubing. Once the tubing
is disconnected, unscrew the cap and remove.

5. Reconnect the tubing by reinserting the connector into
the collar. Press down on the tubing until the connector is
seated properly.
6. Plug in the power supply, turn on the system and allow
water to flow through the new filter for a minimum of five
(5) minutes before drinking the water.
Please Note: If your Living Water unit develops leakage around the top
cap, simply remove the cap, reseat the blue o-ring (C), and carefully
replace the cap (see step 4 above).

GOING TO THE SYSTEM.
1. Disconnect the tubing from the top and bottom of the system. Remove the unit from
the wall mounts if applicable. Lay the system down horizontally.

NOTE: Touching the glass portion of the bulb will leave an oil deposit and may cause
the bulb to fail prematurely. If you should inadvertently touch the glass, clean the
entire bulb surface using denatured alcohol before installing.
7. Reinstall the retainer wire (B) back into its original position and tighten screw (A).
8. Replace the bottom cup and secure with screws.
