Installation and Operation Guide
Drinking Water Systems
EV3070-43 Rev W DE06
Thank you for purchasing an Everpure commercial-grade water
filtration system for your home. With your Everpure system, you
get premium quality water direct from your tap that’s great-tasting,
healthful and convenient for you and your family.
Specifications:
For Cold Water Use Only
Temperature: 35-100°F (2-38°C)
Min.-Max. Working Pressure: 10-125 psi (0.7-8.6 bar)
Service Flow Rate: 0.5 gpm (1.9 Lpm)
H 1200 customers: Instructions for installing the H-1200 begin on page
4 of this Installation and Operation Guide.
MULTIPLE APPLIANCE CONNECTIONS: You can also connect your
Everpure Filter to several water using appliances, such as the
refrigerator for ice and water, an instant hot dispenser or chiller, or a
plumbed-in coffee brewer. Install connection “tees” (available from
any hardware / plumbing supply) in the water line between the filter
and the faucet adaptor, and run new tubing to each appliance.
We do NOT recommend connecting the filtered water to a commercial
ice maker, since these appliances require flow and volume beyond the
design limits of your under-sink filter system.

WARNING The Universal Plumbing Code adopted by over 20
states, and other specific state and county codes prohibit the use of
saddle valves and their use is never recommended. You must adhere
to your state / local plumbing codes. Consult your licensed plumber if
you have related questions.
WARNING Do NOT use copper tubing with the John Guest Fittings
provided with your Everpure Filter System. Copper tubing may appear
to fit, but water leaks will develop over time and use. If copper tubing
is required, you must use copper compression fittings available from
any hardware/plumbing supply.

mounting location for the top of the filter head. Make sure
there is adequate space above the head to open and close
the built in shut-off valve and to avoid crimping the water
line tubing. Also, make sure your chosen location offers easy
access for future cartridge changes.

Mount Filter Head Under Sink
Identify Filter Head and the two Elbow Fittings, and
note that the Outlet Fitting has a black band. This fitting
includes a small restrictor insert to insure maximum flow
at 1/2 gallon per minute.
Apply Teflon Tape to the threads of each Elbow Fitting.
Wrap tape in direction of the threads to assure a tight fit
and avoid small leaks.
Screw Inlet Elbow Fitting into the left side of the filter
head, and hand tighten only.
Screw Outlet Elbow Fitting (black band) into the right side
of the filter head in the same manner.
Securely mount the filter head on the cabinet wall using
the enclosed mounting screws and washers.
ATTACH INLET WATER SUPPLY
Locate and close the cold water Angle Stop Valve under
your kitchen sink. Open cold water faucet to release
water pressure.

Angle Stop Valve .
Attach the bottom of Angle Stop Adaptor to the existing
cold water Angle Stop Valve.
Attach the braided tubing to the top of the Angle Stop
Adaptor.
Close Side Valve on Angle Stop Adaptor and open cold
water Angle Stop Valve to return water service to kitchen
sink. Check for leaks.
NOTE: Teflon®Tape should not be required for these next
steps.
Measure length of tubing needed to connect Angle
Stop Adaptor to Inlet Elbow Fitting on Filter Head. Allow
adequate tubing to avoid sharp turns.
Cut tubing at a 90° angle using a sharp knife.
Insert ends of tubing into quick-connect fittings. Push
tube into fitting and gently pull to confirm a tight fit.

OPTIONAL FILTER MONITOR (H300+M Filter System)
A Filter Replacement Monitor (EV3112-01) is included with
the H300+M Filter System. It is a small water meter that
counts the number of gallons used. This Monitor includes
quick-connect fittings, and should be installed on the tubing
between the filter system and the faucet connector.
Monitor Instructions (Document EV3112-52) are included with
the H 300+M System.

leaks up to Inlet Elbow Fitting.
Open Filtered Water Faucet.
Lower the QC Valve Handle to flush water to the sink.
NOTE: Flush new filter cartridges for at least 10 minutes to
remove air and any loose carbon. At first the water may
appear cloudy due to trapped air in the filter and tubing. If
water continues to be cloudy for more that one week, please
contact Everpure Technical Services for assistance.

Everpure Filter Timer. The LED and buzzer will cycle 3
times to confirm the start, and flash / sound again in 11

Series head configurations – H-1200

other specific state codes prohibit the use of saddle valves

plumbing codes. Consult your licensed plumber for installation.
Installation instructions for H-300+M with a Filter Replacement
Monitor†
The monitor is installed after the filter, but before the
connections to faucets, icemakers or other water using
devices. The monitor comes with John Guest quick disconnect
fittings for easy installation.
Connect the tubing from the Everpure head to the inlet (left
side) port of the monitor.
Connect the tubing from the faucet or other device to the
outlet (right side) port of the monitor.
Tug gently on both tubes to verify secure connections. When
pressurizing system inspect the monitor for any leaks.
Use a piece of velcro to secure monitor to a vertical or
horizontal surface.
To set the monitor to work with your specific system please
refer to the instructions supplied with monitor.
Contact your local Everpure distributor for complete monitor
instructions (EV3112-52)
Operation – Green (Filter still within 90% of capacity);
Yellow (90% of filter’s capacity has been used, recommend
purchasing replacement cartridge); Red (Filter’s capacity
has been reached or cartridge has been installed for a year;
replace cartridge immediately).
You can connect your Everpure system for quality water to
several water-using appliances, such as an ice or water
refrigerator, an instant hot water dispenser or chiller, and a
plumbed-in coffee maker, in addition to the filter faucet. Install
tees in the water line coming from the Everpure system to the
other appliances. (We do not recommend installation of an
Everpure system to an icemaker only, without a filter faucet
connection under the sink. If installed to an icemaker only, an
activation valve is required.)
The Universal Plumbing Code adopted by over 20 states, and
other specific state codes prohibit the use of saddle valves
and their use is not permissible. You must adhere to your state
plumbing codes. Consult your licensed plumber for installation.
