SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
• Use the _,\'ater Filtration sxstem on a potnble saie-t(.dfink, l_ome COLDwater supply only. The filter canister3 will not pmJt} the water;
or make it safe to drink.
•Do notuse on a hot water supply (100°F max.).

before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction maybe used on dNinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
PROPERINSTALLATION
This Water Filtration system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below fl'eezing or exposed to any type of weather: Water fl'eezing in the
system will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
.&WARNING:Oiscard all unused and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could be
a choke hazard.
•Ymr Water Filtration system will withstand up to 120 potmds per square inch (psi) water pressm'e. If veto" house water supply pressm'e
is higher than 100 psi, instnll a pressm'e reducing \:flve befin'e installing the Water Filtration s\stem.

InstallationInstructions.
FaucetInstallation
Be sure there is room underneath and above the sink to make the needed connections, getOre starting, make sure there is sufficient
room for the batte_ T powered timcet base. Select one of the tollowing places to install the timcet:
I. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.
2. In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.
3. In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.
NOTE:Besurethe faucetbase wfft fit flatagalbst the surfaceat the selectedlocationso the bottomgasketbetween thebase andsurfacearea will seal
Installation Steps (refer to Fig. #for clarification)
I. If drilling is needed, make a 3/4" diameter hole.
Be sure to use theproper procedure fordrilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may be needed. Consulta qualified plumber
for the proper procedure.
2. Remove the timcet with ix'e-installed tubing, thin _>fing (D), tmuet base (E), bottom base gasket (17), lock washer (G), hex nut (H)
and mounting bracket (l) fl'om the packaging.
3. Feed tubing connected to the tilucet through the thin o-ring (D), tilucet base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock washer (G) and
hex nut (H).
4. Thread the hex nut (H) tlI) the stem ot the tilucet until the height between the bottom of the base gasket (F) and top ot the lock
washer (G) is slightly larger than the thickness of the mounting stlrtilce (]).
5. I.ower the fhucet assembly into place in the mounting hole and orient to final position. Place the mounting bracket (I)
above the lock washer (G) around the taucet stem (Fig. 5). While holding the mounting bracket in place, securely tighten
the hex nut.
