wall of the sink cabinet. Use the two
Self-Tapping Screws to securely install
the Bracket. (figure 4). Make sure the
Bracket location permits access to the
cold water valve location and easy

7. Install Faucet. The System is furnished
with General Ecology’s exclusive “Top
Mount” Ceramic Disc Faucet. If a
suitable hole isn’t available, prepare a
¾” hole to install your faucet. Refer to
Mounting Pattern below.
Sinks and counter tops made of
porcelain, stainless steel, stone or man-
made material require special care. We
suggest you consult the manufacturer’s
guidelines or contact your dealer for
best results in drilling the ¾” hole
necessary to mount the faucet. Be sure
sink/counter top surface at drill hole is
flat and burr free.

11. Mount unit on Bracket by placing the
V-Clamp over the raised section on
top of the Bracket. Open the Faucet to
allow air to exhaust slowly. Open Valve
on cold water service line. Check for
leaks. Allow water to run for several
minutes to clear line and system of air
and any loose materials. Please note
that for the first few days you may see
entrapped air bubbles within the water.
This is perfectly normal and will cease
after the unit has processed several
gallons of water. Also, some black
“fines” from inside of cartridge may
flow with the first few gallons of water.
These are harmless, if consumed.
