The installation instructions on the following pages detail a standard installation on a main cold water
faucet line. Due to the nature of the ltration block contained in the cartridge, the application of the
InterFlo cartridge may affect the pressure and ow rate of the main cold water faucet line on which it is
installed.
In instances where pressure and ow rate drops must be avoided, it is recommended that the InterFlo
cartridge be installed and connected to a separate faucet. Please discuss options with your water
treatment dealer to nd the solution that is best for you.

INSTALLATION STEPS
1 Attach System Head to Cartridge to
help determine under sink placement.
2 Locate a suitable area under the sink to mount
the system, noting that at least three (3) inches of
clearance from the base of the cartridge is needed for
easy cartridge replacement. The System Head must
be installed less than three (3) feet from the cold-water
inlet valve.
3 After determining placement, remove Cartridge from System
Head. Place System Head in desired mounting location and use
a level and a pencil to mark all four (4) screw holes.
4 After penciling in the mounting placement, use a 7/32” drill bit to drill holes for plastic anchors.
Carefully tap anchors into the drilled hole with a hammer.
5 Using a Phillips head screwdriver, mount the System
Head and Cartridge Mounting Bracket using the
provided screws. Ensure the bracket is mounted
toward the end of the system sump for maximum
support.

outlet (marked “OUT”).
10 Once tubing is installed, turn on COLD
water kitchen faucet. With faucet on,
slowly turn on the cold water supply.
