MAKE HOLE FOR FAUCET
IMPORTANT: A 1-I/4" dia. hole is needed to mount the
filtered water faucet. To avoid damaging the sink,
consult aqualified plumber or installer for drilling
procedures in porcelain or stainless steel.
1. Select one of the following options to install the faucet.
Make sure there is room underneath to make the needed
connections.
• Use an existing sink top hole for spray hose or soap
dispenser (must be 1-1/4" in diameter).
• Drill a new hole in the sink top.
• Drill a hole in the countertop next to the sink.
2. Check to make sure the filtered water faucet base will
sit flat against the mounting surface.
3. If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4" dia. (minimum) hole
for the faucet in the mounting surface.
INSTALL FAUCET BASE
1. Locate the faucet base (See Fig. 5) and feed the toggle
bolts down through the hole until the faucet base is
square against the mounting surface (sink or countertop).
The rubber gasket should be between the faucet base
and mounting surface.
2. Tighten the toggle bolts until the faucet base is firmly
mounted to the surface. Do not overtighten.
CONNECT BLUE TUBE TO FAUCET
1. Place the Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter
housing under the sink. It can sit upright or on its side.
2. Locate the blue tube. One end is attached to the filter
housing. Feed the other end up through the mounting
hole and faucet base. See Figure 6.
3. Refer to the "Cut Tubes to Length" section on Page 8
and cut the blue tube square and to length as needed,
leaving about 6inches above the faucet base.
4. Locate the faucet. Refer to the "Connect Tubes" section
on Page 8 and insert the blue tube all the way into the
3/8" quick connect fitting on the faucet bottom.
5. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
INSTALL FAUCET ON BASE
1. Lower the faucet onto the base. See Figure 7.
2. Give the faucet a 1/4 turn clockwise to attach the
faucet to the base.
3. Install battery in faucet base (See "Change Battery"
section on Page 9) then continue installation with Step 3
on Page 8.

CONNECT YELLOW TUBE TO WATER SUPPLY FITTING
1. Locate the yellow tube. One end is attached to the fil-
ter housing. Run the other end to the water supply fit-
ting on the cold water pipe. See Figure 8.
2. Refer to the "Cut Tubes to Length" section, below, and
cut the yellow tube square and to length as needed.
3. Refer to the "Connect Tubes" section, below, and insert
the yellow tube all the way into the 3/8" quick connect
fitting on included water supply fitting (installed in Step
1).
4. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES
Your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter includes
push-in fittings for quick tubing connection. Review the
following before connecting the tubes.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always cut the tubing square. See Figure 9.
2. Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure there
are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If needed,
cut the tubing again.
Connect tubes
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.
See Figure 10. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms
out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 11. A
common mistake is to stop pushing when the tube
engages the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks.
When a 3/8" tube is fully engaged, 3/4" of the tube
has entered the fitting. See Figures 10 & 11.
2. If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the sys-
tem, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and round-
ness with a smooth surface.
To disconnect tubes
1. Pushthe collet inward with a finger tip. See Figure 12.
2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tubing
out. See Figure 13.

FAUCET ELECTRONICS
Inside the faucet base is a battery operated 6month
timer. See Figure 14.
An amber LED indicator is also located in the front of the
faucet base. This LED will flash continuously after 6
months has passed. This indicates that it is time to
replace the battery and filter cartridges.
CHANGE BATTERY
To change (or install) the battery, complete the following
steps.
1. Loosen the screw on the right side of the faucet base
See Figure 14.
2. Press the battery housing upwards from the front
faucet base until it releases from the faucet base. See
Figure 14.
3. Replace (or install) the battery (Maxell CR 2032 or
equivalent). Place battery into the holder with the
positive (+) side facing the back of the holder.
4. When the battery is first replaced it will flash six times
and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully
charged. After the six flashes, the timer enters the
6month time cycle.
NOTE: If the LED repeatedly flashes just two times, it is
not a fully charged battery and will need to be replaced.
5. Re-install the timer housing and firmly tighten the
mounting screw. See Figure 14.
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
It is recommended to replace the battery and filter
cartridges every 6months of use. There are several
variables that determine how long a cartridge will last.
These include:
1. How much water you use, and
2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other
unwanted substances, are in the water.
Use the following information as a guide. However no
matter which type of cartridge you are using, you will
know it is time to replace it when you first notice the
return of unwanted substances in your water.

from the filter heads. See Figure 15.
2. Dispose of the old cartridges in a proper manner.
3. Install new cartridges, making sure to insert cartridge 1
and 2 into the correct opening (note the printing on the
cover designating "Cartridge 1" and "Cartridge 2").
Turn cartridges to the right to re-attach to the filter
heads.
4. Remove and replace the timer battery. See "Change
Battery" above.
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Filter cartridges contain acti-
vated carbon, a black powder. When new, open the fil-
tered water faucet and allow fine carbon particles to
purge from the cartridge. Close the faucet when you no
longer see the "fines" (carbon particulates) in the filtered
water, or approximately 10 minutes.

HAGA EL ORIFICIO PARA EL GRIFO
IMPORTANTE: Se necesita un orificio de I-I/4 pulg. (32 mm)
para montar el grifo de agua filtrada. Consulte a tin plomero o
instalador calificado sobre los procedimientos de perforacidn
en porcelana o acero inoxidable para evitar dafiar el fregadero.
1. Seleccione una de las siguientes opciones para instalar el
grifo. Cerci6rese de que haya suficiente espacio debajo del
fregadero para las conexiones necesarias.
• Use un orificio existente para manguera de rociador o
dispensador de jab6n Ifquido (debe tener 1-1/4 pulg.
[32 mm] de di6metro).
• Haga un nuevo orificio en la parte superior del fregadero.
• Haga un orificio en la encimera junto al fregadero.
2. Compruebe que la base del grifo de agua filtrada quede bien
asentada contra la superficie de montaje.
3. Si es necesario taladrar, haga un orificio de 1-1/4 pulg.
(32 mm) de di6metro, como minimo, sobre la superficie de
montaje para el grifo.
INSTALE LA BASE DEL GRIFO
1. Encuentre la base del grifo (vea la Fig. 5) y haga pasar los
pernos de palanca hacia abajo por el orificio hasta que la
base del grifo se apoye horizontalmente sobre la superficie de
montaje (el fregadero o la encimera).
La empaquetadura de caucho debe quedar entre la base del
grifo y la superficie de montaje.
2. Apriete los pernos de palanca hasta que la base del grifo
quede firmemente montada sobre la superficie. No apriete
excesivamente.
CONECTE EL TUBO AZUL AL GRIFO
1. Coloque la caja del filtro avanzado de dos etapas para agua
potable debajo del fregadero. Puede apoyarse verticalmente
o sobre un costado.
2. Encuentre el tubo azul. Un extremo se acopla a la caja del fil-
tro. Haga pasar el otto extremo hacia arriba por el orificio de
montaje y la base del grifo. Vea la Figura 6.
3. Consulte la secci6n titulada "Corte los tubos a la medida"
en la p6gina 8, y corte el tubo azul en c_ngulo recto yen la
Iongitud necesaria, dejando aproximadamente 6pulgadas
(15 cm) por encima de la base del grifo.
4. Encuentre el grifo. Consulte la secci6n titulada "Conecte los
tubos" en la p6gina 8 e inserte totalmente el tubo azul en la
uni6n de conexi6n r6pida de 3/8 pulg. de la parte inferior
del grifo.
5. Tire del tubo para comprobar que quede firmemente acopla-
do a la uni6n.
INSTALE EL GRIFO SOBRE LA BASE
1. Apoye el grifo sobre la base. Vea la Figura 7.
2. Haga girar el grifo 1/4 de vuelta a la derecha para acoplar-
Io a la base.
3. Instale la bateria en la base del grifo. (Consulte la secci6n tit-
ulada "Cambie la bateria" en la p6gina 9.) Luego prosiga con
el Paso 3 de la instalaci6n en la p_gina 8.

SUMINISTRODEAGUA
1. Encuentre el tuba amarillo. Un extremo se acopla a la caja
del filtro. Tienda el otro extremo hasta la uni6n para sumin-
istro de agua en la tuberia de agua fria. Vea la Figura 8.
2. Consulte m6s abajo la secci6n titulada "Carte los tubas a la
medida", y carte el tuba amarillo en 6ngulo recto yen la
Iongitud necesaria.
3. Consulte m6s abajo la secci6n titulada "Conecte los tubas",
e inserte totalmente el tuba amarillo en la uni6n de conexi6n
r6pida de 3/8 pulg. de la uni6n para suministro de agua
(instalada en el Paso 1).
4. Tire del tuba para comprobar que quede firmemente
acoplado a la uni6n.
COMa CORTAR Y CONECTAR LOS TUBAS
El filtro avanzado de dos etapas para agua potable incluye
uniones de presi6n para la conexi6n r6pida de los tubas. Antes
de conectar los tubas, examine los siguientes instrucciones.
Carte los tubas a la rnedida
1. Use un cortador o cuchillo filoso para cortar el extremo del
tuba. Siempre carte el tuba en 6ngulo recto. Vea la Figura 9.
2. Inspeccione el extremo del tuba (aproximadamente de
1 pulg. o 25 mm) para cerciorarse de que no haya mellas,
raspaduras ni ninguna otra secci6n despareja. Si es nece-
sario, vuelva a cortar el tuba.
Conecte los tubas
1. Haga pasar el tuba par el collarin, hasta que se acople al
aro t6rico. Vea la Figura 10. Siga empujando el tuba hasta
que sobresalga par la parte posterior de la uni6n. Vea la
Figura 11.Un error com6n es dejar de empujar cuando el tuba
se acopla al aro t6rico. Eso producir6 fugas en el futuro.
Cuando un tuba de 3/8 pulg. est6 totalmente acoplado,
3/4 pulg. del tuba ha entrado en la uni6n. Vea las Figuras 10
y11.
2. Si usa alg6n tuba que no es el incluido en el sistema, cer-
ci6rese de que sea de alta calidad, de exactamente el
mismo tama_o y redondez, y que la superficie sea lisa.
Para desconecte los tubas
1. Empuje el collarin hacia dentro con la punta de un dedo.
Vea la Figura 12.
2. Siga manteniendo el collarin apretado hacia dentro mientras
tira del tuba hacia fuera. Vea la Figura 13.
