STEP 6
Install Twist-Lock Filters
Note: When viewing the system from the front, the Carbon Block cartridges
should be positioned on the left and in the center. The Hollow Fiber
Membrane should be positioned on the right.
1. Hold each cartridge with the label facing to the left slightly. The
two nozzles on the top of each cartridge should be toward the back
of the cartridge. See diagram.
2. Lift each cartridge straight up into the system head until the two
nozzles seat into the ports and the two extended flanges on top of
cartridge are fully engaged into the system head.
3. Turn each cartridge counter-clockwise until it stops.
STEP 7
Test the Filter System for Proper Operation
1. Turn on the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
2. Turn on the new faucet for filtered water. Allow the water to run for approximately 10 minutes in order for the
filter system to flush out any air and carbon fines (fine black powder from each cartridge).
3. Check for any leaks between the system head assembly and filters, on kitchen faucet adaptor connection,
around all fittings and on faucet/tubing connection.
If there are leaks between the system head assembly and the cartridge(s):
Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system and turn on the faucet for filtered water to release pres-
sure and drain the water.
Remove each cartridge and inspect the o-rings around the nozzles ensuring they are in place and free from dirt
and particles.
Turn off the faucet for filtered water.
Replace each cartridge as indicated in Step 6.
Turn the cold water supply valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
If there are leaks around the fittings:
To release pressure, turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system.
Press on the grey collar around the inlet and/or outlet fitting while pulling the tubing with one hand. Ensure the
tubing is cut squarely and is not scratched. If the tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, trim 1/2” to 5/8” and re-
install per Step 5.
Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
If there are leaks on the kitchen faucet adaptor connection:
To release pressure, turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system.
Identify the kitchen faucet adaptor:
If the tubing is leaking, follow “If there are leaks around the fittings” instructions above.
If the thread between the kitchen faucet adaptor and the kitchen faucet stem is leaking, tighten further. If
leaking continues, disconnect the tubing and remove the kitchen faucet adaptor. Wrap the kitchen faucet
adaptor and the threaded faucet stem with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2).
If the thread between the kitchen faucet adaptor and the cold water supply line is leaking, tighten further. If
leaking continues, disconnect the tubing and remove the kitchen faucet adaptor. Wrap the kitchen faucet
adaptor and the cold water supply line with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2).
Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
