Easy System Operation
Your filter is designed for years of enjoyment and incor-
porates proven filtration methods designed to protect
you from contaminants that may be in your drinking
water. Whether you want to improve your water’s
taste or have concerns about substances that it may
contain, your Plumbline Drinking Water Filter is on
the job providing you clean, Plumbline water on
demand.
Operating your filter is a snap. Simply activate the special
drinking water faucet that came with the system to draw as much Plumbline
water as you need. When you are finished, turn off the faucet to stop the water
flow.
Automatic Shutoff – Maximum Security for Your Water
Your Plumbline Drinking Water Filter is equipped with a special filter monitoring
device that offers you ultimate protection by measuring the volume of water the
unit has filtered and initiating a shutdown* after 500 gallons (1900 liters), about a
year’s worth of drinking water for an average family of four. Without the automatic
shutoff, filters can be overused and lose their filtration ability. The automatic shu-
toff feature ensures you and your family will get only the best water. And chang-
ing your filter cartridge is quick and easy. Just follow the step-by-step instructions
that come with each replacement cartridge. If you are unsure how to install a new
cartridge, contact your plumbing contractor for assistance.
Filter Life Indicator
Your system is equipped with a filter life indicator so you can tell how much ca-
pacity remains in your filter cartridge. Use the filter life indicator to estimate when
to purchase a replacement cartridge so you will be prepared when the failsafe
automatic shutoff feature shuts down the system.

How To Use Clean, Plumbline Water
Since Plumbline water tastes great, not only will you want to drink it, but you’ll
love using it in almost everything that requires water.
Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your
Plumbline drinking water:
Let your taste buds decide how much Plumbline water to use.
When mixing concentrated juices and drinks or mak-
ing gelatin, tea or coffee, you may need to adjust
the amount of water you use. You may discover
that you can use less coffee and tea and still get
the desired taste. Or in the case of concentrated
drinks, you can add more Plumbline water without
getting a watered down taste since most taste-
masking chemicals have been reduced from your
water.
Plumbline water is ideal for cooking and baking.
Don’t forget to use Plumbline water for cooking pasta, and washing fruits and
vegetables. Whenever a recipe calls for water, reach for your special drinking
water faucet.
Make ice cubes with Plumbline water.
If your refrigerator / freezer is equipped with an ice maker, you may want to
consider running a line from your Plumbline Drinking Water Filter to it. If you
don’t have an ice maker, be sure to fill your ice cube trays with Plumbline wa-
ter. Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy better tasting and clearer ice cubes.
Houseplants and pets like Plumbline water, too.
Don’t forget about your plants and pets. Just like
you, they’ll love Plumbline water.

Plumbline Total Water Management
Plumbline believes in the total water management approach to home water treat-
ment. Total water management ensures that all of the water in a home is opti-
mized for each use. Water can be divided into three categories:
Source Water:
Raw, untreated water that can be used for outdoor
maintenance such as watering lawns, etc.
Working Water:
Clean, conditioned water that can be used for clean-
ing, bathing, washing dishes, doing laundry, etc.
Drinking Water:
High quality, filtered water for drinking and food preparation.
Make sure your home is using the best water. Visit us online at
