Overview
Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Water Treatment system.
The Premier WP-2 LCV water treatment system contains a heavy duty lead, cyst, and VOC reducing carbon block filter.
This specialty formulated block is capable of reducing lead, cysts as well as harmful Chemicals. It is estimated that
VOC’s are present in one-fifth of the nation’s water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from
a variety of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel
tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning industry. See performance data sheet for indi-
vidual contaminants and reduction performance.
System Maintenance
Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Many contaminants in the drinking water are unde-
tectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter elements, other bad tastes and odors will be
apparent in your drinking water. This is why it is important to change your filters at the recommended intervals as indi-
cated in this system manual.
When replacing any of the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further
questions please refer to our web site at www.PremierH2o.com or call our customer service department at 1-800-752-
5582.

Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diame-
ter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges
be removed before inserting into fitting.
Make certain to push the tubing completely into the con-
nector until it comes into contact with the internal tubing
stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which
hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a
permanent leak proof seal.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good
practice to test the system prior to leaving the site and/or
before use.
To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before
removing the tube. Push in collet squarely against the face
of the fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube
can be removed. The fitting can then be reused.

Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink
NOTICE For Marble Counter-tops, we recommend contacting a qualified contractor for drilling a hole in a
marble counter-top.
Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1½” or 1¼” diameter hole that you can use for your Drinking Water faucet.
(If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 1).
NOTICE Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily. Use extreme caution when
drilling. Watts accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.
Diamond tip bit recommended.
Step 1: Determine desired location for the RO faucet on your sink and place a
piece of masking tape over where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the center
of the hole on the tape.
Step 2 : Using a variable speed drill set on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8“ pilot hole
through both porcelain and metal casing of sink at the marked center of
the desired location. Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit
cool (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip).
Step 3: Using a 1/2” diamond tip hole saw, proceed to drill the large hole. Keep
drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to
keep the hole saw cool during cutting.
Step 4: After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make sure the surroundings of
the sink are cooled before mounting the faucet.
Or Punch a Hole for the Faucet in a Stainless Steel Sink
NOTICE If mounting faucet to a Stainless Steel Sink you will need a 1⁄2” Hole Punch. The faucet opening
should be centered between the back splash and the edge of the sink, ideally on the same side
as the vertical drain pipe.
Step 1: Drill a ¼” pilot hole. Use a 1⁄2” Hole Punch and an adjustable wrench to
punch the hole in the sink.
Step 2: The Faucet can now be installed

Faucet Installation
Gather and identify the faucet pieces
Step 5: Place the escutcheon plate and the black rubber washer on the threaded stem. (Parts found in faucet
parts bag).
Step 6: Insert the threaded stem through the hole in sink and let it rest on the sink top.
Step 7: From the underside of the sink, slide on the black locating washer, lock washer, and nut onto the
threaded stem. Check the orientation of faucet then tighten the nut securely
Step 8: Locate the 1/4” blue that is attached to the right side of the filter system. Grab the following parts from
the faucet parts bag and place onto the end of the tube: the brass nut, plastic sleeve (small tapered end
of sleeve must point to the end of tube), and then insert the plastic insert all the way into the end of the
tube.
Step 9: Push the assembled tube into the threaded stem until it stops. Slide the compression nut and plastic
sleeve until you can thread the nut onto the faucet. Use a wrench to securely tighten the compression
nut while continuing to push the tube into the faucet.

Step 10: Turn off the cold water supply to the faucet by turning the angle stop valve completely off.
Step 11: Open cold water sink faucet to relieve pressure.
Step 12: Choosing the configuration that fits your plumbing, attach the Adapt-A-Valve™ as illustrated in the
diagrams above.
NOTICE Make sure that the black collet is installed in to the 1/4” opening on the Adapt-a-valve. Don’t
forget to install the white compression washer with the 3/8” configuration. The Brass Adapters
do not need to be tightened with a wrench, only finger tight.
Green Tube Connection
Step 13: Locate the 1/4” green tube attached to the left side of the filter system
and insert into the 1/4” quick connect fitting on the plastic Adapt-A-
Valve. Make sure to push the tube all the way to the tube stop.
