1. Unpack Contents

Package contains:

(1) Filter Housing Assembly

(2) Threaded Cartridge Caps A & B and O-rings (pre-installed)

(2) Filter Catridges A & B (pre-installed)

(1) Faucet Diverter Hose Assembly

(2) Brass Faucet Adapters, Rubber Washers and Installation Tool

2. Remove Existing Aerator

from your faucet and also remove the washer if it’s attached to the faucet.

3. Attach the Faucet Diverter Valve

onto the faucet (Figure 1). If one of the supplied adapters is required, install

the adapter to the faucet first with the supplied washer and then attach the

diverter to the adapter. The adapters are designed so that they can be

tightened using the supplied white plastic hex tool. Make sure the rubber

washer is in place inside the chrome swivel collar on the diverter valve. The

provided adapters fit 95% of all faucets. If the adapters do not fit, you can

obtain additional sizes from your hardware or plumbing supply store. Take

aerator and diverter hose for a correct match.

4. Turn the Filter Housing Over

so that the hose outlet notch is facing up. Install the inlet hose to cap A by

pushing the plastic elbow firmly into the inlet hole as shown in Figure 2.

(To determine which hose is the inlet hose, hold the hose ends so they are

pointing into the sink, turn on the water supply and pull the activator button

on the diverter valve. The hose end that the water comes out of is the

inlet hose and should connect to the inlet fitting on cap A.) Connect the

outlet hose to cap B in the same fashion. If you need to disconnect either

hose after they have been inserted into the inlet/outlet connections, just

depress the gray release collet while pulling out on the hose end and elbow

(you can use a butter knife to help depress the gray collet).

5. Flush and activate the Filter

Turn filter unit up0right and place in your preferred position, turn on the cold

water supply and pull the round activator button on the diverter valve so that

water is diverted to the filter. The initial flow of water will be slightly discolored

and cloudy due to carbon fines and air bubbles. Allow the water to flow

through the filter in this position until the water runs clear, this will usually

take 10 minutes depending on your water pressure. Once the water appears

clear and free of air bubbles you may drink and enjoy!

NOTE: For the first 72 hours the faucet will drip intermittently, until the

filters become fully saturated. Once they are saturated, you should

anticipate a residual flow of water each time you use the filter, as

the system is vented and designed to self-clear the line.

IMPORTANT: This product cannot be used in constant pressure appli-

cations such as ice-makers or fountains.
