Installation Guide
Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen 
sink (the round or oblong handle on the right side). 
Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning 
the shut off handle clockwise.
Note: If the cold water shut off valve cannot turn 
off the water, the main water supply to the house 
must be shut off for the installation.
Turn the faucet handle to the ON position of cold wa-
ter side to release the remaining water and relief the 
built-up pressure inside the system.
Hold on to the system and remove the filter by turning 
Clockwise and gently pull down to remove the filters. 
To prevent spills, hold the filter in an upright position. 
Lay the old filter on a towel to absorb any water that 
drips out.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The system requires very little maintenance. Just change the filter cartridges regularly 
as indicated on the filter label (Replacement time may vary based on the condition 
of source water). Keep the system indoors away from extreme heat or cold tempera-
tures, and run the system within its reasonable output capacity (i.e. allow the system 
to rest at least a few hours a day).
To properly maintain your APEC water filtration system, please use only genuine APEC
