Use and Care Manual

④ Installing the tubing (check Quick Tips for using Quick-fitting)
4.1 Connect the blue tubing with AFW, red tubing with 1st stage, white tubing with 4th stage.
4.2 Check water route: cold water valve -> blue tubing -> drinking faucet valve -> red tubing -> 1,2,3,4
stages -> white tubing -> drinking faucet.
⑤ System startup
5.1 With a towel or bucket underneath, slowly turn on the Cold Water Valve, feel the vibration and noise
of the water flow. If your water pressure is high, DO NOT turn the Inlet Water Valve all the way up,
but sparingly to a level position.
5.2 If it leaks, check if the tubing is fully inserted into quick-fittings, and that the nuts and cartridges are
properly tightened.
5.3 Turn on the Drinking Faucet. Water should start flowing. Let it run for 5 - 15 minutes or until carbon
particles are flushed out and water turns clear. The water filter is now ready for use. Write down the
current date on cartridge for future reference. The cartridge set has a capacity of 1,100 gallons or a
life span of about 6 – 9 months depending on water quality and usage.
⑥ Filter Replacement
6.1 Turn off the inlet water ball valve (COLD), and open the kitchen and drinking faucets to release
pressure.
6.2 With a towel or bucket underneath, twist the filter cartridge wrench counterclockwise to remove, and
immediately put the replacement back on. Work in the order from the 1
st
stage to the 4
th
stage,
which is from right to left when facing the front label of the machine head.

2. Incorrect tubing connections
3. Drinking faucet is off
1. Check water source
2. Check the tubing connections
3. Check the faucet
Slow water
flow
1. Water pressure lower than 20 psi
2. Filter cartridges are due for
replacement
3. 1st stage is clogged by sediments
1. Open kitchen faucet to check cold
water pressure
2. Check the installation date and
replacement schedule
3. A whole-house sediment filter is
