Instructions / Assembly

3. Connecting the Faucet to the System
A. Locate the cold water supply hose that was disconnected
from the cold water shut off valve in Step 1.
B. Attach the new 3/8" compression male tting to the end of
the cold water supply hose. Caution not to overtighten.
Finger tight plus one turn with a wrench is recommended.
C. Determine the length of plastic blue tubing needed to
connect to the outlet (right) side of the lter from the faucet.
Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the
tubing squarely. Use a marker to mark one end of the tubing
5/8" from the end (Figure 3). Wet the end of the 3/8" tube and
push into the outlet (right) connection of the system up to the
mark.
CAUTION
Do not bend or crimp tube inserting.
D. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected
properly.
4. Connecting to the Supply Adapter
A. Determine the length of plastic white tubing needed to
connect the inlet (left) side of the lter with the supply
adapter installed on the cold water supply line. Be sure to
allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing
squarely. Place a mark 5/8" from one end of the tubing. Wet
the end of the tubing. Insert the end of the tubing into the
3/8" tting of the inlet supply adapter. The 5/8" mark should
be ush with the collar of the tting located on the inlet
supply adapter (Figure 4a).
B. Mark the remaining end of the tubing. Use a marker to mark
5/8" from the end. Wet the end of the tube. Insert the end into
the feed connection on the inlet side (left) of the system.
The tube should go in up to the mark. (Figure 4b).
5. Placing the System into Operation
A. Slowly turn on the cold water supply.
B. Open faucet and ush lter for 10 minutes. Discard water.
C. Check for leaks at all ttings before leaving installation.
If leaks appear, see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon nes
(very ne black powder). If carbon nes appear in the
water, discard water. More ushing is required if carbon
nes are present.
NOTE: Initially, ltered water may appear cloudy. If cloudiness
in a glass of water disappears from the bottom; ne
air bubbles are present. This air within the water will
disappear within a few weeks after installation.
