The product adopts activated carbon block to provide you with healthy water and
release benecial minerals.Its multistage ltration can reduce harmful substances such
as chlorine, lead, uoride, etc.It can also inhibit the bacteria from building up.The
system is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel to ensure quality and durability, and
the precise design makes it easy to install.The system doesn't need a power supply and
it produces no waste water.You can get both tap water and ltered water by a switch.
Tips: If there is water leakage at the connecting position between the faucet and the
system, it is recommended to use a wrench to assist in tightening the nut on (E), or use
the Teon tape inside the instruction package to avoid leakage.
NOTE: There may be a small amount of black water during the rst use.This is a normal
phenomenon because of the activated carbon.Feel free to use the water after it
becomes clear.
Use Method
1.Switch the lever to the downward direction to get tap water.[Figure 1.3]
2.Switch the lever to the level direction to get pure water.[Figure 1.4]

1. Before the rst use, run water for 3-5 minutes in the "pure water" position. Do not run
water at a temperature higher than 100˚F/38˚C. There may be a small amount of black
water and the sound of water pushing air out of the lter during the rst use. This is a
normal phenomenon because of the active carbon. Feel free to use the water after it

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the ltered water taste weird?
A: The lter is not installed appropriately, or it should be replaced. Please reinstall it in a
correct way. If there is still bad taste, please replace the lter.
Q: Why does the TDS value not lower after ltration?
A: TDS stands for total dissolved solids. It is composed of inorganic salts and a small
amount of organic matter. This system cannot lower the TDS value because it removes
harmful substances while keeping benecial trace elements, which can increase the
TDS value.
Q: Why does water leak between the outlet valve and the faucet?
A: Remove the ltration system from the faucet and check on whether the sealing
gasket at the connection is placed correctly. Ensure that the thread between the faucet
and the ltration system is screwed in rmly so that the sealing gasket can work.
Q: Why is the water leaking or dripping?
A: Check on whether the selected adapter is correct, or whether the adapter sealing
ring and the base sealing ring are installed rmly. Flush the lter for 3-5 minutes to
activate it, and then there will not be water leaking or dripping.
