5. Connecting the Faucet
A. Thread flow control onto threaded stem of faucet. (Do not use
Plumber tape or sealant.) Tighten flow control hand tight. Finish
tightening with a wrench an additional 1/2 turn, do not overtighten.
B. Insert one end of the 1/4-inch tube, supplied in the installation
kit, into the quick-connect fitting collar located on the bottom
of the flow control on the faucet. Push tubing into the fitting
approximately 5/8-inch until you come to a hard stop. (Do not bend
or crimp tube when inserting.)
Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected properly. If
the tube comes out of fitting, cut a small section of the tube off
and reconnect.
NOTE: Disconnecting the tubing from the quick-connect fittings.
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require that you
disconnect the tubing from the filter system; however, tubing may be
quickly and easily removed from the fitting if necessary. First, turn off the
water supply to the filter. Open faucet, then press in the collar around the
tube while pulling the tubing with your other hand.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
A. Locate remaining length of 1/4-inch plastic tubing. Place a mark on
the tubing 5/8-inch from the end. Moisten the end of the tubing with
water and insert with a twisting motion push into quick connect fitting
on the left side of system. Depending on the installation, the system
may need to be removed from the mounting surface to access the left
side of the system.
B. Cut the tube to a length that will allow connection to the Water Supply
Adapter. Ensure the tubing does not kink. Place a mark on the tubing
5/8-inch from the end. Moisten the end of the tubing with water and
insert with a twisting motion push into quick connect fitting on the
Water Supply Adapter.
7. Connecting the System
A. Assemble tubing with system as shown in Figure 7, inserting supply
adapter tubing into inlet and faucet tubing into outlet quick-connect
fitting approximately 5/8-inch until it stops.
NOTE: In some installations, connecting the system to the water supply
adapter and/or drinking water faucet causes the tubing to enter the quick-
connect fitting at a sharp angle. This may exert pressure on the quick-
connect fitting and cause it to leak. If sharp angles at the connections
are unavoidable, please contact OMNIFILTER Customer Service at
800.279.9404.
8. Putting the System into Operation
A. Slowly turn on cold water supply.
B. Lift up drinking water faucet handle to lock faucet in open position.
Allow water to run for 5 minutes to flush air and carbon fines from filter
cartridges. Check system for leaks before leaving installation. If there
are any leaks, see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to
using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
NOTE: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If you set a glass of water
on a level surface, you should be able to watch the cloudiness disappear
from the bottom of the glass upwards. This harmless cloudiness results
from the release of trapped air within the cartridge and will disappear
within a few weeks after installation.
NOTE: The drinking water faucet can be operated by pushing the handle
down to fill a glass. Pull up on the handle to lock it in position to fill larger
containers.
INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.
