Proper Installation

Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.
NOTICE
This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the
filter and water leakage.
Precautions:
For cold water use only.
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the Filter System be flushed thoroughly. Let water
run for 10 minutes before using.
The QuickTwist ® Filter used with this Filter System have a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being
filtered indicate that the filters should be replaced.

Before You Begin

Check under the sink to locate a solid wall surface to mount the Filter System.

NOTE: The Filter System must be mounted in a vertical position.
Locate the cold water pipe under your sink and observe if it is a flexible hose or a rigid pipe (ex: plastic, metal, copper). Rigid pipes

may require cutting in order to make adequate space to install the Kitchen Faucet Adapter (see Step 2). Also determine if you have
all appropriate tools, fasteners and adapters to fit your plumbing.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.

If you plan to install your QuickTwist ® WFDW13000 Series direct to your kitchen faucet please skip to page 9.

NOTICE
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain
or cast iron sink, the faucet must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop
next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make certain that the area below the drilling
location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sufficient room to make the proper
connections to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE
THAN 1" IN THICKNESS OR COUNTERTOPS MADE OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE OR SIMILAR
SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for assistance.
