Installing the Filter
(4) Unscrew and remove the attachment collar from the
filter body. Slide the collar over the end of the
faucet with threads toward you. Screw the adapter
you have selected into the faucet and tighten
securely (Fig. 4). If the smaller adapter is used,
place the second washer into the adapter before
screwing it into the faucet.
(5) Slide collar over adapter and screw onto filter body
(Fig. 5a).
NOTE: Make sure screen and gasket are installed in
filter body before installing on faucet (Fig. 5b).
(6) Make sure the valve handle is set to one of the
UNFILTERED positions (the filled in drop or multiple
filled-in drops) (Fig. 6a). Turn the filter cartridge
horizontally to the filter body so that the top of the
filter is facing away from you. Insert the stem of the
cartridge into the filter body and tilt the cartridge
upright until it clicks into position (Fig. 6b).
Using the Filter
The Culligan Faucet Mount Filter features a unique 3-way
spray valve handle. Turn on your faucet, then use the
handle to select:
(7) A stream of UNFILTERED tap water
(8) A spray of UNFILTERED tap water
(9) A spray of FILTERED water (cold water only).
NOTE: It is important to flush each new filter cartridge for
10 minutes to remove loose carbon fines (the fines are not
harmful, but should be flushed out before using the filtered
water). Allow filter to flush for three seconds before each use.
CAUTION: Do not filter hot water above 100° (37.8°C).
It will damage the filter cartridge.
Reading the Filter
Life Monitor
When you remove your FM-5 Monitored Faucet Mount
Filter from the box, the monitor display will be blank (in
the "off" position). Install the filter on your faucet, turn on
the faucet, and turn the valve handle to the FILTERED
water position (see diagram under "Using the Filter"). The
monitor will automatically turn itself on. The LED display
should show the word "ON" and 4 hollow water drops (see Fig. 9).
As you continue to use your filter, the 4 hollow drops will begin to fill in, one by
one, from right to left. After 120 gallons have been filtered—approximately 2
months for a typical family of four—the monitor will show all 4 drops filled in
and the monitor display will flash. This indicates that it is time to change the filter
cartridge (see instructions under "Replacing the Filter Cartridge".)
The monitor is operated by a lifetime battery—no replacement necessary. To
maximize the life of your filter monitor DO NOT remove the monitor except when
replacing the filter cartridge.

The replacement cartridge for the FM-5 is the FM-5R.
NOTE: A reduction in flow or pressure of the filtered
water will also require filter replacement.
