5. Connecting the Tee to the Filter
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the free port on the tee with the inlet of the filter (inlet and outlet
are marked "IN" and "OUT" on cap). Measure the tubing short enough to prevent kinking. Cut the tubing squarely
between the closest set of black guide arrows. Insert one end of the tubing into the tee and the other end into the inlet fit-
ting. Push tubing into fitting until it stops.
NOTE: When cut between a set of black guide arrows, the tubing should be pushed into the fitting so that the entrance of
the fitting falls between the next set of guide arrows (approximately
6. Connecting the Filter to the Faucet
Thread quick-connect faucet fitting onto faucet stem until hand-tight, then tighten
length of plastic tubing needed to connect the outlet of the filter with the quick-connect fitting on the faucet. Measure the
tubing short enough to prevent kinking. Cut the tubing squarely between the closest set of black guide arrows. Insert one
end of the tubing into the outlet fitting and the other end into the faucet fitting. Push tubing into fitting until it stops.
7. Putting the Filter into Operation
Turn on the water supply to allow filter to fill with water, then press the red pressure-relief button on top of the filter to
release trapped air. Check for leaks before leaving installation.
NOTE:
• A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation and before using the
filtered water, flush the cartridge by running water through it for 5 minutes to remove the fines.
• It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
8. Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect
Fittings
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require that you disconnect the tubing from the filter cap or other
quick-connect fittings. However, tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the fittings if necessary. First, turn off the
water supply to the filter and open faucet to drain the pipes. Then simply depress the collar
(A) around opening of the fitting while pulling the tubing
(B) with your other hand.
