5. Connecting the Faucet
A) Thread flow control onto threaded stem of faucet (do not
use Teflon 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.
C) 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 grey
collar around the fitting while pulling the tubing with your
other hand.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
A) Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet
(left) side of the filter with the supply adapter. Be sure to allow
enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely.
Place a mark 5/8 inch from the end of the tubing.
B) Wet tubing with water and insert into supply adapter 5/8 inch
until mark is flush with fitting.
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 800.937.6664.
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.
