WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
waters that may contain filterable cysts.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause
structural damage and water leakage.
CAUTION
To prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, it is strongly
recommended that the filter head assembly be replaced every ten years. If
the filter head assembly has been in use for longer than ten years, it should
be replaced immediately. Date the top of any new filter head assembly to
indicate the next recommended replacement date.
CAUTION
Turn off water supply to head if left unattended for an
extended period of time.
CAUTION
Do not use electrical heating tape on this product.
NOTE:
For cold water use only.
•
This installation must comply with all applicable state and
•
local regulations.
The contaminants or other substances reduced by this water treatment
•
device are not necessarily in your potable drinking water. Contact the
local water treatment municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or
have the feed water tested by a reputable water-testing laboratory.
After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it is
•
recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for
2-3 minutes before using.
The filter cartridges used with this system have a limited service life.
•
Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water being filtered
indicate that the cartridges should be replaced.
Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning fluids, etc.) near the
•
system. These materials contain petroleum derivatives that cause
crazing and cracking of the system's plastic components.

INSTALLATION INSTRuCTIONS
1. Water Supply Connection
The inlet supply adapter fits 1/2-inch 14 NPS
threads. If local codes permit, it may be used to
connect the system to the cold water supply line.
NOTE: If local codes do not permit the use of the
inlet supply adapter, alternate connectors can be
obtained from your local retailer.
A) Turn off the cold water supply. If the cold water
line does not have a shut-off valve under the
sink, one should be installed.
B)
Open the cold water faucet and allow water to
drain from line.
C)
Disconnect the cold water line from the 1/2-inch
14 NPS threaded stub of the faucet.
D)
Apply Teflon ® tape onto the faucet threads and
the inlet supply adapter threads. Install the inlet
supply adapter onto the faucet stub.
E) Using the nut that previously connected the
cold water line to the faucet, install the cold
water line to the male threads of the inlet
supply adapter.

2. Faucet Location Selection
CAUTION
This procedure may generate dust that
can cause severe irritation if inhaled or if it comes
into contact with the eyes. The use of safety glasses
and a respirator is recommended for this procedure.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drill through an
all porcelain sink. Instead, mount the faucet in a
pre-drilled sprayer hole or mount the faucet
through the countertop.
CAUTION
When drilling through a countertop,
ensure that the area beneath the area to be drilled
is clear from wiring or piping. Ensure that there is
enough clearance to connect the cold inlet supply
line to the bottom of the faucet.
CAUTION
Do not drill through a surface that is more
than 1 inch thick.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled,
marbled, granite or similar countertop. Consult a
plumber or the countertop manufacturer for advice
or assistance.
