Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury and property damage, you must read this entire guide before assembling,

installing, and operating the ﬁltration system.

• Installation needs to comply with state and local laws and regulations.

• Product must be installed indoors. Do NOT use outdoors.

• Use only the hoses supplied with the unit; old hoses should not be reused.

• Keep the product in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Do NOT store in or expose the product to temperatures lower than 32 °F (0 °C). The ideal temperature

range is 39–100 °F (4–38 °C).

• Keep the product away from heat sources or open ﬂames.

• Do NOT place unit near strong magnetic devices, as this may cause the ﬁlter life indicator to fail.

• Do NOT immerse the product in water or other liquids.

• Do NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection

before or after the product.

• The product is suitable for municipal tap water. The best working pressure for this product is 30–100 psi.

If the water pressure is unstable, install a pressure reducing valve at the water inlet for the product.

• The design life of the product is 5 years. Replace the whole unit when the life expires.

• To ensure the health of you and your family, regularly replace the ﬁlters.

• In case of a water outage or pipeline maintenance, close the water inlet valve; otherwise, the service life

of the ﬁlter may be aected. When re-supplying water, turn on the faucet and allow the water to run for 10minutes before dispensing.

• The ﬂow rate will decrease when the ambient temperature is low, which is an inherent characteristic of

the ﬁlter.

• Service should be performed only by a certiﬁed technician. Never remove any parts to avoid leakage

or damage.

Intended Use

This ﬁltration system is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• Sta kitchen areas in shops, oces, and other working environments

• Farm houses

• Hotels, motels, and other residential type environments

This system is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the system by a person responsible for their safety.

Installation

1� Connect to the Cold Water Supply

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THIS WATER LINE TO A HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE. The water supply to the

unit MUST be from the COLD WATER LINE. Using HOT WATER will severely damage the ﬁlters.

A� Turn o the cold water supply valve.

B� Turn on the existing faucet to release the water

pressure.

NOTE: Make sure the water has completely

drained before proceeding to the next step. Use a towel or bucket to catch any excess water.

C� Using an adjustable wrench, disconnect the cold

water pipe from the cold water supply valve.

NOTE: If the cold water pipe is 1/2in., unscrew the

converter(9) from the A end of the feed water adapter (K), and then screw it on the B end of the feed water adapter(K).

D� Tighten the converter (9).

E� Twist the feed water adapter(K) onto the cold

water supply valve and tighten it using an adjustable wrench.

F� Twist the cold water pipe to the top of the feed

water adapter(K) and tighten it using an adjustable wrench.

G� Insert the one end of the white inlet water

tubing(6) into the quick connector on the feed water adapter(K) and pop in the lock clip (L) on the ﬁtting.

H� Gently tug on the white inlet water tubing(6) to

ensure a secure connection with the ﬁtting.

2� Install the Filtration Faucet

NOTE: If there is no hole in the sink or countertop

for the ﬁltration faucet stem, drill a 1in. hole or use the hole for the soap dispenser.

A� Insert the faucet stem(10) through the O-ring (11)

and into the hole in the sink or countertop.

B� Under the sink, slide the rubber washer(12) onto

the faucet stem(10). Slide on the locking nut (13) and hand tighten to ensure the faucetis secured to the countertop or sink.

C� Insert one end of the connector (14) onto the base

of the faucet stem (10) and pop a lock clip (L) around the collet.

D� Insert one end of the blue outlet water tubing (6)

into the other end of the connector (14) and pop a lock clip (L) around the collet. Gently tug on the blue tubing to ensure a secure connection.

3� Make the Connections

A� Insert the other end of the white inlet water

tubing(6) into the water inlet end of the ﬁlter housing (C). If needed to accommodate the angle, use the quick coupling (I) provided.

B� Insert the other end of the blue outlet water

tubing(7) into the water outlet end of the ﬁlter housing (C). If needed to accommodate the angle, use the quick coupling (I) provided.

A� Lift o the top cover (A) of the ﬁlter housing and

remove the transparent cover plate(B).

B� Insert the battery (E) into the indicator panel(D).

The positive side of the battery should be facing outward.

C� Reassemble the transparent cover plate(B) and

the top cover(A).

5� Flush the System

CAUTION: Do NOT drink water from your new

system until you have completed the suggested ﬂushing process.

A� Turn on the ﬁltration faucet ﬁrst, and then turn on

the cold water supply valve(3).

B� Allow the water to run for 10minutes.

NOTE: Since the ﬁlter material contains granular

activated carbon, it is normal that the water is black when dispensing for the ﬁrst time.

C� Turn o the ﬁltration faucet and wait for one hour.

While waiting, monitor the system for any leaks.

D� Turn on the ﬁltration faucet again and allow the

water to run for another 10minutes to completely ﬂush the system.

E� Check again for leaks. If there are no leaks, the

ﬁltration faucet is ready for use.

Indicator Panel Description

The indicator panel is used to indicate ﬁlter life.

• The red LED (15) on the indicator panel ﬂashes to indicate

the ﬁlter life has expired.

• If the faucet is turned on while the red LED(15) is ﬂashing,

the unit will beep as a reminder. The unit will stop beeping after turning o the faucet.

• If the faucet is on and runs continuously for >30minutes,

the unit will beep as a reminder to turn the faucet o. The unit will stop beeping after turning o the faucet.

Maintenance

Replace the Filters

Replace the ﬁlters every 6 to 12 months or 950gallons (3600liters), whichever comes ﬁrst. The red LED light on the indicator panel ﬂashes to indicate the ﬁlter life has expired.

1� Turn o the cold water supply valve.

2� Turn on the ﬁltration faucet to drain the

system.

NOTE: Remove the ﬁlters sequentially; stage1

sediment ﬁlter (1) ﬁrst, then stage 2 pre carbon ﬁlter(2), and then stage 3 ultraﬁltration ﬁlter (3).

3� Remove the ﬁlter by rotating counterclockwise

90° and then pulling downwards.

NOTE: Install the new ﬁlters in reverse

sequence; stage 3 ultraﬁltration ﬁlter, stage 2 pre carbon ﬁlter, and then stage 1 sediment ﬁlter.

4� Insert the new ﬁlter into the housing, being

sure to align grooves. Firmly push ﬁlter in, then rotate clockwise 90°. The arrow on the ﬁlter should align with the ∆ mark on the ﬁlter housing as shown, and the ﬁlter should be securely locked in place.

5� To ensure normal operation, replace the

battery every time you replace the ﬁlter. See “Replace the Battery” on page 11.

6� Flush the new ﬁlters before use.

See “5. Flush the System” on page 8.
