IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT “TDS METERS” AND TESTERS
Q) When I use a Total Dissolved Particle (TDS) reader to test my water after it goes through the Coral Undercounter Water Filtration System, why don't the levels of dissolved particles go down or decrease? I don’t think the product is working.
The Coral Undercounter Water Filtration System is not designed to remove beneficial minerals from your drinking water. These minerals that occur naturally are a healthy part of your drinking water and should remain. The Brondell Coral Undercounter Water Filtration System is designed to dramatically reduce water-soluble harmful contaminants, including industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, turbidity, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and microorganisms, most of which cannot be "read" with a TDS reader.
Since these harmful components are water-soluble, they cannot be picked up by a simple TDS meter. Contrary to its name (Total Dissolved Solids or TDS Meter), these inexpensive products cannot detect most harmful water-soluble contaminants.
There is a major misconception that low TDS readings mean healthy water and that is simply not always true.
The best method for testing the performance of a water filtration device is to have a nationally recognized independent organization, such as WQA (Water Quality Association) or NSF International, test and certify the products. The certified data is then available in a Performance Data Sheet, which you should request from the
manufacturer. For more clarification of what the Coral Undercounter Water Filtration System does remove from your water, please see our Certified Performance Data Sheets on pages 21-23.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Do not install the Filter Head Connection Asssembly further than 12 feet away from either the water supply valve, or the Indicator Faucet.
Avoid unnecessary slack in the supply hoses when connecting to the water supply, Filter Head Connection Assembly, or Indicator Faucet.
Do not install in direct sunlight, or a place where it will be directly exposed to freezing temperatures.
STEP 1: T-VALVE INSTALLATION
Be sure to install the T-Valve on the cold water supply line. Running hot water through the Coral Water Filtration System will damage the filters.
1. Close the cold water supply valve. Place a bucket, or similar item, underneath the valve to catch any water that may spill out during installation.
2. Unscrew the hose that connects the cold water supply valve to the existing tap water faucet.
3. Ensure the rubber washer is inside the T-Valve, and then screw the T-Valve Adapter onto the cold water supply valve.
NOTE: If the water supply valve is larger than the 3/8” connection on the T-Valve, use the included 1/2”Valve Adapters with Rubber Washers to connect the T-Valve and the water supply hose.
4. Screw the cold water supply hose to the top of the T-Valve. Be sure to keep the water supply valve closed.

STEP 4: INSTALLING THE FILTERS
NOTE: For purchasers of the Coral UC300, it is very important to install the filters in the correct order. Simply match the same label colors to the filter head labels. From left-to-right, the proper order is
1)Sediment filter
2)Pre-Carbon filter
3)Carbon Block filter
1. To insert the filters, first line up the arrow on the filter head with the arrow on the filter
2. With the top and bottom arrows still lined up, insert the top
of the filter into the housing and turn 90 degrees to the right, until the filter will not turn any more.
The Filter Head arrow should |
|
|
now be lined up with the “Circle” |
|
|
icon and notch on the top |
|
|
of the filter. |

STEP 5: CONNECTING THE TUBING
Using "Quick Connectors"
Tube connections on the T-Valve, Filter Head Connection Assembly, and Indicator Faucet are all of the “Quick Connect” variety. The steps below illustrate how to connect and disconnect the Tubes from these connectors.
a. Push the Tube into the Collette. The Collette is a collar that |
a |
provides a secure fit for the Tube and prevents water leaks. |
|
b.Push the Tube in until it stops. The Tube will be secure, and resistant to tugs or pulls. The Collette will be rigid and raised slightly from the connector housing.
c.To disconnect the Tube, push down and hold the Collette first, and then pull the Tube out gently.

FILTERS & FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR
FILTERS
The filters are critical to the performance of the Coral UC Water Filtration system, and it is important to replace all of the filters on a regular basis. If any of the filters are overused beyond the recommended service life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not
miss the filter replacement cycle or use non-compatible filters as this can affect system performance or damage the unit.
Contact Brondell at 888-542-3355, or visit us at www.brondell.com to order replacement filters.
FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR
The LED filter change indicator in the faucet works by tracking both time and water flow from the Coral UC system.
UC300 – When 12 months have elapsed or 600 gallons of water has been filtered through the system (whichever comes first), the LED will flash red when dispensing water instead of flashing blue.
UC100 – When 6 months have elapsed or 300 gallons of water has been filtered through the system (whichever comes first), the LED will flash red when dispensing water instead of flashing blue.
When the faucet LED indicator begins to flash red, it’s now time to change the filters and reset the faucet indicator by replacing the battery.
A new battery is always included with the UF-35, or UF-15 filter replacement set.

1 These harmonized values were agreed upon by representatives of USEPA and Health Canada for the purpose of |
|
evaluating products to the requirements of this Standard. |
|
2 Influent challenge levels are average influent concentrations determined in surrogate qualification testing. |
|
3 Maximum product water level was not observed but was set at the detection limit of the analysis. |
|
4 Maximum product water level is set at a value determined in surrogate qualification testing. |
|
5 Chemical reduction percent and maximum product water level calculated at chloroform 95% breakthrough |
|
point as determined in surrogate qualification testing. |
|
6 The surrogate test results for heptachlor epoxide demonstrated a 98% reduction. These data were used to |
|
calculate an upper occurrence concentration which would produce a maximum product water level at the MCL. |
