Before You Begin
CB Tech Drinking Water Systems (DWS) have been extensively tested and
certied by NSF International to provide the highest level of assurance
that the device will perform as claimed. Please read this manual before
proceeding with the installation and use of your system. Installation,
operation, and maintenance requirements are essential to the performance
of your system – failure to follow any instructions or operating parameters
contained herein may lead to product damage or product failure.
• Replacement lters can be purchased from the Dealer where the Water
Guardian was originally purchased.
• Actual lter life depends on the amount of water used and the level of
impurities in the water. See section Regarding Filter Capacity (Pg 8) for
additional details.
• The Water Guardian is not intended for use with microbiologically
unsafe water or non-municipally-treated water. Systems certied for
cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
lterable cysts. See section Frequently Asked Questions (Pg 17) for
additional details.
• Do not allow water to freeze in the system. If the system is exposed to
freezing temperatures, drain water from the system and remove the
lter. Allow the lter to thaw before replacing and reusing.
• Do not allow water to sit in the system for extended periods of time
(e.g., 10 days or more) without use. See section Flushing / Disinfecting
The System (Pg 10) for additional details.
• To dispose of the used lter, remove it from the housing and place
in normal refuse. Filters disposed in a normal landll will not release
any chemical contaminants and may continue to adsorb additional
contaminants in the landll.
• Check for compliance with any state or local laws and regulations
before use.

Installation
Inspect Your Drinking Water System
1. Inspect your DWS to conrm that it has been received in good condition
and that all parts are included.
2. Determine a countertop location for system placement, factoring in
distance to the faucet for diverter valve and hose connection.
3. Inspect the system housing to conrm that the housing top and bottom
are securely connected.
a. With the system sitting upright, slide the hand tool over the top so
that the ridges on the tool t into the grooves on the housing top.
b. While holding the system base in place, rmly turn the hand tool
clockwise to tighten the housing top.
Connect The Hose To The Housing
1. On the diverter valve and hose, locate the
two stems at the end of the hose opposite the
diverter valve. Identify the large stem (Inlet
Stem) and small stem (Outlet Stem).
2. On the DWS, locate the two ports on the bottom rear of the system housing.
Identify the lower, large port (Inlet Port) and upper, small port (Outlet Port).
3. Insert the Inlet Stem into the Inlet Port by slowly pushing the stem straight
into the port as far as possible. Conrm the connection by pushing the
stem in again.
4. Insert the Outlet Stem into the Outlet Port by slowly pushing the stem
straight into the port as far as possible. Conrm the connection by
pushing the stem in again.
Connect The Hose And Diverter Valve To The Faucet
1. Remove the aerator or screen (if present) from the end of the faucet. If
facing the open end of the spout, rotate the aerator counter-clockwise
to loosen and remove.

2. Attach the diverter valve directly to the faucet
spout. If the threads of the diverter valve do not
match the threads of the faucet, use one of the
included faucet adapters to connect the diverter
existing
faucet

attachment
ring
valve and faucet. If facing the open end of the
spout, rotate the diverter valve and/or adapter
clockwise to tighten. NOTE: When using a faucet
adapter, the rubber washer in the adapter always
faces up toward the faucet.
Diverter Valve
Attachment
a. If Your Faucet Has an Outside Thread (male
connector): For many faucets with an outside
thread, the diverter valve can attach directly
to the faucet. If the diverter valve does
not attach to the faucet, attach the inside
thread (female connector) adapter, part #
MC106 or MC105, to the faucet, and then
Diverter Valve Attachment
with adapter
attach the diverter valve to the adapter.
b. If Your Faucet Has an Inside Thread (female
*MC105
connector): The diverter valve cannot
directly connect to a faucet with a female
connector. Attach the outside thread (male
*MC106
*MC108
connector) adapter, part# MC108, to the
faucet and then attach the diverter valve to
*MC257
the adapter.
c. If Your Faucet Requires More Room for the
Diverter Valve Connection: Some faucets,
*MC700 Adapters
Many installations do not
require an adapter
particularly sprayer hose faucets, require
additional room for the diverter valve connection. If this applies,
attach the long adapter, part# MC257, to the opening of the
faucet spout/sprayer, and then attach the diverter valve to the
adapter. The DWS may need to be repositioned on the sink to allow
enough room for sprayer faucet use.
d. If the Adapters Do Not Fit Your Faucet: Although the adapters
included with your DWS allow connections with many standard
faucets, they do not cover every type of available faucet connection.
If none of the adapters allow the diverter valve to connect to your
diverter
valve
hose
