SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
■
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any
type of weather. Water freezing in the system
will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water
over 100°F.
WARNING: Discard all unused
and packaging material after installation.
Small parts remaining after installation
could be a choke hazard.
■
Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to
125 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure.
If your house water supply pressure is higher than
100 psi, install a pressure reducing valve before
installing the Water Filtration system.
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the
risk of property damage or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
Check with your local public works department
for plumbing codes. You must follow these
guidelines as you install the Water Filtration
system.
■ Use the Water Filtration system on a potable,
safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only.
The filter cartridges will not purify the water,
or make it safe to drink.
■ Do not use on a hot water supply (100°F max.)
.
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 water
that may contain filterable cysts.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This Water Filtration system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.

WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon filter cartridges. They are
most often used to remove a chlorine taste and odor. They can also reduce other undesirable elements from
drinking water supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and
odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning
equipment is usually required for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

Depending on the treatment needed for a specific water supply, the water filtration system
can be customized using any combination of the preceding filter cartridge sets.
The Water Filtration system uses two filter cartridges.
Specifications guidelines. www.GEAppliances.com
This system conforms to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for the specific performance
claims as verified and sustained by test data.
Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened.
It has a hand-operated, spring-loaded closed lever to prevent waste.
You can keep the faucet open by pushing upward on the lever to lock it
against the faucet spout.
Filter Cartridge Life – Several variables determine how long the cartridges
will last in your Water Filtration system. These include:
How much water you use.
How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or other unwanted substance
is in the water.
No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the
cartridges every six months, when indicated by the electronic indicator
light on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice the
return of the unwanted substance in your water before the six months
are up. In this case the cartridges should be replaced immediately.
If the system is also for lead or chemical contaminant removal, it is
MORE IMPORTANT to replace the cartridges at least every six months.
NOTE: If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the carbon
filters may plug prematurely, reducing filtered water flow to the system
faucet. Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.
Electronic Indicator Light (not available on all models) – The electronic
indicator light on the base of the faucet is a six-month timer that shows
you when to replace the filter cartridges. When the battery pack is first
installed, the indicator light will light briefly to show that the electronics
are operating.
If this does not happen, the batteries may be installed
backwards or the lead wires are not connected.
After about six months, the indicator light begins to flash. It is time to
replace the filter cartridges. When replacing the filter cartridges, also
replace the batteries in the battery pack. Two AA batteries are required.

Installation Overview
Important Installation Recommendations
■ Check with your local public works department for
plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as
you install the Water Filtration system.
■
Use the Water Filtration system on a potable,
safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter
cartridges will not purify water or make unsafe water
safe to drink. DO NOT use on HOT water (100° F max.).
■ Protect the Water Filtration system and piping from
freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.
■ Your Water Filtration system will withstand up to
125 psi water pressure. If your house water supply
pressure is higher than 100 psi during the day
(it may reach higher levels at night), install a
pressure-reducing valve before the system.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. These systems are certified for cyst
reduction and may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts. The
water should be tested periodically to verify that
the system is performing satisfactorily. Small
parts remaining after the installation could be
a choke hazard. Discard safely.
■ Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers
■ Pliers and adjustable jaw wrench
■ Hand- or battery-powered drill and 1 ⁄4″ bit
(saddle valve installation)
■ Electric drill and drill bit to drill 1″ – 1 1⁄4 ″ hole
(type as required) if mounting hole is needed
for faucet
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the sink, consult
a qualified plumber or installer for drilling
procedures. Special drill bits may be needed
for porcelain or stainless steel.
