A potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

A potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

2

To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminates due to use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

3

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage:

• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 40°F (4.4°C).

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (828 kPa). If your water pressure
exceeds 120 psi, you must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.

• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur.If water hammer
conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing
professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.

• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature
of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).

• The disposable filter cartridge must be replaced every twelve months or at the
specified service cycle.

• Read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system.

OVERVIEW OF A COMPLETED SETUP

4

Personal Injury: Do not locate filter above an outlet or other

electrical device. Install head and bracket so that connections

require no stretching, kinking or pinching of tubing.

It is normal for approximetly 2 oz. of water to

discharge when filter is removed.

Property Damage: Tube runs need to form to the cabinet’s

contours to allow storage space with no sharp bends. Tubes
need clean, perpendicular, burr-free cuts to ensure a true fit.

■■ Determine length of tubing required,

then cut to length making sure the
cut is perpendicular and burr-free.

■■ Insert a white 3/8" tube into inlet

side of filter head until it stops.

Press in again to ensure a secure fit.

■■ Insert the other white 3/8" tube

into outlet side of filter head
until it stops. Press in again to

ensure a secure fit.

■■ Mark hole locations for filter head

and bracket in a spot that allows for
filter replacement.

■■ Drill 1/8" starter holes and attach

bracket to wall with wood screws,
turning until snug.

■■ Remove red filter cap, insert filter

cartridge into filter head and twist
clockwise until “LOCK” arrow on the
filter aligns with arrow on bracket.

■■ To redirect filter replacement water

discharge, place the supplied 6"
clear tube over vent hole on the
left side of filter head.

■■ Insert the copper tube(s) from the

water dispenser into the 3/8" to 1/4"
quick-connect fitting.

■■ Connect the white 3/8" tube

from the right outlet on the filter
head into the quick-connect fitting
until it stops. Press in again to

ensure a secure fit.
