Step 1 - Install Water Supply Fitting
Locate the cold water line in the sink cabinet. Check and
comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, and then
install a water supply fitting on the sink’s cold water line.
The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the
Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter ’s 3/8” O.D.
inlet tubing. A typical connection using the included
water supply fitting is shown in Fig. 3. An alternative
connection using standard plumbing fittings (not included) is shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4
NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of water fitting is used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar
with local codes or plumbing procedures.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require
installation by a licensed plumber.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts before proceeding with the installation.
A. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
USING INCLUDED FITTING
1. Close the house main water shutoff valve and open
faucets to drain water from the sink’s cold water pipe.
2. Remove the nut that connects the cold water faucet to
cold water plumbing.
3. Thread the included water supply fitting onto the pipe
and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.
CHOOSE TYPE OF WATER SUPPLY FITTING TO INSTALL
B. WATER SUPPLY TYPICAL CONNECTION
USING COMPRESSION TYPE FITTING
(PARTS NOT INCLUDED)
NOTE: Before starting, be sure to turn off water supply
and open a low faucet to drain the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the
cold water pipe to adapt to 3/8” O.D. tubing. A typical
connection is shown in Figure 4. If threaded fittings are
used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape
on outside threads.

Step 2 - Install Filtered Water Faucet
MAKE HOLE FOR FAUCET
IMPORTANT: A 1-1/4” dia. hole is needed to mount the
filtered water faucet. To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures in porcelain or stainless steel.
1. Select one of the following options to install the faucet.
Make sure there is room underneath to make the needed connections.
Use an existing sink top hole for spray hose or
soap dispenser (must be 1-1/4” in diameter).
Drill a new hole in the sink top.
Drill a hole in the countertop next to the sink.
2. Check to make sure the filtered water faucet base will
sit flat against the mounting surface.
3. If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4” dia. (minimum)
hole for the faucet in the mounting surface.
INSTALL FAUCET BASE
1. Locate the faucet base (See Fig. 5) and feed the toggle
bolts down through the hole until the faucet base is
square against the mounting surface (sink or countertop). The rubber gasket should be between the faucet
base and mounting surface.
2. Tighten the toggle bolts until the faucet base is firmly
mounted to the surface. Do not overtighten.
CONNECT BLUE TUBE TO FAUCET
1. Place the Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter
housing under the sink. It can sit upright or on its side.
2. Locate the blue tube. One end is attached to the filter
housing. Feed the other end up through the mounting
hole and faucet base. See Figure 6.
3. Refer to the “Cut Tubes to Length” section on Page 8
and cut the blue tube square and to length as needed,
leaving about 6 inches above the faucet base.
4. Locate the faucet. Refer to the “Connect Tubes” section
on Page 8 and insert the blue tube all the way into the
3/8” quick connect fitting on the faucet bottom.
5. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
INSTALL FAUCET ON BASE
1. Lower the faucet onto the base. See Figure 7.
2. Give the faucet a 1/4 turn clockwise to attach the faucet
to the base.
3. Install battery in faucet base (See “Change Battery” section on Page 9) then continue installation with Step 3
on Page 8.

Step 3 - Connect Tubes
CONNECT YELLOW TUBE TO WATER SUPPLY
FITTING
1. Locate the yellow tube. One end is attached to the filter housing. Run the other end to the water supply fitting on the cold water pipe. See Figure 8.
2. Refer to the “Cut Tubes to Length” section, below, and
cut the yellow tube square and to length as needed.
3. Refer to the “Connect Tubes” section, below, and
insert the yellow tube all the way into the 3/8” quick
connect fitting on included water supply fitting
(installed in Step 1).
4. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES
Your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter
includes push-in fittings for quick tubing connection.
Review the following before connecting the tubes.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always cut the tubing square. See Figure 9.
2. Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure
there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If
needed, cut the tubing again.
Connect tubes
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.
See Figure 10. Continue pushing until the tube bottoms out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 11.
A common mistake is to stop pushing when the tube
engages the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks.
When a 3/8” tube is fully engaged, 3/4” of the tube has
entered the fitting. See Figures 10 & 11.
2. If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the
system, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and
roundness with a smooth surface.
Disconnect Tubes
1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Figure 12.
2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tubing out. See Figure 13.

Maintenance
Figure 15
FAUCET ELECTRONICS
Inside the faucet base is a battery operated 6 month
timer. See Figure 14.
An amber LED indicator is also located in the front of
the faucet base. This LED will flash continuously after 6
months has passed. This indicates that it is time to
replace the battery and filter catridges.
CHANGE BATTERY
To change (or install) the battery, complete the following
steps.
1. Loosen the screw on the right side of the faucet base
See Figure 14.
2. Press the battery housing upwards from the front
faucet base until it releases from the faucet base. See
Figure 14.
3. Replace (or install) the battery (Maxell CR 2032 or
equivalent). Place battery into the holder with the
positive (+) side facing the back of the holder.
4. When the battery is first replaced it will flash six times
and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully
charged. After the six flashes, the timer enters the 6
month time cycle.
NOTE: If the LED repeatedly flashes just two times, it is
not a fully charged battery and will need to be replaced.
5. Re-install the timer housing and firmly tighten the
mounting screw. See Figure 14.
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
It is recommended to replace the battery and filter cartridges every 6 months of use. There are several variables that determine how long a cartridge will last.
These include:
1. How much water you use, and
2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other
unwanted substances, are in the water.
Use the following information as a guide. However no
matter which type of cartridge you are using, you will
know it is time to replace it when you first notice the
return of unwanted substances in your water.

FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Complete the following steps to replace the cartridges:
1. Turn filter cartridge to the left to remove cartridges
from the filter heads. See Figure 15.
2. Dispose of the old cartridges in a proper manner.
3. Install new cartridges, making sure to insert cartridge
1 and 2 into the correct opening (note the printing on
the cover designating “Cartridge 1” and “Cartridge
2”). Turn cartridges to the right to re-attach to the filter heads.
4. Remove and replace the timer battery. See “Change
Battery” above.
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Filter cartridges contain activated carbon, a black powder. When new, open the filtered water faucet and allow fine carbon particles to
purge from the cartridge. Close the faucet when you no
longer see the “fines” (carbon particulates) in the filtered
water, or approximately 10 minutes.
