2. Verify Under-Sink Mounting Location
Measure 20 inches from the base of the cabinet, and mark
the mounting location for the top of the filter head. Make sure
there is adequate space above the head to open and close
the built in shut-off valve and to avoid crimping the water
line tubing. Also, make sure your chosen location offers easy
access for future filter cartridge changes.
