Tools Recommended For Installation

√ small knife
√ variable speed Drill
√ 1/8” (3 mm), 1/4” (6.4 mm) and 7/16” (11.0 mm) drill bits
√ 1/2” and 5/8” open-ended wrenches (or adjustable wrenches)
√ Phillips screwdriver

Installation

Step 1.

Step 2.

Locate a space under the sink that allows the unit to be mounted close to the cold
water supply and allows for easy access during maintenance and lter changes.
System must be installed to the cold water supply only. Allow 2” (5cm) clearance
between the bottom of the lter housing and the oor of the sink cabinet.
Using the mounting hole on the bracket, mark the location for the mounting screws on
the cabinet wall under the sink.
Screw the (2) screws into the wall at the marked location. The Ultra-UV-R bracket is
designed to be mounted without removing the screws. Hang the Ultra-UV-R-2 module
on the screws using the mounting holes in the bracket.

Special Note: Porcelain sink surface material is extremely hard and can crack or chip
quite easily. Use extreme caution if drilling. Watts Premier accepts no responsibility for
consequential damage resulting from the installation of faucet to the sink or counter top.

Colored faucets can be ordered through Watts/Premier’s toll-free customer service
department by calling 1-800-752-5582 in the Continental United States, online at

premierH2o.com or 480-675-7995 outside the United States.

A. Remove faucet kit from plastic bag and locate each of the following parts (as shown in Figure A)

Note: Remove plastic tubing from faucet body before inserting long
reach spout into faucet body.

Figure A: Faucet tube connection

Note: If using existing hole (sprayer or soap dispenser) go to
Step G.

A. Determine desired location for the faucet on your sink surface.
B. Place a piece of masking tape or duct tape on location where the hole

is to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole on the tape.

Note: Stainless steel sinks go to Step F.

Porcelain Sinks

C. Using the variable speed drill on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8” (3.0

mm) pilot hole at the center of the desired location. Use lubricating
oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit cool while drilling. Note: If
drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip. Pilot
hole must be drilled through both porcelain and metal casing of the
sink before proceeding to the next step.

D. Enlarge pilot hole to ¼” (6.4 mm). Keep drill speed on the slowest

speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep drill bit cool.

E. Enlarge the ¼” hole to 7/16” (11.13 mm). Keep drill speed on the

slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep drill bit
cool.

F. Pass the Escutcheon plate and black rubber washer over threaded

mounting tube at the base of the faucet body.

G. From top of sink pass the threaded mounting tube through the hole

drilled in the sink. Align the faucet body.

H. From under the sink, slide the locating washer and the lock-washer

over the threaded part of the faucet tube. Screw on retaining nut.
Tighten with wrench.

Connect the loose end of the ¼” blue plastic tubing from the ltration unit

to the threaded mounting tube of the faucet as shown in Figure B.

Step 1 Turn off the cold water supply to the faucet by turning the
angle stop valve off.

Step 2 Attach the Adapta Valve as illustrated in the photo above. When
attaching to straight pipe threads, use Teon tape on the threads.

Step 3 Attach the Green tube into the Adapt Valve Securing the connection

Step 4 Lift black faucet handle up on faucet to start ow of water through unit. Run 7 gallons

of water through unit. Close faucet. Note: You may hear some noise as air

is being purged from the unit and the rst few glasses of water through
the unit may be dark in color due to carbon nes.

B. Check for leaks. If you have any leaks, shut-off water supply to system, repair

and restart unit.

C. Connect plastic electrical connector from UV unit to the plastic electrical

connector from AC adapter.

D. Plug adapter into GFCI electrical outlet. You will see a pale blue light from the

view port on the UV Housing body. The light indicates that the UV lamp is on
and working.

Important guidlines

Do not unplug UV unit from power supply. Turning system off & on will shorten the life of the
UV lamp. UV should be on continuously for maximum effectiveness.

The system requires a warm-up period for proper operation. Wait 20 minutes after plugging
in the system before using water.

Water not drawn from unit for a period of time may have a taste or odor and will be warm. To
avoid this, allow water to run through the system for one minute before using.

Replacement lters for this and many other ltration systems can be purchased directly
from Watts Premier. Ordering options include mail order, telephone ordering, and online
lter replacement. Additionally, Watts Premier sells ltration and reverse osmosis systems
suitable for almost any individual or commercial application.

Replacing UV lamp, Cap & Quartz Tube

Warning: Do not touch UV Lamp or Quartz Tube with bare ngers or hands. Fingerprints
on the lamp or tube may reduce lamp effectiveness. Handle with clean cloth or
gloves.

A. Unplug ballast from GFCI electrical outlet.
B. Unplug the plastic electrical connector from ballast to UV Lamp.
C. Turn off water supply to the unit. Lift faucet handle to relieve water pressure.
D. Disconnect both ¼” plastic tubes from the UV housing body by turning the white plastic nuts

counter clockwise. Remove the UV housing from the single mounting clip.
E. Unscrew UV cap counter clockwise.
F. Using a at bladed screwdriver remove UV lamp from cap and discard. Discard cap & quartz

tube if replacing at the same time as lamp.
G. Clean inside of UV housing with warm soapy water. Rinse with warm clean water to remove

soap.
H. Lubricate UV housing o-ring with a water-soluble lubricant (i.e. K-Y Jelly ® or Silicone lubricant)

NOTE: Do not use Petroleum based lubricants such as Vaseline ®.
I. Carefully slide new UV lamp into the cap and make sure the end plug is sealed. Water cannot

come into direct contact with the UV lamp.
J. Screw UV cap back on to UV housing body carefully by turning clockwise.
K. Snap UV housing body back into single mounting clip. Reconnect the ¼” blue tubing back on to

the UV housing body.
L. Repeat Step 4: Startup.
