Overview
Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Water Treatment system.
The Premier WP-2 LCV water treatment system contains a heavy duty lead, cyst, and VOC reducing carbon block filter.
This specialty formulated block is capable of reducing lead, cysts as well as harmful Chemicals. It is estimated that
VOC’s are present in one-fifth of the nation’s water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from
a variety of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel
tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning industry. See performance data sheet for individual contaminants and reduction performance.
System Maintenance
Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Many contaminants in the drinking water are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter elements, other bad tastes and odors will be
apparent in your drinking water. This is why it is important to change your filters at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual.
When replacing any of the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further
questions please refer to our web site at www.PremierH2o.com or call our customer service department at 1-800-752-
5582.

Start up Instructions
Congratulations! You have completed the installation of your new water filtration system. Please Follow the
Startup Instructions.
Step 1: Turn on water supply at angle stop and open the Adapt-a-Valve. Turn
faucet handle to the open position to start the flow of water through the
unit. Run 3 gallons of water through the unit in order to flush out the
normal black carbon fines (it will “sputter” until the air is purged out)
from the unit. Initially, the water may appear cloudy which is due to tiny
air bubbles and it will clear up shortly. Close the faucet when finished.
Step 2: Check for leaks. If you have any leaks, shut off the water supply to your
system, tighten any fittings / housings and restart unit.
NOTICE
Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present
