Installation of Countertop Models (CT)

The AQUA2000 is ready to install to most faucets. Installation takes just a few
minutes and requires a pair of pliers.

NOTE: The unit must be installed vertically (not horizontal)

WARNING: Remove protective packaging from inside the UV lamp housing
before operation.

1. Remove the existing aerator and gasket from the faucet. If the threads on the
hose assembly do not match your faucet’s threads, use the included adapter or
obtain one from your local hardware store.

2. Thread the hose assembly onto the faucet.

3. Connect the shorter tubing of the diverter assembly to the inlet of the system by
simply pushing the metal tube all the way into the lower fitting (located at the
rear of the unit, towards the bottom).

4. Connect the longer tubing to the outlet of the system by pushing the metal tube
all the way into the top fitting (located in the cap of the filter chamber).

5. Place hoses as shown and plug the power supply into a nearby receptacle.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug your AQUA2000 unit into an outlet that can be
turned off with a switch, such as an outlet for a garbage disposal.
