FrescaPure

™

Drinking Water System has to offer!

IMPORTANT USE GUIDELINES

1. Read this manual completely before attempting to install or use this product.

2. Actual capacity of your System may vary from the rated capacity. This may

be due to the volume of contaminants actually present in your water supply.
To insure best results, replace Filter Cartridge when the first of the
following occurs:

– Annually
– When the Display begins flashing RED (indicating the rated capacity

has been reached)
– When the flow rate diminishes
– When you notice a taste or odor recurrence

3. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown

quality without adequate disinfection before or after the System.

4. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used with disinfected water

that may contain filterable cysts.

5. Individuals requiring specific microbiological purity should consult their

physician.

6. This System is not intended to convert waste water or raw sewage into

drinking water.

7. DO NOT mistake Red Collars and Tubes as a “hot” water feed line. This

system is for use on cold potable water supplies only. Color coding is only
to insure proper connections to the System “Inlet” and “Outlet” ports.

8. For this System to continue to perform as tested and represented, use only

Genuine, WQA Certified, Royal Prestige Filter Cartridges.

9. Genuine, Royal Prestige Filter Cartridges may be purchased from your

10. After set-up and installation, DO NOT remove the Battery Shuttle except

when replacing the Filter Cartridge. Removing the Battery Shuttle
prematurely may result in a loss of stored data.

11. Be sure to replace the Battery Shuttle each time a new Filter Cartridge is

installed. For your convenience, a new Battery Shuttle is included with the
purchase of each new, replacement Filter Cartridge.

12. Do not allow System to sit for extended lengths of time without being

used (10 days or more). If System must be left unused for more than 10
days, drain all water from the System and use sanitary gloves to remove
the Filter Cartridge. Place Cartridge into clean plastic bag, seal and
refrigerate. Once you return, re-install the Cartridge per the Replacement
Instructions and continue to use.

13. This System must be protected from freezing. Failure to do so may result

INSTALLATION: UNDER-COUNTER SYSTEM (Model: FP6000UC)

If your sink has an existing hole at least 1” in diameter that is being used
for a spray attachment or soap dispenser, you may decide to remove it and
use the existing hole to continue your installation. (Skip the next section and

go to “Faucet Installation” on page 12.)

If your sink DOES NOT have an existing hole at least 1” in diameter, a new
hole will need to be drilled.

The type of plumbing that you have in your home will determine the method
of installation and the type of hardware to be used. Below is a list of common
tools required for most under-counter installations:

Drilling a Hole in a Porcelain/Ceramic Sink:

- 3/8” Variable-Speed Electric Drill

- Relton

™

1” Porcelain Cutter Kit (PC-16)

(Visit www.relton.com for purchase information.)

- Masking Tape

Drilling a Hole in a Stainless Steel Sink:

- 3/8” Variable-Speed Electric Drill

- 1/8” Drill Bit

- 1” Hole Saw

- Masking Tape

- Hammer

- Punch

Installing the T-Valve and Dedicated Drinking Water Faucet:

- 5/8” and 3/4” Open End Wrenchs or Adjustable Wrench

- Tubing Cutter or sharp Utility Knife

CAUTION

Using power tools near water may result in electrical shock or even death. Be
certain that sink area is dry prior to using any power tool.

If you are experienced in this type of installation and choose to install

yourself, please proceed with extreme caution. If you have any doubts about doing

this yourself, please consult a licensed plumber.

The Universal Plumbing Code, and other state and county codes prohibit
the use of saddle valves. We also do not recommend their use. You must adhere to
your state and local plumbing codes. If you are uncertain, consult a licensed plumber.

certain there are no support ribs under the sink
in that area.) Cover the designated location

for the faucet installation on sink with masking
tape. Use the punch and hammer to make
a light indentation at the designated faucet
installation location.

2. Using a 1/8” high speed drill bit, drill a pilot

hole in the sink.

3. Use a 1” hole saw to enlarge the pilot hole

to final size.

DRILLING A HOLE IN A PORCELAIN/CERAMIC SINK:

1. Locate an area on your sink to install the

Dedicated Drinking Water Faucet. (Make certain
there are no support ribs under the sink in that
area.) Cover the designated location for the

Faucet installation on sink with masking tape.

2. Using the carbide-tipped pilot drill supplied

with the Relton Cutter Kit and a variable
speed drill, slowly drill a pilot hole completely
through the porcelain or enamel and metal
base material.

3. The plastic sleeve supplied on the pilot drill is

to be positioned against the drill chuck after
the pilot drill has been inserted. This prevents
the drill chuck from contacting the porcelain
after the pilot hole has been completed.

4. Change to the spring-loaded porcelain saw

bit. Be sure the pilot guide supplied is inserted
tightly into the porcelain saw. With light
pressure applied to the porcelain saw, start the
drill motor turning as slowly as possible; after
the initial cut has started in the porcelain, the
drill motor’s R.P.M. may be increased. (Avoid

high R.P.M.s during the initial penetration
of the porcelain.) Three to four minutes may

be necessary to cut the porcelain; a faster
penetration rate could result in excessive
chipping. Continue drilling until a complete
ring has been cut through to the metal base.

5. Change to the finish hole saw bit. Be sure the

pilot guide is inserted tightly. Begin to cut with
slow speed and light pressure until porcelain

(inside the ring cut by porcelain saw in Step 4)

has been penetrated to the metal underneath.
At that point, remove the hole saw from the
hole and clean all chips from the porcelain surface. Reinsert the hole saw
into the hole and cut through the remaining material.

CAUTION

This type of sink can chip very easily. If you have any doubts about doing

this yourself, consult a licensed plumber.

RECOMMENDATION

Experiment on discarded porcelain to familiarize yourself with
the action and performance of the porcelain cutter kit.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION:

Read these instructions completely before starting System Installation.

Make a determination whether you will be able to make a “Typical” installation
(as shown in the illustration on page 10) after looking at your under-sink
cabinet area.

If the configuration of your under-sink area does not permit a “Typical”
installation, it will be necessary to develop one of your own. Be sure to
take into consideration where the System will be permanently located in
relationship to the cold water supply line and Dedicated Drinking Water Faucet.
Make generous allowances for estimating the Tubing lengths required to
make these connections. (Two Velcro Strips have been provided should you

decide to mount the Monitor to the cabinet wall.)

1. Before starting this installation, be certain to

turn “OFF” the cold water supply located under
your sink. If a shut-off valve is not located on
the cold water supply line, shut off the main
water supply to your home.

2. Locate an area under sink to place the Base.

The Base should be located directly under
the area where the Dedicated Drinking Water
Faucet is installed.

3. Locate the shut-off valve on the existing cold

water supply line. Using a 5/8” open ended
wrench, unthread compression nut located
on top of the shut-off valve by turning the
wrench counterclockwise.

4. Thread the T-Valve onto shut-off valve using

a 3/4” wrench to tighten, then thread
compression nut onto T-Valve using 5/8”
wrench to tighten (clockwise).

5. Before pushing the White Tubing (which is

attached to the Dedicated Drinking Water
Faucet) into the “Outlet” Collar located on

T-Valve, determine whether it is necessary
to shorten Tubing. If so, shorten to desired
length before inserting.

before inserting.

8. Before pushing the Red Tubing (which is

attached to the Dedicated Drinking Water
Faucet) into the Red “Outlet” Collar on Lid,

determine whether it will be necessary to
shorten Tubing. If so, shorten to desired
length before inserting.

9. Insert Monitor Cable Connector into Cable

Port located on Monitor.

10. Slowly turn cold water supply “ON” and

turn the Lever on Dedicated Drinking Water
Faucet downward. Water will begin filling the
System. Upon initial startup, the Monitored
Beauty Ring will begin blinking GREEN,
YELLOW and RED five (5) times before
continuing to blink GREEN, indicating peak
operational performance. Check that all hose,
clamp and Housing connections are tight
and do not leak.

11. When using your System for the first time, or

whenever a new Cartridge is installed, allow
the System to flush into the sink for fifteen
(15) minutes. This will expel trapped air and
condition the Filter Cartridge for normal use.

(This water may be used to water your plants.)

TROUBLESHOOTING

CONDITION: Water continues to run from the Dedicated Drinking
Water Faucet even after turning the water “OFF”.

REASON: The Dedicated Drinking Water Faucet does not shut off like
a standard faucet. It has a valve that shuts off pressure in front of the
System, and like a garden hose, the residual pressure will take time
to drain.

SOLUTION: This condition is normal and no action is required. However,
to minimize the “run on” effect, follow the flushing instructions for a
minimum of 15 minutes when your System is new and each time a new
Filter Cartridge is installed.

CONDITION: Water is flowing slowly from the System, yet the
Monitored Beauty Ring is still flashing GREEN.

REASON: Excessive amounts of particles in the water supply may have
caused premature plugging of the Filter Cartridge.

SOLUTION: The Cartridge and Battery Shuttle must be replaced due
to poor water conditions in your area.

CONDITION: White sediment is in my filtered water.

REASON: There is a presence of calcium carbonate in your main

water supply. This will occur any time the filter water is boiled or
frozen and then melts.

SOLUTION: This condition is normal and no action is required

CONDITION: The YELLOW lamp on the Monitored Beauty Ring

is flashing.

REASON: The Cartridge is reaching the end of its rated capacity
and will need to be replaced soon. Order a Genuine, WQA Certified,
Royal Prestige Filter Cartridge now so that you will have it when the RED
lamp begins flashing, signaling it is time to replace the Cartridge.

SOLUTION: Replace Cartridge and Battery Shuttle when RED lamp on
Monitored Beauty Ring begins flashing.
