STEP 1: THE FAUCET

1 Drill the faucet hole (if needed) at least ½” in diameter.

2 Feed the faucet base and rubber base washer onto faucet stem and then Insert the faucet into the hole.

3 Secure from underneath with the star locking washer and brass nut.

4 Screw the tube quick connect to the bottom of the threaded faucet stem and tighten.

STEP 2: CONNECTING THE SUPPLY LINE

STEP 3: CONNECTING THE DRAIN

STEP 4: THE MAIN BODY

STEP 5: INSTALLING THE TANK

STEP 6: ACTIVATING THE SYSTEM

1 Locate the cold water supply feed and close off valve fully by turning

clockwise.

2 Place catch basic under the supply valve and disconnect the line leading

up to the main faucet.

3 Insert the included john guest angle stop valve and reconnect the line

to the faucet

4 Insert the RED supply line into the angle stop valve. Tug on the tube to

ensure a complete fit.

5 If you are using the optional Scale Guard pre-filter, position it so it

stands vertically and then cut the RED tube to reach the IN and OUT
ports on the top of the Scale Guard. Insert the tube into each side.

1 Position the drain saddle on the drainpipe. Ensure adequate space for

drilling and then tighten the bolts evenly on both sides. Avoid over
tightening.

2 Use the opening in the saddle as a guide to drill a ¼” hole in the pipe.

3 Slide compression nut onto the BLACK drain line and then push drain

line into the hole you just drilled. Slide enough tube in to reach the
inside of the drain pipe and then tighten the nut fully.

1 Remove the blue tube stem from the back of the system rack. John

Guest fittings are used throughout the system. To install a tube, push it
through the collar until it seats fully. Pull on it to ensure it’s a tight seal.
To remove a tube, depress the collar against the body and pull the tube
in the opposite direction. The collar will release its grip and allow the
tube to slide out.

2 Unscrew the installed cartridges and attached the frame to the side of

the cabinet using included screws.

3 Insert tubes into all locations with color coded tube stems already

inserted. Remove the stems and connect the tubes. The RED supply
line will connect to the feed port on the side. The BLUE tank line and
WHITE faucet line connect to the 3-way valve on the opposite side. The

BLACK plugs into the H2O Optimizer. Any tube can be cut/shortened to

fit, or left as is.

4 Screw canisters into the rack working from back left to front right. Sedi-

ment, carbon, membrane and Vitev mix.

1 Place tank stand and ensure tank seats firmly into it. You might have to

slowly turn the tank until it matches up.

2 Attach John Guest valve to the top of the tank threading. Screw com-

pletely down.

3 Insert BLUE tube into the valve connection and ensure the valve lever is

parallel with the tube. Turning perpendicular will stop the water from
entering (and exiting) the tank.

1 Make sure all connections are made.

2 Open the faucet fully

3 Slowly turn the water on at the supply valve and check for any leaks. Air will flow from the faucet and then a slow stream of water a few min-

utes later. You will hear a clicking noise from the H2O optimizer, this is normal.

4 If all connections are dry, close the tap and allow the tank to fill completely. This will take about an hour.

5 After an hour, open the faucet and allow the water to run until it stops (or nearly does). Close the faucet for another hour and then flush the

tank again.

6 The system is now ready for use. Just allow it to fill with water again.

FILTER REPLACEMENT:

The sediment, carbon, and mineral cartridges are replaced annually based on source water quality and average use of 2 gallons per day.
The membrane is replaced every 3 years. Provided you are maintaining the correct replacement schedule of the other filters!

To replace filters, follow these steps:

1 Turn off the supply valve and the valve on top of the tank. (blue levers perpendicular) Then turn on the faucet to let the water drain out.

2 Pull yellow plug from top of replacement filters and screw new filters in place.

3 Close the faucet and open the valves back up. Check for leaks.

4 Check for leaks and flush at least 1 tank worth of water, just like you did when it was new.
