Tools Recommended For Installation

√ A pair of pliers may be required

Installation

Step A: Remove the faucet aerator by turning it counterclockwise, (as shown in Figure A).

To loosen (counter clockwise)

Step B: Check faucet aerator threads. If your faucet aerator threads are the same as the diverter valve,

screw the diverter directly on to your faucet. (See gure below). If the aerator threads are different than the
diverter valve, the universal adapter will be required. (See gure on next page). If necessary, screw in the

universal adapter into the faucet.

Step C: Now that you have connected your CT-1 to the faucet you need to purge the air from
the system. Turn on the cold water. Pull out the diverter control button and water will run

through the CT-1. (See gure C). Note: You may hear some noise as air is being purged

from the CT-1 and the rst few glasses of water through the unit may be dark color due

to carbon nes. Run water through your unit until it is clear of carbon nes.

Your CT-1 is now ready to provide you with fresh, clean drinking water.

FILTER CHANGE

Watts Premier recommends changing the filter
element at least every 6 months or 1350 gallons
(5100 liters).

Use Watts Premier’s replacement cartridges

only. Other lters may look the same, but only lters
by Watts are manfactured to t your CT-1 lter

unit in order to ensure proper reduction of water
contaminants.

Note: There will be water in the CT-1 Filter
Housing. To prevent spillage, turn the CT-1 upside
down before removing Filter Housing from the
base. See gure D.

Step 1: Remove CT-1 lter housing from base by

unscrewing it in a counterclockwise direction as

shown in gure D.

Step 2: Slide out used Carbon Block and filter
cartridge gaskets and discard. NOTE: Do not

discard the CT-1 lter housing O-Ring.

Step 3: Clean inside the of the CT-1 lter housing with warm

soapy water. Rinse the CT-1 Housing with warm clean water
to remove soap.

Step 5: Seat O-Ring into lter housing grove.

Step 6: Slide new lter cartridge into lter housing and screw CT-Filter housing onto base.
