INSTALLATION
CONTINUED
2. (A) Turn off cold water supply and open nearest cold water
faucet to release pressure in pipes before starting installation.
Place a tray or towels under the cold water line to catch
excess water. (B) Select location under sink where filter is
to be mounted. Use mounting bracket as a template to
mark screw locations. Mount filter in marked location using
mounting bracket.
NOTE: (C) Allow 1
⁄ inches clearance below housing to

3. (A) Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, remove a 3-inch section
of pipe from the 3/8-inch cold water line. Deburr ends of
remaining pipe with a file. (B) Push a quick-connect elbow
onto each end of remaining cold water line. Be sure to push
elbow onto pipe until you hit a hard stop.

4. Determine the lengths of tubing needed to connect the inlet
and outlet sides of filter to the quick-connect fittings on the
cold water line. Measure the tubing to the appropriate length
to prevent kinking. Cut the tubing squarely. Assemble as
shown in Figure 4, inserting tubing into appropriate inlet or
outlet quick-connect fitting until it stops (flow arrow is
on cap).
NOTE: The tubing should be pushed into the fitting
approximately 5/8-inch.

5. (A) Slowly turn on the water supply to allow filter to fill with
water, (B) and then press the red pressure-relief button on
top of filter to release trapped air. Check for leaks before
leaving installation.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines
(very fine black powder). After installation, flush the cartridge
for 30 minutes to remove the fines before using the water.
It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds
prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.

6. NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect
Fittings. Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will
not require that you disconnect the tubing from the filter
cap; however, tubing may be quickly and easily removed
from the fittings if necessary. First, turn off the water supply
to the filter and open faucet to release pressure. (A) Then,
simply depress the gray collar around the inlet fitting of the
housing (B) while pulling the tubing with your other hand.
Repeat for the outlet fitting.
