supply/saddle valve and allow the filter housing to fill.
Close the filtered water faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump

and the head.
NOTE: If leaking, turn off the water supply and turn on the filtered water
faucet. Disassemble the filter housing and check the o-ring for cuts, flat
spots, etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o-ring and
lightly lubricate with clean silicone grease. Carefully press into the groove
in the sump. Reassemble and check for leaks.

two new "AA" alkaline batteries in the battery pack. Removing the
batteries or momentarily disconnecting the leadwires resets the six-month
electronic timer. It is recommended that you change your batteries at
least once a year.
The filter cartridges contain activated carbon. When new, turn on the

filtered water faucet for five minutes to flush the system.
Place filter change label on sump, inside cabinet door, or in another

convenient location. Write in date of filter change for future reference.
Filters should be changed every six months.
