TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Water Leaks at Push-In Connections:
Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at
the shut off valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector
collar while pulling the tubing away. Inspect tubing for cracks and
scratches. If tubing is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away
and reinsert tubing into push-in fitting.

Check to see if the main water line valve is open, allowing water to flow to
the filter.
Water Appears Cloudy or Air Comes Out of the Drinking Water System Faucet:
Flush filter for a full five (5) minutes to remove any carbon fines or
trapped air in the filter and water lines.
