CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

INSTALLATION

NOTE:

• For standard under-sink installation on 1/2″ 14 NPS threads or 3/8″ x 3/8″ compression
• Please read all instructions and precautions before installing and using your Filtration System
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps

1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter

The supply adapter fits 1/2″-14 NPS supply threads or 3/8″ x 3/8″ compression. If local codes permit, it may be used to connect the system to the cold water supply line. If local codes do not permit the use of the supply adapter, alternate connectors can be obtained from your local supplier.

• a. Turn off cold water supply line. If cold water line does not have a shut-off valve under the sink, you should install one.
• b. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all water to drain from line.
• c. Disconnect riser cold water supply valve.
• d. Ensure the sealing gasket is fully seated into the feed adapter valve female thread.
• e. Install feed adapter valve onto supply valve. Hand tighten only.
• f. Connect the riser to the feed adapter valve.

NOTE: See Figures 1g and 1h for configuring the feed adapter to 3/8″ x 3/8″ compression connections.

2. Selecting the Faucet Location

NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet fits through a 3/4″ hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3/8″ or 1-1/2″ diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a 3/4″ hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.

CAUTION This procedure may generate dust which can cause severe irritation if inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety glasses and respirator for this procedure is recommended.

CAUTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH AN ALLPORCELAIN SINK. If you have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer hole or drill through countertop next to sink.

CAUTION When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area below the drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain you have ample room to make the proper connections to the bottom of the faucet.

CAUTION Do not drill through a countertop that is more than 1″ thick.

CAUTION Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for advice or assistance.

• a. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or tools from falling down the drain.
• b. Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent scratches if drill bit slips.
• c. Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4″ drill bit to drill pilot hole.
• d. Use a 3/4″ drill bit and drill a hole completely through sink.
• e. Smooth rough edges with a file.

3. Mounting the Faucet
a. Apply 3-5 wraps of plumber’s tape to faucet stem.
b. Assemble faucet as shown in Figure 3.
c. Screw quick connector onto threaded end of faucet stem. d. Place a mark 5/8″ from one end of the blue tubing. Wet the
end of the 3/8″ tube and push into bottom of connector. The 5/8″ mark should be flush with the collar of the connector.
NOTE: To remove the tube, push on the fittings’ collar and pull the tube out.
a. Holding the faucet, feed the tubing through the hole in the sink. Position the faucet handle at a desired location.
b. Center the faucet and slip slotted disc between the bottom of the counter or sink and lock washer. Tighten the stem nut with a wrench until it is tight.
c. Firmly insert spout into faucet base.

4. Mounting the System
d. Select a location under the sink, or other suitable area where the system will be installed.
NOTE: The system carton can be used to determine the operational footprint required for installation of the system and replacement cartridges. (Figure 4a)
e. Mount the system vertically. Ensure mounting is level. Place a pencil mark in the upper slots of the bracket mounting holes. (Figure 4b). Alternate mounting option: If mounting the system near the floor, place the pencil marks above each of the mounting holes on the bracket to ensure enough space resides below the cartridge and the floor for cartridge replacement (Figure 4c). Use the 3/32″ drill bit to create pilot holes for mounting.

WARNING: The system should be mounted to a firm, solid surface that is able to support the weight of the system.

5. Connecting the Faucet to the System
a. Determine the length of plastic blue tubing needed to connect to the outlet (right) side of the filter from the faucet. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely. Use a marker to mark one end of the tubing 5/8″ from the end (Figure 5). Wet the end of the 3/8″ tube and push into the outlet (right) connection of the system up to the mark.
CAUTION Do not bend or crimp tube inserting.
b. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected properly.

6. Connecting the Supply Adapter

a. Determine the length of plastic white tubing needed to connect the inlet (left) side of the filter with the feed adapter installed on the cold water supply line. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely. Place a mark 5/8″ from one end of the tubing.
Wet the end of the tubing. Insert the end of the tubing into the 3/8″ fitting of the inlet supply adapter. The 5/8″ mark should be flush with the collar of the fitting located on the inlet supply adapter (Figure 6a).

b. Mark the remaining end of the tubing. Use a marker to mark 5/8″ from the end. Wet the end of the tube. Insert the end into the feed connection on the inlet side (left) of the system. The tube should go in up to the mark. (Figure 6b).

7. Placing the System into Operation

• a. Slowly turn on the cold water supply. Ensure that the feed adapter valve is also open.
• b. Open faucet and flush filter for 10 minutes. Discard water.
• c. Check for leaks at all fittings before leaving installation. If leaks appear, see Troubleshooting.

NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). If carbon fines appear in the water, discard water. More flushing is required if carbon fines are present.

NOTE: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If cloudiness in a glass of water disappears from the bottom; fine air bubbles are present. This air within the water will disappear within a few weeks after installation.

INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.

FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

NOTE: The life of the filter cartridges depends on water volume used and the quality of the feed water. It is recommended that the filter cartridges be replaced every 6-12 months, or every 675 gallons, or when there is a noticeable change in taste, odor, or flow of filtered water.

Ensure the correct cartridge set is purchased for the system.
Model F2000-B2B uses the F2B2-RC2 replacement cartridge set.

8. Cartridge Replacement

• A. Relieve pressure by turning off the water supply to the system and opening a faucet until water flow stops. Place a bucket or towel under the system to catch any water drips (Figure 8a).
• B. Remove the cover and lift the locking bar upward until the filter cartridge disengages from the filter head assembly (Figure 8b).
• C. Pull the cartridge away from the filter head assembly (Figure 8c).
• D. Ensure the locking bar is fully in the up position (Figure 8c).
• E. Align the posts on the filter cartridge with the ports in the filter head assembly. Slide the cartridge filter into the filter head assembly engaging with the locking bar, causing it to drop forward and down. (Figure 8d).
• F. Pull down the locking bar until it snaps into place (Figure 8e).
• G. Install cover.

NOTE: See Placing the System into Operation section for remaining steps.
