How to Choose the Right Adapter

1. For external threaded faucets, please try to connect the Outlet valve (C) to the faucets. If not fit, select B4 adapter. Use a coin to connect the B4 adapter to the faucet. Then connect the Outlet valve (C) of the system to the adapter. If the seal ring of adapter is loose, please install it firmly.

Tips: If there is water leakage at the connecting position between the faucet and the system, it is recommended to use a wrench to assist in tightening the nut on (C), or use the Teflon tape inside the instruction package to avoid leakage. Figure 1.2

NOTE: There may be a small amount of black water during the first use. This is a normal phenomenon because of the activated carbon. Feel free to use the water after it becomes clear.

There may be a small amount of black water and the sound of water pushing air out of the filter during the first use. This is a normal phenomenon because of the active carbon. Feel free to use the water after it becomes dear.
2. Check for water leakage. In the event of leakage, refer to the FAQ or contact customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the filtered water run slowly?

A: The water pressure is too low or the filter is clogged. Please check on whether the water pressure of the pipeline is normal.

Q: Why does the TDS value not lower after filtration?

A: TDS stands for total dissolved solids. It is composed of inorganic salts and a small amount of organic matter. This filter cannot lower the TDS value because it removes harmful substances while keeping beneficial trace elements, which can increase the TDS value

Q: Why does water leak between the mounting base and the faucet?

A: Remove the filtration system from the faucet and check on whether the sealing gasket at the connection is placed correctly. Ensure that the thread between the faucet and the filtration system is screwed in firmly so that the sealing gasket can work.

Q: Why can't the filtration system connect to the kitchen faucet?

A: There are three connection methods (including two additional adapters). If the system still cannot be connected properly, contact customer service to get another adapter.
