Q: Why does the filtered water taste weird?

• A: The filter is not installed appropriately, or it should be replaced. Please reinstall it in a correct way.

• This system cannot reduce 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 outlet valve 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 is the water leaking or dripping?

• A: Check whether the selected adapter is correct or whether the adapter sealing ring and the base sealing ring are installed firmly.
• Flush the filter for 3-5 minutes to activate it, and then there will be no leaks or drips.
