Installation Overview

Installation

1. Connect to the Cold Water Supply
   CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THIS WATER LINE TO A HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE. The water supply to the unit MUST be from the COLD WATER LINE. Using HOT WATER will severely damage your filters.
   A. Turn off and then disconnect the current cold water supply line.
   B. Connect the feed water adapter (B) to the cold water supply line.
   C. Twist the cold water supply line clockwise on top of the feed water adapter (B) until it is securely connected.
   NOTE: An extra adapter nut is included on top of the feed water adapter (B) to attach to a 3/8 in. or 1/2 in. feed plumbing line. D. Insert the white feed water tube (Ca) straight into the quick connector piece of the feed water adapter (B). Tighten the nut. E. Gently tug on the tube (Ca) to ensure a secure connection with the feed water adapter (B).

2. Install the Faucet
   IMPORTANT: If your sink does not have a second faucet hole, please contact a licensed professional to create one. Do NOT attempt to drill a faucet hole yourself as this may damage the sink.
   A. Slide the steel plate (1) and the washer (2) up the faucet stem as illustrated. Then insert the faucet stem into the hole in the counter, positioning the faucet body (E) on top of the counter.
   B. From underneath the sink, slide the plastic washer (3) up the faucet stem, followed by the steel washer (4). Twist the lock nut (5) up the stem, securing the faucet (E) and all the washers in place.
   C. From underneath the sink, slide the quick connector (6) up the faucet stem and secure in place using the clips (7). IMPORTANT: Connect the white faucet tube (C) to the quick connector (6).

3. Make the Connections
   A. Connect the two tubes to the engine (A).

Operation

Startup and Flushing of Water
Flush the filter in the engine (A) upon first use and each time you change the filter.

1. Open the feed water adapter (B).
2. Flush the system by opening the faucet handle until the stored water is completely emptied and the flow is reduced to a trickle (about 1-5 minutes).
3.  Close the faucet handle and allow the system to fill again.
4. Repeat steps 3-4 two more times (about 4-6 hours). (Occasionally check for leaks during this time.)
5. Check for leaks daily during the first week of use and periodically thereafter.
   NOTE: You may notice that the water has a milky color during the first week. This is an indication of air bubbles in the water. This is normal during this period and the water is safe to drink.
