1.0 Standard Inline Installation
Install Filter Housing – see diagram A on page 3

1. Select a suitable location for the filter housing under the sink.
   NOTE: The location should be reasonably accessible for filter replacement. When mounting housing to the cabinet, leave a minimum 2” space below sump/filter housing for removal of the sump for maintenance and filter replacement and orientate to match the desired flow direction.
   DO NOT INSTALL where temperatures fall below freezing as damage to the system will occur.
   NOTE: The flow arrow and IN/OUT are embossed on the top of the black plastic housing head. DO NOT reverse.
   NOTE: The filter cartridge is pre-installed at the factory.
   WARNING: Be sure to turn off your water supply or manual shut-off valve for your cold water before proceeding with the installation. If your plumbing does not include an annual shut-off valve at the sink, we recommend one be installed before proceeding.

2. Secure the bracket attached to the filter housing assembly to the side of the sink cabinet in the desired location. Depending on your installation, use appropriate fasteners not supplied with your system. Be sure to securely mount the housing using the 4 mounting holes as it will be heavy when full of water.

3. Remove the existing flex hose connection at the cold water shut-off valve and attach it to the OUT side of your filter. Filter housing requires a 3/8” compression fitting on the end of your existing flex hose.

4. Using the flex hose included with your system, attach one end to the IN side of the filter housing and the other end to the manual shut-off valve. The flex hose requires a 3/8” compression fitting.

MAKE SURE FITTINGS ARE TIGHTENED SECURELY. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTENED. GO TO STEP 3.0 – START-UP to complete the installation.

2.0 Inline Installation With Separate Faucet (Optional Kit) – See diagram B on page 3 for Optional Faucet Begin installation by following steps 1 & 2 in section 1.0 above.  hen continue with 2.0 below.

1. Disconnect the existing flex hose connected to your manual cold water shut-off valve or cold water supply.
2. Install the T-valve as shown in Diagram B on page 3. Requires 3/8” compression fitting size.
3. Re-connect the existing flex hose to the outflow side of the T-valve. Another end should remain connected to the existing faucet.
4. Prepare a piece of 3/8” plastic tubing (included) to fit between the quick connect push fitting on the T-valve and the IN side on the water filter housing – ADD an additional 1-1/2” to tubing length as tubing will travel about 3/4” into each fitting to seat properly.
5. Insert one end of plastic tubing into the quick connect on the T-valve – press in firmly.
6. With another end of the tubing, remove the nut and compression washer from the filter housing. Slide nut first onto the tubing, then slide compression washer onto the tubing. Insert tubing firmly into brass fitting (lead-free) on housing. Slide compression washer and nut onto threads and begin to tighten the nut using a wrench. Tighten securely. DO NOT over-tighten.
7. Select a suitable location for the drinking water faucet as close to the sink as possible allowing convenient space under the sink for assembly. The spout of the faucet should be able to reach the sink. A 2” flat area is required to mount the faucet. Check for clearance, then drill the sink top with a 1/2” bit to accommodate the faucet inlet pipe.
8. See Optional Faucet details and diagram on page 1 for installation on the faucet through the sink top.
9. Remove the plastic quick connect adaptor, the brass nut, and the lock washer from the inlet pipe.
10. Insert the faucet stem through the sink top to seat the rubber washer.
11. Replace the lock washer and brass nut and tighten firmly with a wrench.
12. Attach the plastic quick connect to the threaded stem of the faucet using Teflon tape (not supplied)
13. Prepare a piece of 3/8” plastic tubing (included) to fit between the quick connect push fitting on the faucet and the OUT side on the water filter housing – ADD an additional 1-1/2” to tubing length as tubing will travel about 3/4” into each fitting to seat properly. Insert the end of plastic tubing into the quick connect push-in fitting on the faucet. Press firmly.
14. With another end of the tubing, remove the nut and compression washer from the filter housing. Slide nut first onto the tubing, then slide compression washer onto the tubing. Insert tubing firmly into brass fitting (lead-free) on housing. Slide compression washer and nut onto threads and begin to tighten the nut using a wrench. Tighten securely. DO NOT over-tighten.
    GO TO STEP 3.0 – START-UP to complete the installation.
