Installing Your Filter

We have made it easy for you to install the Anchor Countertop Water Filter. The shipped unit comes pre-installed with filter cartridge, faucet, diverter valve, and tube. The only thing you need to do is to connect the diverter valve to your faucet and start enjoying the clean refreshing water.

Steps for installation:

1. Remove existing aerator from the faucet.
   Note the threads in your faucet. If the threads are on the:
   

2. Based on your faucet threads described above, connect the divertor on the faucet as shown in the image below:
   

If your faucet has non-standard threads, try the supplied universal adapter or purchase a special adapter from your local hardware store.

After setting up the faucet, do the following:

1. Place the filter unit in a convenient location with the spout positioned over your sink. The spout is designed to swivel.

2. Turn on your cold water and divert the water through the filter by pulling out/turning the knob on the diverter valve.

3. Allow it to run for several minutes to flush out the normal carbon fines (blackish specs). Initially, the water may contain tiny air bubbles and taste slightly sweet – this is normal and harmless and will clear up after flushing.
   

4. To stop the flow, either turn the diverter valve knob back or turn off the cold water at your faucet.

Replacing the Filter Cartridge

1. Turn off water.

2. Unscrew the housing from base by turning it counterclockwise using the supplied filter wrench.
   Note: If the housing seems stuck, soak base of the housing for 10 minutes in a mixture of hot water, and a little vinegar.

3. Remove the old cartridge and discard. At this point, it is recommended to clean the housing from inside.

4. Check the O-ring for wear & tear. (The O-ring rests in a groove 1“ down in the housing – black rubber ring as shown in the picture).
   ♦ If it is worn, replace it.
   ♦ If it is in good working condition, lubricate it with food-grade petroleum jelly to ensure it lies flat and prevents leaking.

5. Unwrap filter cartridge from the plastic wrap and place it on the filter base with the side marked up facing up (see picture on the right). Put the housing back on.
   Note: Before putting the housing back on, put some petroleum jelly on the plastic threads. This will make it easier to unscrew the housing the next time you change your filter cartridge.

6. Pick up the base and screw the housing tight enough with hand first. Doing it this way will prevent the O- ring from slipping loose and causing the filter to leak. Once the filter housing is hand tight, tighten it an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn with the supplied filter wrench to prevent any leakage.

7. Place the system on flat surface and turn on water supply. Let water run for several minutes to flush out normal carbon fines.
