IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT “TDS METERS” AND TESTERS

Q) When I use a Total Dissolved Particle (TDS) reader to test my water after it goes through the Pearl water filtration system, why don’t the levels of dissolved particles go down or decrease? I don’t think the product is working.

The Pearl water filter system is not designed to remove beneficial minerals from your drinking water. These minerals that occur naturally are a healthy part of your drinking water and should remain. The Brondell Pearl water filter is designed to dramatically reduce water-soluble harmful contaminants, including industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, turbidity, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), and microorganisms, most of which cannot be “read” with a TDS reader.

Since these harmful components are water-soluble, they cannot be picked up by a simple TDS meter. Contrary to its name (Total Dissolved Solids or TDS Meter), these inexpensive products cannot detect most harmful water-soluble contaminants. There is a major misconception that low TDS readings mean healthy water and that is simply not always true.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the instruction guide for proper installation

If faucet has threads on the interior (after removing the aerator/faucet spout tip) you will need to use one of the provided faucet diverter adapters during installation.

1. Unscrew original aerator (faucet spout tip) from your water faucet.

2. Connect the faucet diverter to water faucet by hand tightening using any adapters as needed.
   If needed, use a wrench (spanner) or pliers, but be careful not to over tighten. Use 2 faucet diverter adapters (included) as needed for proper connection.

3. Connect the inlet hose to the inlet connection under the base. Then connect the other end of the hose to the faucet diverter.
   

4. Connect the supplied nozzle spout to outlet hole.
   Be sure to push in all the way.

5. Make sure the unit is placed securely on a flat surface and ensure the diverter is in the closed position to avoid spills.

6. Turn on faucet with cold water, turn diverter to open position and check all connections. Let water run through filter for 5 minutes to flush and activate filter.
   

DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

Tips for using the Brondell H2O+ Water Filtration system

1. After installing the product
   Flush and activate filter by running cold water for 5 minutes and be sure to check all connections for any leaking.

2. When not in use for prolonged periods
   If water has been sitting in filter for a long time without use, run cold water for 5 minutes to flush prior to use.

3. Regularly replace filter – at least once every six months
   It’s important to replace the filter on a regular basis. Replace when the filter change indicator on the top shows more than half red when in use or within 6 months from last filter change, whichever comes first. To help manage when to change filter write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen. If the filter is overused beyond its recommended service life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not miss the filter replacement cycle.

Tips

When not in use for a long time, close the main water supply valve under sink at wall and disconnect the unit.

HOW TO USE

1. Turn on faucet and turn diverter switch to the open position.
   

2. Filtered water will be supplied from nozzle instantly.
   

3. To use faucet normally just turn the diverter to the closed position.

4. Remember to close diverter after each use.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Caution

1. Water filtration device installation location
   Do not install the water filtration system on an uneven surface, in a damp area or an area where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Water filtration device installation location
   Please install unit so that it is 4 inches or more from the wall(s) and the base is flat and firm.

3. After installing the water filtration system
   Flush and activate filter by running cold water for 5 minutes.

4. Run only cold water
   If you run hot water, the filter may become damaged. If hot water has accidentally been run through the filter, we recommend replacing it.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

Filter

The Brondell carbon block filter is critical to the performance of the H2O+ water filtration system and it’s important to replace the filter on a regular basis. If the filter is overused beyond its recommended service
life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not miss the filter replacement cycle or use non-compatible filters as this can affect system performance or damage the unit.

• To help manage when to change filter write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen.

Filter replacement cycle

The Brondell carbon block filter should be replaced when the filter change indicator on the top shows more than half red when in use or within 6 months from last filter change, whichever comes first. The filter replacement lifecycle may depend on the incoming water supply quality and poor quality water can shorten the regular replacement lifecycle.

• The period for the filter exchange is made based on 0.84 Gallons use per household per day.

Model H625

About filter replacement cycle
The filter replacement cycle described above is not the filter quality warranty period but the expected cycle (life) that the filter will continue to perform at the original performance level.

• The filter replacement cycle may be reduced for areas with poor water quality or greater use.

FILTER REPLACEMENT METHOD

1. Turn diverter switch to the closed position.
   

2. Unscrew the base and separate it from the main body. Remove the old filter by firmly pulling it out of the main body.
   

3. Secure new filter onto the base by firmly pushing down until connections are tight.
   Write the filter change date on filter label with permanent pen. Insert the filter back into main body.

4. Screw the base into the main body.
