SAFETYPRECAUTIONS• Use the _,\'ater Filtration sxstem on a potnble saie-t(.dfink, l_ome COLDwater supply only. The filter canister3 will not pmJt} the water;

or make it safe to drink.

• Do notuse on a hot water supply (100°F max.).

A WARNING:Donotusewithwaterthatismicrobiologicallyunsafeorofunknown_uali_withoutadequatedisinfectionbefore or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction maybe used on dNinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

PROPERINSTALLATIONThis Water Filtration system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

• Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below fl'eezing or exposed to any type of weather: Water fl'eezing in thesystem will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.

.&WARNING:Oiscard all unused and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could bea choke hazard.

NOTE: If inlet valve needs to be removed to complete this step, refer to D. Removal and Reinsta//ation of Inlet Valve onpage 8.

8. Reconnect faucet tubing line (g) to top of adapter (C).

Z Remove ntlt and ferrule fl'om end of inlet valve. Using the 4 feet of tubing provided, place the ntlt (1) and ferrule (H) ontothe tubing and install onto inlet wflve (F) as shown in Fig. 9. Tighten with a(!justable wrench.NOTE: Inspect theon& of the tubing to be sure thereare no imperfections and end of tubing is cut square.It maybe necessan/to cut the tubing again.

B. OPTIONALHOME INSTALLATION--SADDLE VALVE

(Whore codes permit): Saddle valve must be able to connect with 1/4-inch tubing supplied with system.

Not supplied with product; check your local hardware or home service store for product.

For I/Z" OD or larger metal robing only.

NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of the saddle valve.For installation, use plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

I. Turn oflthe cold water supply and install saddle valve as required by product selection. (Be sure to follow manufi_cmre_'installation instructions.)

A DANGER:,f hole is required to be drilled in pipe, to protect yourself from serious injury or fatal shock, use a battery

powered hand drift only to make the hole. DO NOT USE AN ELECTRICDRILL.

Open only after complete system has been installed.

C. OPTIONALINSTALLATION(Forinstallation with rigid pipe betweensupplyvalveand sink faucet)

Installation Instructions.FaucetInstallation

Be sure there is room underneath and above the sink to make the needed connections, getOre starting, make sure there is sufficientroom for the batte_ T powered timcet base. Select one of the tollowing places to install the timcet:

I. In an existing sink spray attachment or soap dispenser hole.

2. In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.

3. In a hole to be drilled in the countertop, next to the sink.

NOTE:Be sure the faucet base wfft fit flat agalbst the surfaceat the selected locationso the bottomgasket between thebase andsurfacearea will seal

Installation Steps (refer to Fig. # for clarification)

I. If drilling is needed, make a 3/4" diameter hole.Be sure to use theproper procedure for drilling porcelain or stainless steel. Special drill bits may be needed. Consult a qualified plumber

for the proper procedure.

2. Remove the timcet with ix'e-installed tubing, thin _>fing (D), tmuet base (E), bottom base gasket (17), lock washer (G), hex nut (H)

and mounting bracket (l) fl'om the packaging.

3. Feed tubing connected to the tilucet through the thin o-ring (D), tilucet base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock washer (G) andhex nut (H).

4. Thread the hex nut (H) tlI) the stem ot the tilucet until the height between the bottom of the base gasket (F) and top ot the lockwasher (G) is slightly larger than the thickness of the mounting stlrtilce (]).

5. I.ower the fhucet assembly into place in the mounting hole and orient to final position. Place the mounting bracket (I)

above the lock washer (G) around the taucet stem (Fig. 5). While holding the mounting bracket in place, securely tightenthe hex nut.
