OPERATION
To receive filter water, fully open cold water and pull valve stem. Allow water to flush for 3 seconds before each use. When your water needs are finished, simply turn off the cold water.
WARNING: Do not attempt to filter hot water above 100°F (37.7°C). It will damage the filter cartridge and decrease performance.
NOTE: If it is necessary to connect a portable dishwasher to your faucet, simply unscrew the aerator from the filter and attach the dishwasher according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Filter Cartridge Replacement
1 | Turn off the water to the filtration system. Remove the old filter cartridge by using |
the finger tabs underneath the housing and turning the filter in the direction |
shown. Be sure to support the faucet and the filter housing during filter removal to avoid damage. Dispose of old cartridge.
NOTE: Some water may drip from the system during filter cartridge removal.
2 | Insert new filter cartridge into the filter housing and turn | |
stops. Slowly turn on the cold water and check for leaks. | ||
| ||
| NOTE: If leak occurs at filter, turn cartridge to make sure it is fully sealed. | |
| With the cold water fully open, pull the valve stem to begin flushing the system. | |
3 | ||
Flush new filters for 10 minutes to remove any harmless carbon fines that may be | ||
|
in the system.

Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions; actual performance may vary.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that contain filterable cysts.
