INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 1 - COLD WATER SUPPLY FITTING
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold feed (supply) water fitting.
The fitting must provide a leak- tight connection to the water filter 3 / 8" tubing. A typical connection using the included water supply fitting is shown in FIG.2 - A. An optional connection using standard plumbing fittings
(not included), is shown in B.
A.
WATER SUPPLY FITTING
1. Close the house main water shutoff valve and open faucets to drain water from the sink cold water pipe.
2. Remove nut that connects the cold water faucet to cold water plumbing.
3. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on cold water faucet stud threads and on the male threads of the water supply fitting that connect to the cold water pipe.
4.
Thread water supply fitting onto pipe and reconnect nut to bottom of fitting.
B. OPTIONAL

FITTINGS shown)
Note: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a low faucet to drain the pipe.
Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 3 / 8" OD tubing.
A typical connection is shown in figure 2B. If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound or
Teflon tape on outside threads.

INSTALLATION STEPS
STEP 4 - MAKE TUBING CONNECTIONS
1. Allowing some slack, measure and cut a length of
3/8" tubing to connect between the supply fitting and the filter system inlet, FIG. 1. Cut the ends of the tubing square.
2. Insert tubing all the way into the supply fitting and inlet fitting.
Pull on the tubing to be sure that it's held firmly in the fitting.
3. Repeat steps I and 2 to connect tubing between the filter system outlet and the adaptor on the bottom of the faucet stud, FIG.
1.
TUBING CONNECTION
(all pushin fitting locations)
This system includes pushin fittings for quick tubing connection at most locations.
If working with the fittings do the following.
Connection, FIG. 5 - A:
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing square.
2. Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots.
If needed cut the tubing again.
3. Push tubing through the collet and all the way into fitting.
Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing, and 3/4" for 3/8" tubing.
If tubing other than supplied with the system is used, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and roundness with a smooth surface.
To Disconnect Tubing, FIG.
5 - B: Push the collet inward and hold with a finger while pulling the tubing out.

Improper placement of batteries could damage electronics.
Use care when inserting batteries to align them correctly in manifold with the proper polarity.
If the faucet LED indicator light does not function after a battery change, and the batteries are known to be good and installed properly, there may be a residual charge on the static protection device.
To dissipate this charge, remove the batteries for one hour.
Batteries need to be replaced once a year at the time of filter replacement.

5. Lightly lubricate the o- ring seal in the sump with silicone grease or Vaseline.
Be sure it is fully seated in its groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head aligning the protrusion on the cartridge with the center hole in the bottom of the head.
