Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art

Watts Premier Water Treatment system.

WP-1 LCV Water Treatment System:

Watts Premier WP-1 LCV water treatment system contains a heavy duty lead, cyst and VOC filter block. This specialty formulated block is capable of reducing lead, cryptosporidium, Giardia, Entamoeba as well as harmful Volatile Organic Chemicals

(See performance data sheet for complete list of VOC’s). It is estimated that VOC’s are present in one-fifth of the nation’s water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from a variety of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning industry. See performance data sheet for individual contaminants and reduction performance.

System Maintenance

Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Many contaminants in the drinking water are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter element, other bad tastes and odors will be apparent in your drinking water. This is why it is important to change out your filter at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual. When replacing any of the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further questions please refer to our website at www.wattspremier.com or call our customer service dept. at 1-800-752-5582.

Tools Recommended For Installation

√ A small knife

√ Variable Speed drill

√ 1/8” (3mm), 1/4” (6.4 mm) and 7/16” (11.0mm) Drill bits

√ 1/2” and 5/8” open-end wrenches (or adjustable Wrenches)

√ Phillips screwdriver

Installation

This system has been designed to fit under most kitchen sinks. Please read carefully before proceeding with installation.

Step 1: Mounting System Under Sink

(a) Locate a space under the sink that allows the unit to be mounted close to the cold water supply and allows for easy access during maintenance and filter changes.

System must be installed to the cold water supply only. Allow approximately 2” (5cm) clearance between the bottom of the filter housing and the floor of the sink cabinet.

(c) Using the mounting hole on the bracket, mark the location for the mounting screws on the cabinet wall under the sink.

(d) Screw the (2) screws into the wall at the marked location.

(e) Hang the module on the screws using the mounting holes in the bracket.

4

Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink

Note: Most sinks are pre drilled with 1 ½” or 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your faucet. (If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1)

Step 1

Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily.

Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts Premier accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.

Diamond tip drill bit is recommended for drilling in porcelain.

Determine desired location for the faucet on your sink and place a piece of masking tape over where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole on the tape.

Step 2 Using a variable speed drill set on the slowest speed, drill a

1

/

8

“ pilot hole through both porcelain and metal casing of sink at the marked center of the desired location. Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit cool (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip).

Step 3 Using a 1/2” Drill Bit, proceed to drill the larger hole. Keep drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the hole saw cool during cutting.

Step 4

Make sure the surroundings of the sink are cooled before mounting the faucet to the sink after drilling and remove all sharp edges.

Punch a Hole for the Faucet in a Stainless Steel Sink

Note: If mounting faucet to a Stainless Steel Sink you will need a 1/2”

Hole Punch. The faucet opening should be centered between the back splash and the edge of the sink, ideally on the same side as the vertical drain pipe.

Step 5

Drill a ¼ ” pilot hole. Use a

1

/

2

” Hole Punch and an adjustable wrench to punch the hole in the sink.

The faucet can now be installed.

5

Installation of Faucet

Step 1

Place the escutcheon chrome plate and the black rubber washer on the faucet shank. (Parts found in faucet parts bag).

Step 2 Insert the faucet shank through the hole in sink and let it rest on the sink top.

Step 3

From the underside of the sink, slide on the locating washer, lock washer and brass nut onto the shank. Check orientation of faucet then tighten brass nut

securely.

Step 4 Connect blue tube from the filtration system to the faucet shank.

Place the brass nut onto the tube, followed by the plastic sleeve (tapered end pointing to the end of tube) and then place the plastic insert into the end of the tube.

Step 5 Insert the assembled blue tube into the end of the faucet shank and use a wrench to tighten the brass nut securely.

6

Adapt-a-Valve Installation

Caution: Water supply line to the system must be from the cold water supply line.

Hot water will severely damage your system.

(A) Turn off the main supply water to the house.

(B) Turn off the cold water supply to the faucet by turning the angle stop valve clockwise until it is completely off. Drain any water in the line by opening the faucet cold side.

(C) Attach adapt-a-valve as illustrated in the center photo below, choosing the configuration that fits your plumbing.

(D) Attach the loose end of the green tube to the Adapt-a-Valve.

Insert the green tube into the ¼” opening on the adapt-a-valve until it stops.

(E) Turn on water supply and open the Adapt-a-valve. Check for leaks.

Configuration:

* Washer

Configuration for 3/8”

(With Brass Fittings)

* Insert White Washer

Supply

Configuration for 1/2”

(Without Brass Fittings)

System Start Up

(A) Turn faucet handle to the open position to start the flow of water through the unit. Run 7 gallons of water through the unit in order to flush out the normal black carbon fines (it will

“sputter” until the air is purged out) from the unit. Initially, the water may appear cloudy which is due to tiny air bubbles and it will clear up shortly. Close the faucet when finished.

(B) Check for leaks. If you have any leaks, shut off the water supply to your system, tighten any fittings / housings and restart unit.

7

FILTER CHANGE

Watts Premier recommends changing the filter element every 6 months.

Use Watts Premier’s replacement cartridge only. Other filters may look the same, but only filters by Watts are manfactured to fit your WP-1 filter unit in order to ensure proper reduction of water contaminants.

Carbon Block Filter

WP-1 LCV Part# 101014

(a) Turn off incoming water supply to the WP-1 at the adapta-valve. Note: There will be water in the filter housing.

Lift the faucet handle to relieve the water pressure.

(b) Remove filter housing from lid by turning it to the left, as shown in Figure D.

(c) Remove used filter cartridge and discard.

NOTE: Do not discard filter-housing o-ring.

(d) Clean inside of filter housing with warm soapy water and rinse to remove soap

(e) Lubricate o-ring with water-soluble lubricant (i.e. K-Y Jelly

® or Silicone lubricant).

NOTE: Do not use Petroleum based lubricants such as

Vaseline ®.

(f) Seat o-ring in groove in filter housing and insert new filter cartridges into filter housing.

(g) Screw filter housing onto lid as shown in Figure D.

(h) Turn on water supply to filter unit at the Adapt-a-Valve.

(i) Check system for leaks.
