Test the Filter System for Proper Operation
1 Turn on the cold water shut-off valve under the sink.
2 Turn on the new Faucet for Filtered Water D. In order for the Filter System to flush out any air and carbon fines (fine black powder)
from the QuickTwist
Filter, allow the water to run for approximately 10 minutes.
3 Check for any leaks between the System Head assembly and Filter; around all fittings; on Kitchen Faucet Adapter H connection;
and on faucet/tubing connection.
If there are leaks between the System Head assembly and the QuickTwist
Filter:
n Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the Filter System and turn on the Faucet for Filtered Water to drain the water and release pressure.
n Remove the QuickTwist
Filter and inspect the O-Rings around the nozzles on top of it. Make sure they are in place and free from dirt and particles.
n Turn off the Faucet for Filtered Water.
n Replace the QuickTwist
Filter by lifting it straight up into the System Head until the two nozzles seat into the ports and the two extended flanges on top of the QuickTwist
Filter are fully
engaged into the System Head. Turn the QuickTwist
Filter counter-clockwise until it stops.
n Turn the cold water supply valve back on and turn on the Faucet for Filtered Water.
If there are leaks around the fittings:
n Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the Filter System to release pressure in the System.
n While pulling the 1/4" Plastic Tubing
L with one hand, press in on the grey collar around the inlet and/or outlet fitting. Check to make sure that the 1/4" Plastic Tubing is cut squarely and that it
is not scratched. If the 1/4" Plastic Tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, cut off 1/2" to 5/8" and re-install the Plastic Tubing (see Step 5 of Installation Instructions).
n Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the Faucet for Filtered Water.
If there are leaks on the Kitchen Faucet Adapter connection:
n Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the Filter System to release pressure in the System.
n Locate the Kitchen Faucet Adapter.
If the 1/4" Plastic Tubing is leaking, follow the previous steps (“If there are leaks around the fittings”).
If the thread between the Kitchen Faucet Adapter and the kitchen faucet stem is leaking, tighten more securely. If leaking continues, disconnect the 1/4" Plastic Tubing and remove the
Kitchen Faucet Adapter. Wrap the Kitchen Faucet Adapter and the threaded faucet stem with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2 of Installation Instructions).
If the thread between the Kitchen Faucet Adapter and the cold water supply line is leaking, tighten more securely. If leaking continues, disconnect the 1/4" Plastic Tubing and remove the
Kitchen Faucet Adapter. Wrap the Kitchen Faucet Adapter and the cold water supply line with plumber’s tape and re-install (see Step 2 of Installation Instructions).
n Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the Faucet for Filtered Water.
If leaks continue, turn off the water supply and call Customer Service or your local plumber.
