2. INSTALLATION

This unit is designed for under sink installation with plumb-

ing to an existing cold water line which connects to an

existing faucet or to a second faucet. Refer to Figure 1

which illustrates a typical installation.

Turn off water by closing the undersink shut-off valve on

the cold water side. Drain the cold water line by opening

the cold water faucet. Position the unit in an easily acces-

sible and convenient location. Cut a segment out of the

cold water line downstream from the shut-off valve so that

the filter can be plumbed in line.

The filter comes with two 3/8” O.D. polyethylene hook up

lines. The lines have fittings installed on each end but not

connected to the unit for shipping purposes. On one end of

the tubing, there is a brass union that is used to connect to

the plumbing. On the other end, there is a plastic fitting

used to connect to your filter manifold. DO NOT PLACE

THE SUPPLIED PLASTIC FERRULES ON THE END OF

THE POLY TUBING WITH THE PLASTIC FITTING. See

Figure 2. Connect one of the plastic fittings to the filter

manifold inlet and the other to the filter manifold outlet.

Hand tighten fittings only. The filter comes factory assem-

bled to connect to 3/8” O.D. copper tubing. If existing

plumbing utilizes 3/8” O.D. polybutylene tubing, remove the

brass compression ferrules from the open ends of the

unions and replace with the supplied plastic compression

ferrules (See Figure 2.) The union connected to the side of

the filter marked “IN” can now be installed to the cold water

line coming from the water source. Push the union com-

pletely onto the cold water line and securely tighten. Next

push the union connected to the side of the filter marked

“OUT” completely on to the line going to the cold water

faucet and securely tighten the compression nut.

NOTE: If installing a secondary faucet, “tee” the inlet side

of the filter into the cold water line and connect the outlet

filter line to the second faucet.

3. STARTING THE UNIT

Close the faucet the and remove the aerator screen. Turn

on the water and slowly open the faucet a slight amount to

allow the air to bleed out. As the air is expelled and water

begins to flow smoothly, open the faucet about halfway and

allow to run. The water will appear black at first due to car-

bon particles being flushed through system. Allow the

water to run until it clears and no air is left in the line.

Replace the aerator screen.

Carbon takes a day or two to “wet out”, so periodic black

color may appear. The aerator screen may require clean-

ing, especially if pressure drop or low flow is noticed within

the first few days.

IMPORTANT: At start up, new mineral will entrain air into

the water stream. This can cause the water to have a milky

appearance. This is a normal, harmless condition that

should last no more than a few days depending upon water

usage.

4. WHEN TO REPLACE CARBON

As carbon adsorbs taste, odor and chlorine from your

water, its capacity diminishes. As the adsorptive properties

of the carbon diminish, it must be replaced. Because water

supplies across the country vary, the effective life of the

carbon depends upon the concentration of contaminants

and the amount of water that has been run through the

filter. It is recommended that the carbon and distributor

tube be replaced at least every three years. Some installa-

tions will require more frequent replacement. Use only

replacement carbon and distributor tubes designed for

your filter, and in the specified amounts. DO NOT MAKE

SUBSTITUTIONS, as there are many qualities and grades

of carbon available. A replacement carbon and distributor

tube kit (Part No. 136227) is available and should be

installed according to the replacement kit instructions.

NOTE: WHEN INSTALLING YOUR FILTER, RECORD THE

INSTALLATION DATE FOR FUTURE REPLACEMENT

REFERENCE OF FILTER (CARBON) MINERAL.

6. REPLACING MINERAL

Shut off water supply and open faucet to relieve pressure

in filter. Loosen compression nuts and disconnect unions

from plumbing. Remove entire filter from under sink and

move to outside area or place where carbon can be

replaced without worry about a small mess. Unscrew the

distributor head from the tank and pull out distributor tube.
