Installation Instructions continued from the previous page Connect Tubing: 1. Use a tube cutter 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 3/4" length of tube into the fitting.

Filter Cartridge Life Filter Cartridges Filter Cartridges: A filter cartridge contains activated carbon. When new, open the filtered water faucet and allow fine, carbon particles to purge from the cartridge. Flush for 20 minutes. It is recommended to replace filter cartridge every six months of use. There are several variables that determine how long a cartridge will last. These include: 1. How much water you use, and 2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other unwanted substance, is in the water.

Troubleshooting the System Problem: Taste and/or Odor. Cause: Filter cartridge exhausted. Correction: Replace filter cartridge. Cause: System contaminated. Problem: Water leaks at push connect fittings. Correction: Sanitize system. Call 1-866-986-3223 for instructions. Cause: Tubing not pushed in all the way. Correction: Push tubing in all the way into fittings. Cause: Tubing nicked. Correction: Remove nicked portion, reinsert tubing into fitting. Cause: Tubing not cut square.
