Installation Instructions.
Important Installation Recommendations
WARNING: Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guides and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.
■Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Water Filtration system.
Tools and Materials Required for Installation
• Phillips screwdriver
• Two (2) adjustable wrenches
• Electric drill and drill bit to drill 3/4″ hole (type as required) if mounting hole is needed for faucet
• 1/16″ drill bit (optional for pilot holes)
• Tape measure
• If your main water line is a rigid pipe, you will require a compression fitting and possibly other plumbing hardware to complete
the installation.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the sink, consult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling procedures. Special drill bits may
be needed for porcelain or stainless steel.
Contents Included with the Product

Influent challenge levels are average influent concentrations determined in surrogate qualification testing.
2
µg/L means Micrograms Per Liter.
3
Maximum product water level was not observed but was set at the detection limit of the analysis.
4
Maximum product level is set at a value determined in surrogate qualification testing.
5
Chemical reduction percent and maximum product water level calculated at chloroform 95% breakthrough point as determined in surrogate qualification testing.
6
The surrogate test results for heptachlor Epoxide demonstrated a 98% reduction. These data were used to calculate an upper occurrence concentration, which would produce a maximum product water level at the MCL.

Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions; actual performance may vary.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected waters that contain filterable cysts.
