Installation Instructions

1. Unpack the System: Carefully remove the filtration system from its packaging and check all parts against the included list to ensure everything is present.
2. Choose Location: Select an installation site that is close to the main water supply line and is capable of supporting the weight of the system. Ensure there's enough space for future filter changes.
3. Mounting: If mounting on a wall, use suitable anchors and screws to secure the system. Ensure it is level and sturdy before proceeding.
4. Prepare the Water Lines: Shut off the main water supply. Cut the main water line where you wish to install the filtration system and prepare the ends for connection.
5. Install Fittings: Apply Teflon tape generously to the threaded ends of the filter system, and connect the fittings as per the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Connect Water Lines: Connect the inlet and outlet water lines to the corresponding ports on the filter system, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection.
7. Install Pre-Filter (optional): If using a pre-filter, install it before the main filtration unit following similar steps.
8. Flush the System: Before using, flush the system by running water through it for at least 30 minutes to settle the carbon and clear any manufacturing debris.
9. Check for Leaks: Once the system is installed and flushed, check for any leaks and tighten connections if necessary.

Operation Guidelines

• Use the system with cold water only. The lower temperature rating is 4.44 Degrees Celsius.
• Regularly monitor the pressure gauges to ensure consistent water pressure.
• Change the filters approximately every 6 months, or as needed based on water quality and usage.
• When replacing filters, use silicone grease to ensure a good seal on the gasket.
• Remember that the filter threads are REVERSED; right to loosen and left to tighten.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Low Water Pressure: Check if the filters are clogged and need replacement. Also, ensure there are no kinks in the pipes or leaks.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections are tight. Reapply Teflon tape and re-tighten fittings if necessary.
• Unusual Taste/Smell: If the water has an odd taste or smell after installation, flush the system for an additional 15-30 minutes. If the issue persists, check and replace the filters.
