You must followtheir guidelines as you install the water filtration system.= Do not use this system on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknownquality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.= This system is only for use on COLD water (100°F / 38°C max.). Do not install ona hot water supply.= Do not install this system where it will be exposed to outdoor weather or directsun.= Do not install or store this system where it will be exposed to temperatures belowfreezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.= The maximum operating water pressure of this system is 100 pounds per squareinch. If your home water supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, install a pressurereducing valve before installing the water filtration system.INSTALLATION LOCATION:To filter water to a faucet, install the undersink filtration system on the COLD supplywater pipe to that faucet (See Figure 1).NOTE: A mounting bracket and screws are included to support the filter assembly(See Figure 2).6. Before turning the water back on, install the filter cartridge (not included), as shownin “FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT”.7. Fully open a cold water faucet downstream of the filter, then slowly turn the watersupply back on and check for leaks.8. Turn off the cold water faucet when the water flow becomes smooth.GROUNDING INFORMATION:The house cold water pipe is often used to ground electrical outlets in the home.Grounding protects you from electrical shock. Installing the water filter may have bro-ken this ground. To restore, buy and install a #4 copper wire across the filter, tightlyclamped at both ends, as shown in Figure 1.FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT:Utilizes EPW4C, EPW4P, EPW4F and other standard 4-1/2” x 10” filter cartridges.NOTE: A special wrench is included for removing the sump.CAUTION: Never remove the sump with water pressure in the filter.1. Close the water supply shutoff valve to the filter (See Figure 1). To relieve pressurein the filter, press the vent valve on top of the filter head (See Figure 3) or open acold water house faucet downstream of the filter.2. Turn the sump to the left to remove from the head (See Figure 3). Be careful, as thesump is full of water. Do not lose the large o-ring seal.3. Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash with warm, soapy waterand rinse.4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter cartridge intothe sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit only one way. Observemarkings on the cartridge, or on the wrapper.5. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal, in the sump, with silicone grease (available at yourlocal hardware store). Be sure it is fully seated in the groove.6. Hold the sump up to the filter head, aligning the center hole in the cartridge with theprotrusion on the bottom of the head.NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head, you may have the cartridge inupside down or not centered in the sump. Take the cartridge out and check forcorrect orientation.7. Being careful not to cross-thread, turn the sump to the right onto the filter head andtighten securely. Do not overtighten.8. Partially open a house faucet downstream of the filter housing. Then, slowly openthe water supply shutoff valve (See Figure 1) and allow the filter housing to fill withwater. While it is filling, press the filter vent valve to release air in the filter.9. Close the faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump and the head.Questions?
