INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSMODEL UC205 (Please save for future reference.)INTRODUCTIONYour Undersink Water Filter contains a Block Activated Carbon Cartridge (CF2) that reduces chlorine 90%, objectionable taste,odour, colour and filters sediment, dirt, rust and algae. The cartridge lasts up to 6 months or 1000 US gal / 3785L.Installation Caution; Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfectionbefore or after the unit. For effective disinfection install a Rainfresh UV Disinfection System.If water pressure surges or will atany time exceed the 100 psi maximum, a pressure regulator must be installed before the filter (recommended regulator setting is75 psi 517 kPa or less) along with a water hammer arrestor to prevent potentially damaging shocks caused by water hammer.Note: For cold water use onlyINSTALLATION (Tools required: pipe cutter, 2 adjustable wrenches, Phillips screwdriver)System and installation shall comply with state and local regulations.1. Turn off water supply and drain pipes.2. Remove sump (520) from head (2501) by turning it 1/8th turn to left, then pulling away from head. Remove CF2 cartridge bytwisting and gently pulling away from head boss, remove plastic wrap from cartridge and replace onto head boss. Replacesump onto head and turn 1/8th turn to right fully to stop (lock position).3. Choose and mark spots on ½" cold water pipe and farther up on 3/8" faucet supplytube where you will cut. Note: If cold water pipe is ½" straight to faucet thenyou will require a 5/8" x 3/8" compression union (available at most plumbingoutlets) in place of 3/8" x 3/8" compression union supplied.4. Mount bracket (1504) on wall under sink. Hang filter unit in bracket with ventbutton at back and make sure tubes (1506) will reach from pipe marks to filterinlet and outlet. Note: Make sure that filter unit has 3" clearance above andbelow.Making the Water Line Connections5. Using a tube cutter cut ½" copper pipe and 3/8" copper or plastic supply tube atmarked locations and remove burrs so cuts are smooth. Remove ½" nut andbrass sleeve from valve (1503) and slide over ½" pipe. Slide valve onto pipeuntil it bottoms with 3/8" arm facing filter and tighten securely with wrenchwhile holding body of valve with another wrench.6. Install one 24" tube (1506) onto 3/8" thread of valve (1503) using brass nut(720-0), plastic sleeve (721-1) and tube insert (722-0). Slide nut and sleeveonto 24" tube and place insert into end of tube. Hold tube all the way intofitting and tighten by hand. Then, holding body of fitting with one wrench,tighten nut securely with another wrench (See Fig. 2).7. Install 3/8" union (1507) onto other 24" tube (1506) using nut and plasticsleeve on union and tube insert (722-0). (See Fig.2). Tighten securely.8. Now connect open end of union to 3/8" copper supply tube using nut andbrass sleeve on union and tighten securely (See Fig. 2). You do not need atube insert for this connection. Note: If 3/8" supply tube is plastic useremaining plastic sleeve (721-1) and tube insert (722-0) with union and tightensecurely (see Fig. 2).Connecting the Tubes to the Filter9. Connect tube coming from valve (1503) to inlet fitting of filter on side of filterwith arrow running into filter head (see Fig. 3). Now connect tube from union tooutlet fitting of filter on side of filter with arrow running out of filter head (seeFig.3).10. Make sure filter is assembled. Open valve and faucet. Turn on water supplyand check for leaks with water running and stopped. Carefully retighten anyleaking fittings. It is a good idea to check the unit a few times for slow leaksshortly after installation. Allow water to run for 10 minutes to flush unit thenclose faucet and allow unit to sit overnight to condition.In the morning flush the unit briefly before beginning service. Your filter is now in operation.Fig. 2Fig. 3
