Filter Assembly Installation

• 1). Turn off the water supply and open a nearby faucet to drain the pipe.
  
  
• 2). Wrap a 6-inch length of PTFE thread sealant tape in a clockwise direction around the threads of the two pipe adapters supplied in the installation kit.
  
  
• 3). Place the mounting bracket on top of the filter cap and align the inlet and outlet ports.
  
  
• 4). Screw the pipe adapters into the filter fittings by hand, then tighten with an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten.
  
  
• 5). Measure the total length of the fittings and filter cap assembly. Subtract 1 inch if the water supply pipe is 3/4-inch and 1.5 inches if the water supply pipe is 1/2-inch. Measure and mark the new total on the water supply pipe.
  
  
• 6). Cut the marked section from the water supply pipe using a hacksaw.
  
  
• 7). Place the supplied brass compression nuts and the brass ferrules on each end of the 3/4-inch pipe. If the water supply pipe is 1/2-inch, use the supplied rubber ferrule instead of the brass ferrule.
  
  
• 8). Align the filter assembly with the opening in the pipe. Verify that the filter cap port marked "In" is facing the incoming water.
  
  
• 9). Insert the pipe ends into both ports of the filter cap. Tighten both compression nuts with an adjustable wrench.

Filter Cartridge Replacement

• 5). Rinse out the filter housing and fill it one-third full with clean water. Add 2 tablespoons of bleach to the housing and scrub the housing and cap with a sponge or cloth. Rinse the housing thoroughly.
  
  
• 6). Lubricate the O-ring with petroleum jelly and replace it on the filter housing.
