PART II. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM
Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation (an area of about
15”L x 6”W x 12”H for the system).
The system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible you can
install the system anywhere where there is a cold water supply with sufficient water
pressure.
Mounting: No need to mount the system on the wall. The system can stand in the sink cabinet
without mounting, this makes future filter change easy and convenient. If you prefer
to mount the system to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for
filter replacement.
Step 1: Feed Water Connection
The system must be connected to the COLD water supply only!
1. Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink (the round or oblong handle on
the right side). Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning the shut off handle
clockwise.
Note: If the cold water shut off valve can not turn off the water, the main water supply
to the house must be shut off for the installation. Another option is to use a “self
piercing saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store.
2. Feed Water Adapter (1/2” to 3/8”): See Fig. 5. The Feed Water Adapter comes with a sepa-
rate Needle Valve. The Adapter goes inline onto your 1/2” or 3/8” cold water pipe. The Needle
Valve portion screws onto the Adapter as shown in Fig. 5A.
