PRECAUTIONS
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe,
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certied for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain lterable cysts.
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the lter and water leakage.
The rubber o-ring provides the water-tight seal between
the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important that the
o-ring be properly seated in the groove above the threads of the
housing or a water leak could occur.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced
every ten years. If the bottom of your housing has been in use for
longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately. Date
the bottom of any new or replacement housing to indicate the next
recommended replacement date.
Do not use electrical heating tape on this unit.
NOTES:
• For cold water use only.
• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this
water treatment device are not necessarily in your water. Ask your
local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have
your water tested by a reputable water testing lab.
• Filter cartridge life varies depending on lter type, usage, and
water conditions.
• The replacement lter cartridge used with this system has a
limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, or ow of the water
being ltered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
• Use only
OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges.
• This installation must comply with all applicable state and local
regulations.
• Use only plumber tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.
Do not use pipe compound (“pipe dope”), sticks, or similar
compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives
which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the lter
housing.
• Use only soap and water to clean lter housing and components.
• After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it is
recommended that the system be ushed thoroughly. Let water
run for 5-6 minutes before using.
• Wear safety glasses during installation.
• Spent adsorption media will not be regenerated and used.
• If adsorption media is affected by chlorine, inuent will need to
be treated to remove chlorine.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
• Please read all instructions, specications, and precautions
before installing and using your water lter.
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.
Installation
1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter
The supply adapter ts 1/2”-14 NPS supply threads or
3/8” x 3/8” compression. If local codes permit, it may be used
to connect the system to the cold water supply line. If local
codes do not permit the use of the supply adapter, alternate
connectors can be obtained from your local supplier.
A. Turn off cold water supply line. If cold water line does not
have a shut-off valve under the sink, you should install one.
B. Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all water to drain
from line.
C. Disconnect riser cold water supply valve.
D. Ensure the sealing gasket is fully seated into the feed
adapter valve female thread.
E. Install feed adapter valve onto supply valve as desired.
The feed adapter valve may be installed at the bottom of
the supply hose or the top of the cold water line.
Hand tighten only.
F. Connect the riser to the feed adapter valve.
