EPU2 Undersink Water Filter

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY GUIDES:

= Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow

their guidelines as you install the water filtration system.

= Do not use this system on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown

quality 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 on a

hot water supply.

= Do not install this system where it will be exposed to outdoor weather or direct sun.

= Do not install or store this system where it will be exposed to temperatures below

freezing. Water freezing in the system will damage it.

= The maximum operating water pressure of this system is 100 pounds per square

inch. If your home water supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, install a pressure

reducing valve before installing the water filtration system.

INSTALLATION LOCATION:

To filter water to a faucet, install the undersink filtration system on the COLD supply

water pipe to that faucet (See Figure 1).

NOTE: A mounting bracket and screws are included to support the filter assembly

(See Figure 2).

When tightening compression nuts, be sure to use a second wrench to hold the 3/8”

NPT fitting while turning the nut.

6. Fully open the cold water faucet downstream of the filter, then slowly turn the water

supply back on and check for leaks.

7. Turn off the cold water faucet when the water flow becomes smooth.

FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT:

Utilizes EPU2G and other standard 2-1/2” x 10” filter cartridges.
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 pressure

in the filter, open the cold water faucet downstream of the filter.

2. Turn the sump to the left to remove from the head (See Figure 3). Be careful,

as the sump 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 water

and rinse.

4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter cartridge into

the sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit only one way. Observe

markings on the cartridge, or on the wrapper.

5. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal, in the sump, with silicone grease (available at your

local 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 the

protrusion on the bottom of the head.

NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head, you may have the cartridge in

upside down or not centered in the sump. Take the cartridge out and check

for correct orientation.

7. Being careful not to cross-thread, turn the sump to the right onto the filter head

and tighten securely. Do not overtighten.

8. Partially open the faucet downstream of the filter housing. Then, slowly open the

water supply shutoff valve (See Figure 1) and allow the filter housing to fill with water.

9. Close the faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump and the head.

1. Obtain two 3/8” male NPT adaptors

(not included) of an appropriate size

and type to adapt to the sink’s

existing cold water supply pipe.

2. Shut off the hot and cold water

supply to the sink and open the

faucet(s) to relieve pressure in the

cold water pipe.

3. Cut out a section of the COLD water

supply pipe several inches long,

as needed to install the filter as

shown in Figure 1.

4. Apply 4 wraps of teflon tape to the

threads of the 3/8” male NPT

adaptors (not included) and carefully

turn them into the filter’s inlet and

outlet ports.

groove in the sump.

10. If using a Taste and Odor

Cartridge: A taste and odor

cartridge contains activated

carbon, a black powder. After

the new cartridge is installed,

open the faucet downstream

of the filter housing and allow

carbon particles to purge from

the cartridge. Close the faucet

when you no longer see

“fines” (discoloration) in the
