Your new Aqua-Pure ® AP510 Full Flow Drinking Water System will reduce chlorine tastes and odors, particulate and
scale from your drinking water. The filter installs under the sink on the cold water line and uses the existing faucet. The
AP510 features its own automatic shut-off, thereby eliminating the need for any external valves. The installation proce-
dure covered in this manual requires the removal of a section of the cold water tube. Soft copper tubing and compres-
sion fittings should be purchased locally to complete the installation.
1. Position the filter by holding it against the right hand side of the cabinet wall
underneath the sink. Allow at least 3” (7.6 cm) beneath the filter to install car-
tridge. Determine a desirable location for the filter installation and inlet connec-
tion. Attach the mounting bracket to appropriate mounting bosses on filter head
with the self-tapping screws supplied. (Figure 1)
2. For installation using machine screws and nuts, remove drawer from adjacent
cabinet and drill two 7/32” diameter holes through cabinet wall. Fasten filter
bracket to wall with screws, nuts and washers. Use washers on both sides of the
wall. Mounting to the cabinet side wall gives the filter good, rigid support. (Figure
2) For installation using sheet metal screws, simply prick punch at marked loca-
tion (Step 1), position bracket in place, and install screws with screwdriver.
