Pressure reducing valve (PRV) at main water supply to maintain pressure at or below 75

PSI or the addition of a Pressure Limiting Valve (item# FMP-60) on the inlet tube prior to

the point of use unit

•Follow instructions for Connection of Tubing.

Access the filter unit, remove tubing by depressing the collet and pulling tubing out. Us-

ing a utility razor knife, squarely cut 1/2” off tubing from the end. Make sure end of tubing

is not flattened Reinsert the tubing into the fitting as far as possible. Check for leaks.

•Tug on tubing (do not pull hard) to check fitting and the integrity of the connection

•Upon inspection, prior to install or a result of proper start-up and inspection and fitting is

damaged, then replace part

Replace part

Replace part

•Turn main water supply on, •Turn water supply at angle stop

•Angle Stop Valve not open, •Open dispenser/faucet

Unit may not operate properly at less than 25 PSI feed line pressure (max: 75 PSI)

Make longer loop with tubing to remove kink or bend

If there is flow through the kitchen faucet than there is a need to replace sediment and/

or other filters based on water conditions and usage

•Spout pulls out from faucet body that’s why it swivels. Spout has 2 o-rings at base and is

inserted completely into bottom of body to prevent leaking.

•Replace the supplied faucet dispenser (item# depends on any finish option)

•Check connections at various locations and re-connect, re-insert, tighten and/or correct.

•Consult with Mfg of other product and/or installer to check connections at various loca-

tions and reconnect, re-insert, tighten and/or correct.

•Check connections and/or correct.

•Follow the inlet supply water instructions in this manual

•Locate and align O-ring(s) into groove at top

•Replace filter cartridge or Remove filter cartridge and re-insert and lock correctly

•Replace filter cartridge and correct issue that caused the problem (no plumbing

needed)

•Remove filter cartridge and re-insert and lock correctly

•Locate and align O-ring into groove inside cap

•Replace part (item # P-H-UV-ONLY or P-H-UV-4PIN which includes lamp) and correct

issue that caused the problem (no plumbing needed)

•Connect lamp cord and/or Plug in transformer.

•Make sure unit plugged into an unswtiched electrical outlet. Check GFI reset. Surge sup-

pression is highly recommended

•Replace UV Lamp

•Replace filters and follow start up procedures

•Flush system by running water, replace filters

•Determine what changed in your water supply and Flush, Replace or change type of

water treatment system based on local water conditions. Call your municipality or have

your well tested.

•Hydrogen sulfide, iron and manganese must be removed from household water supply

before filter system. Visit our web site for other systems.

•Specify the correct system for the application

It is simply - air. Check by filling glass and watch air dissipate. Run and flush system for

several minutes.

Sometimes it takes 24 - 48 hours to totally clear due to the full bed depth of our filters
