2. Setup and Installation
The Everpure H-300 system is designed for straightforward installation under your kitchen sink. Basic hand tools are typically sufficient for installation.
Required Tools:
- Phillips screwdriver or power driver
- Wrench
- Utility knife
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Teflon tape
Installation Steps (Overview):
- Choose Mounting Position: Select a location under the sink with at least 22 inches of vertical clearance. The filter must be installed vertically with the cartridge hanging down.
- Prepare Filter Head: Attach the input and output elbow fittings to the filter head using Teflon tape on the threads. The output fitting has a black band.
- Mount Filter Head: Securely mount the filter head to the chosen position.
- Connect Water Supply: Close the main shut-off valve for your sink. Add the H-300's valve adapter to the faucet supply line.
- Connect Tubing: Use flexible tubing to connect the valve adapter to the filter head's input. Measure and cut the tubing at a 90-degree angle to prevent leaks. Insert the tube ends into the quick-connect fittings and gently pull to ensure a snug connection.
- Connect to Faucet: Connect the filtered water line from the filter head's output to your dedicated drinking water faucet. Ensure faucet connector fittings are properly secured.
- Install Cartridge: Lift the handle on the shut-off valve on the filter head. Push the filter cartridge upwards into the filter head, then turn it one-quarter turn to the right until it locks into place.
- Restore Water Supply & Flush: Open the supply line valve and the angle stop valve. Check for leaks at all fittings. Open the valve on the filter head. Open the dedicated drinking water faucet and allow water to flow for at least 3 minutes to flush air and debris from the lines.

Tips for Optimal Use:
