Setup and Installation

Installing your PUR Plus Faucet Mount Water Filter Replacement is a straightforward process, designed for ease of use.

1. Twist the back cover off your PUR faucet water filtration system.
2. Insert the new filter into the device.
3. Replace the back cover, ensuring it is securely fastened.

After installation, it is recommended to run hot water through the filter for approximately 10-15 minutes. This initial flush helps to prepare the filter for use by removing any air bubbles or loose carbon particles.

Operation

The PUR faucet mount system provides the flexibility to switch between filtered and unfiltered water, depending on your needs.

• To access filtered water, activate the filter lever on the faucet mount. A green indicator light will illuminate, confirming that the filter is active and functioning correctly.
• For unfiltered tap water, simply use the faucet without engaging the filter lever. This allows for regular tap water flow for tasks that do not require filtration.

Maintenance and Filter Replacement

For optimal performance and continuous access to clean water, it is essential to replace your PUR Plus Faucet Mount Water Filter (RF-9999) regularly.

• Replace the filter every 3 months or after 100 gallons of use, whichever occurs first.
• The faucet mount system includes an indicator light that changes color (green to orange to red) to signal when a replacement is needed. A red light specifically indicates that it is time to change the filter.

Troubleshooting

Water Quality Issues

• If you notice white particles or a cloudy appearance in the filtered water, especially after initial installation, this is often due to air bubbles or loose carbon particles. Run water through the filter for 10-15 minutes to flush out these particles.
• If the water continues to appear cloudy or has an unusual taste after flushing, ensure the filter is correctly seated and the system is properly assembled.
• If the filter is not effectively reducing odors or improving taste, it may be expired or clogged. Replace the filter as per the maintenance schedule.

Slow Water Flow

• A significant reduction in water flow from the filtered output often indicates a clogged filter. This is a sign that the filter has absorbed many contaminants and needs to be replaced.

Leaks

• Ensure all connections are tight and O-rings are properly seated during installation. If leaks persist, check for damaged O-rings or improper filter seating.
