Setup and Installation
The PUR PLUS Faucet Mount Water Filtration System is designed for quick and tool-free installation. It is compatible with most standard faucets that have visible, external aerators. Please ensure your faucet type is compatible before proceeding.
- Prepare Your Faucet: Unscrew and remove the existing aerator from your faucet. Ensure the faucet threads are clean and free of debris.
- Select the Correct Adapter: The system comes with various adapters to fit different faucet thread types. Identify the adapter that securely fits your faucet's threads.
- Attach the System: Thread the selected adapter onto your faucet. Then, align the PUR PLUS Faucet Mount Water Filtration System with the adapter and twist it securely into place. No tools are typically required for this step.
- Flush the Filter: Once installed, turn on the cold water and allow it to run through the filter for 5 minutes to flush out any carbon dust and prepare the filter for use.

Operating Instructions
The PUR PLUS Faucet Mount Water Filtration System offers convenient access to both filtered and unfiltered water.
- On/Off Lever: The system is equipped with an on/off lever located on the side. Push the lever to switch between filtered water (lever in one position) and unfiltered water (lever in the other position). This allows you to conserve filter life when filtered water is not needed, such as for washing dishes.
- Filter Change Light: A built-in indicator light on the front of the unit will notify you when it's time to change your filter. The light typically changes color (e.g., green to orange to red) to indicate the remaining filter life. Replace the filter promptly when the light turns red to ensure continued optimal filtration performance.
