5. Operating Your Filter
Once installed, the filter operates automatically with your cold water supply. Ensure the filter is connected to the cold water valve only. This filter is designed to improve the taste and odor of your water by reducing chlorine and other contaminants, but it does not reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
