4.1. Installation Steps

Prepare the Area: Clear the space under your sink where the filter will be installed. Ensure you have access to the cold water supply line.
Turn Off Water Supply: Locate the cold water supply valve under your sink and turn it off completely. Open your kitchen faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure.
Mount the Filter Head: Use the provided mounting template to mark the drilling points for the filter head. Secure the filter head to the cabinet wall using the included screws.
Connect Inlet Hose: Connect the system's inlet hose to the cold water supply valve. If your inlet valve is 3/8 inch compression, you can connect directly. If it's a 1/2 inch FIP inlet valve, use the provided 1/2 inch FIP to 3/8 inch compression adapter. Ensure the O-ring is correctly positioned for a secure seal.
Connect Outlet Hose: Connect the system's outlet hose to your faucet's inlet hose. Ensure the O-ring is correctly positioned for a secure seal.
Insert Filter Cartridge: Align the filter cartridge with the positioning holes on the filter head. Push the filter in and turn clockwise to lock it into place. You should hear a click sound to confirm proper installation.
Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the cold water supply valve. Check all connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water supply, re-tighten connections, and re-check.
Flush the System: Open your kitchen faucet and let the water run for at least 5 minutes (or until 2 gallons have passed through) to flush the new filter and remove any carbon fines.

5.1. About TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

This Under Sink Filtration System is not designed to reduce TDS. It filters out harmful contaminants while retaining essential beneficial minerals in the water. Therefore, TDS readings will remain largely unchanged.
