What's Included
Your PUR Faucet Mount Water Filtration System package includes the following components:
- One (1) PUR Faucet Mount Filtration System unit
- One (1) PUR filter pre-installed or for initial setup
- Three (3) additional generic replacement filters
Setup and Installation
The PUR Faucet Mount Water Filtration System is designed for easy installation without the need for special tools. Please follow these steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging.
- Prepare Faucet: Ensure your faucet is clean and free from debris. This system is compatible with most standard faucets, but not with pull-out or hand-held faucet types.
- Attach Filter System: Align the faucet mount system with your faucet's aerator. Twist or secure the system onto the faucet according to the specific adapter type provided (if any). Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
- Flush Filter: Once installed, turn on the cold water and allow it to run through the filter for approximately 5 minutes. This flushes out carbon dust and prepares the filter for use.
- Check for Leaks: After flushing, inspect all connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten if necessary.
For detailed visual instructions, refer to the diagrams in the quick start guide included with your product.
Operating Instructions
Using your PUR Faucet Mount Water Filtration System is straightforward:
- Filtered Water: To dispense filtered water, activate the filter lever or button on the unit. Water will flow through the filter, providing clean drinking water.
- Unfiltered Water: To dispense unfiltered water for washing dishes or other non-drinking purposes, switch the lever or button to the unfiltered setting. This extends the life of your filter.
- Water Temperature: Always use cold water when operating the filter. Hot water can damage the filter media and reduce its effectiveness.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your filtration system. The primary maintenance task is filter replacement.
Filter Replacement
Filters should be replaced approximately every 2-3 months, or after filtering 100 gallons of water, whichever comes first. The system may have an indicator light that changes color to signal when a filter change is needed.
- Turn Off Water: Ensure the water supply to the faucet is turned off.
- Remove Old Filter: Locate the filter housing on the unit. Twist or unclip the housing to remove the used filter cartridge.
- Insert New Filter: Insert a new PUR replacement filter into the housing. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Secure Housing: Reattach and secure the filter housing.
- Flush New Filter: Turn on the cold water and flush the new filter for 5 minutes to remove any carbon dust.
- Reset Indicator (if applicable): If your unit has a filter life indicator, follow the manufacturer's instructions to reset it.
Always use genuine PUR replacement filters or compatible generic filters to ensure proper filtration and system function.
