Introduction

This system utilizes advanced 3-in-1 filtration technology to reduce various chemical and physical substances, including lead, from your drinking water. It is certified by WQA and NSF for its filtration capabilities. The system features an easy, tool-free installation and an on/off lever for switching between filtered and unfiltered water. A built-in filter change light indicates when a replacement filter is needed.

Setup and Installation
The PUR Plus Faucet-Mount Water Filtration System is designed for quick and easy installation without the need for tools. It is compatible with most standard faucets but is not intended for use with pull-out or handheld models.
- Prepare your faucet: Remove the existing aerator from your faucet. Ensure the faucet threads are clean and free from debris.
- Attach the adapter: Select the appropriate adapter from the included set that fits your faucet. Screw the adapter onto the faucet threads until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Attach the filter system: Align the PUR Plus Faucet-Mount Water Filtration System with the attached adapter. Push the system onto the adapter until it clicks securely into place.
- Flush the filter: Before first use, turn on the cold water and run it through the filtered setting for approximately 5 minutes to flush the new filter.

Operating Instructions
The PUR Plus Faucet-Mount Water Filtration System is designed for simple operation.
- Switching between filtered and unfiltered water: The system is equipped with an on/off lever. To dispense filtered water, move the lever to the filtered position. To dispense unfiltered water for washing dishes or other tasks, move the lever to the unfiltered position.
- Water flow: Filtered water will typically flow at a slower rate than unfiltered water, which is normal due to the filtration process.
- Temperature: Always use cold water when dispensing filtered water to ensure optimal filter performance and longevity.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PUR Plus Faucet-Mount Water Filtration System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from the system. | Loose connection, missing/damaged washer, incorrect adapter. | Ensure the adapter is tightly screwed onto the faucet and the filter system is securely clicked onto the adapter. Check that all washers are properly seated. If leaking persists, try a different adapter or contact support. |
| No filtered water or very slow flow. | Clogged filter, filter not seated correctly, low water pressure. | Check the filter change indicator; if it's red or yellow/orange, replace the filter. Ensure the filter cartridge is properly inserted. Verify household water pressure. |
| Filtered water tastes or smells unusual. | New filter not flushed, expired filter, filter damage. | Flush new filters for 5 minutes before first use. Replace the filter if it's old or the indicator light is red. Ensure only cold water is used for filtration. |
| Filter change light not working. | Battery issue (if applicable), system malfunction. | Some models have non-replaceable batteries for the indicator. If the light fails prematurely, contact customer support. |
