Filter Replacement:

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by

this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

Filter life varies depending on local water conditions and the vol-

ume of water used. We recommend that you change your filter

every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a

drop in pressure at the faucet.

To reduce Chlorine Taste and Odor,

use Replacement Filter: WHCF-GAC

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quali-

ty without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water

that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001

Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions:

NOTE: Before changing cartridge, turn off incoming water

supply. Place a bucket under filter to catch the small amount

of water that will run out after housing removal.

1. Shut off water.

2. Relieve pressure in housing by pushing red vent button.

3. Unscrew housing and remove old cartridge. Wash housing

thoroughly with mild soap and water.

4. Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge is

seated in the housing before tightening onto head.

5. Use filter wrench to fully seat the cartridge. Tighten to make a

water tight seal.

6. Turn on water. If any leaks appear, tighten housing as needed.

7. Flush system for five (5) minutes.

Troubleshooting Guide

Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings:

Tighten slightly more until leak stops.

Water leaks at Push-in Connections

Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off

water at the original valve and remove water line by pushing in on

the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. (See Push-in

Fittings Section) Inspect tubing for cracks and scratches. If tubing

is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert

tubing into fitting.

Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut.

6. Wrap Teflon

tape (2 1/2

wraps) around the 3/8” fit-

ting in a clockwise direction

and fasten to filter head

(see Figure 5). Do not use

pipe sealant (dope), as sol-

vents in some types of pipe

dope may cause damage to

plastic fittings.

7. Insert water supply line to

port marked "IN" (see

Figure 6, A) and insert

faucet line to port marked

"OUT" (see Figure 6, B).

Referring to section “Using

Push-in Fittings,” insert

making sure end of tubing

is firmly seated to backstop.

8. Fasten bracket to filter head with

four Phillips head screws provided.

(See Figure 7.) Fasten bracket to wall

with four Phillips head screws provid-

ed. If pre-drilling holes, bracket may

be used as a template for making

screw hole locations.

Installation Instructions

For Use With Cold Water Only

NOTE: Remove items from under the sink. Place a catch basin

there to collect small amounts of water that may run out when dis-

connecting water supply lines.

1. Turn off cold water supply valve and remove existing fitting and/or

tubing from cold water side of faucet.

2. Loosely assemble sump to filter head and attach filter bracket.

Use this assembly to mark a location under the sink that is not in

the way but allows for easy access to change filter. Allow room to

operate housing wrench and a minimum of 2 1/2” clear space below

the unit to facilitate changing cartridge. Once this is done disassem-

ble components for installation.

3. Determine length of tubing required from filter

head/bracket to faucet and from water supply line

to filter head/bracket by holding tubing in place

ensuring it is of appropriate length. Do not kink

tubing as this will impede water flow. If necessary,

loop tubing around to avoid it being kinked.

Cut tubing straight with a utility knife or tube cut-

ter (for copper piping). (See Figure 1.)

4. Install faucet adapter fitting to faucet (see

Figure 2). Do not overtighten to prevent dam-

age to fitting. Referring to section “Using

Push-In Fittings”, insert a section of plastic

tubing into fitting, making sure end of tubing is

firmly seated to backstop.

5. Onto one end of the remaining sec-

tion of tubing, slide the compression

hex nut and ferrule onto the tubing and

put in the tube insert (see Figure 3).

Fasten this assembly onto 3/8” water

supply outlet. Do not overtighten (see

Figure 4). Overtightening will cause

tubing to separate from fitting.

Gather the required tools before starting installation. Read and fol-

low the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools and Parts Needed:

copper piping

Installation Requirements:

• Properly tighten all fittings to ensure a leak-free assembly.

can weaken plastic components.

• Some local codes may require the use of a licensed plumber or

clear space below the unit to facilitate changing of the filter.
