OmniFilter CBF3 B Series is a high-performing water filtration system designed to provide clean and safe drinking water for your home. With a flow rate of 5 GPM (1.9 LPM) and a capacity of 550 gallons (2,082 liters), this system efficiently removes impurities, contaminants, and harmful substances from your tap water, ensuring you and your family have access to pure and healthy water. The system utilizes a replaceable CB3 cartridge that effectively reduces sediment, chlorine taste and odor, and other contaminants, providing you with great-tasting, filtered water right from your kitchen faucet.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The system and installation must comply with all state and local laws

and regulations.

“Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the

system.” Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disin-

fected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

NOTICES

• Install this filter on a cold water line only. Do not use on water

lines exceeding 100° F (38°C). Water pressure minimum is 25 psi

(172 kPa) and the maximum is 125 psi (862 kPa).

•Protect the unit from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.

• Do not use pipe dope or similar compounds. They can ruin plas-

tic. Use Teflon

tape to seal pipe thread joints.

• Keep the unit clean with soap and water. Do not use spray clean-

ers or insecticides near the unit.

• Intended for indoor, non-commercial use only.

• For extended periods of non-use turn the water off and remove

the filter cartridge. Place the cartridge in a plastic bag, seal, and

refrigerate.

• Safety glasses must be worn during installation.

•Tubing and hose dimensions are based on outside diameters

(OD). For water line sizes other than those listed, consult a

plumber or hardware store.

• Before using the water, flush the new filter for 30 minutes.

• Run drinking or cooking water for 10 seconds prior to collecting

the water for use.

• Change the filter cartridge if changes in taste, color or flow of

water occur.

• This filter is not a water purifier and is not intended for use with

contaminated water.

• Comply with all state and local laws regarding the installation of

water treatment devices.

• Use only OMNI filter cartridges with this housing, or warranty is

void.

When to change the filter cartridge

Cartridge should be changed every 4 months or after 550 gallons

(2,082 liters) of water used, which ever occurs first.

Choose a Location; See Figure 1.

1. Position the filter housing bracket on the wall of the cabinet

nearest the cold water line beneath the sink. Leave a 3” mini-

mum clearance between the bottom of the filter housing and

the floor of the cabinet. Mark the bracket slots on the wall.

2. Drill a 1/8” hole at each of the two marks, install the drywall

screw anchors (available locally) and insert the mounting screws.

Leave each screw head 1/4” out from the wall.

E.I. DuPont de Nemours, and Company, Corporation, Wilmington, Delaware.

Install the Omni faucet; See Figure 2.

3. A. For stainless steel sinks you can drill a 7/8” diameter hole in a

convenient location or use the existing sprayer hole. Mark the

hole location with a punch before drilling.

B. For porcelain sinks, place a piece of masking tape over the

faucet location, then mark the position with a punch before

drilling. NOTE: A special drill is required for porcelain sinks.

4. Remove the hardware from the faucet stem. Slide the large rub-

ber washer onto the threaded stem and insert the faucet stem

and rubber washer assembly into the sink hole.

5. Slide the large metal washer and the thumb nut on to the faucet

stem. Hand tighten the thumb nut against the underside of the

sink to secure the faucet in place.

Connect one end of one of the pieces of the white plastic tub-

ing to the end of the faucet stem; See Figure 3.

6. Firmly push the poly tubing all the way into the faucet stem until

firmly seated.

NOTE: The faucet stem has a quick connecting fitting (See Figure

3). If you need to remove the water line (poly tubing) from the

quick connecting fitting, simply push in the collet ring while gen-

tly pulling the poly tubing out of the fitting. See Figure 4.

Install the saddle valve; See Figure 5.

7. Locate and turn off the cold water shut off valve.

8. Install the saddle valve on the cold water line as shown in

Figure 5.

NOTE: The saddle valve clamps onto soft or hard tubing or pipe

from 3/8” to 1-5/16” diameter. It will make its own hole in cop-

per tubing, but not in iron or brass. For brass or galvanized iron

pipe, drill a 5/32” hole in the pipe before mounting the saddle

valve.

Risk of electric shock. If possible, use a hand or

cordless drill when drilling water pipe. If using an electric drill, be

sure that drill, cord and outlet are all properly grounded.

Be sure the water supply to cold the water line is turned off.

NOTE: Do not turn the handle before installing or while installing

the saddle valve. To prevent damage to the piercing needle, make

sure that piercing needle does not project beyond the rubber gasket.

a. Clamp the saddle valve on to the copper tube with the screws

supplied.

b. Tighten the screws evenly and firmly, keeping the halves of

the bracket parallel.

c. When the clamp is tight, turn the valve handle clockwise to

pierce the supply line.

NOTE: Leave the handle in this position (valve closed) until filter

installation is complete.

9. The filter cartridge comes preassembled in the filter housing. See

Figure 6 for the filter cartridge components.

10. Install the two threaded compression fittings in the Filter

Housing. See Figure 7.

11. Screw the fittings into the “IN” and “OUT” ports of the filter

housing. Use a wrench and tighten the two fittings into the filter

housing head. NOTE: The “IN” and “OUT” ports are marked on

the top of the filter housing.

a. Slide the brass compression nut over the end of the poly

tubing.

b. Slide the white plastic compression sleeve over the poly tub-

ing and into the compression nut.

c. Slide the brass insert into the poly tubing.

d. Screw the tubing assembly onto each of the ports as illustrat-

ed in Figure 9.

14. Connect the other piece of poly tubing from the faucet stem to

the “OUT” port of the filter housing.

15. Open the filter faucet and then slowly open the cold water shut

off valve.
