We have made it easy for you to install the Anchor Countertop Water

Installing your filter

This is the

diverter valve

Steps for installation:

1. Remove existing aerator from the faucet

Aerator

2. Based on your faucet threads described above, connect

the divertor on the faucet as shown in the image below:

Faucet with outside thread

- the diverter valve should

screw right on

After setting up the faucet, do

the following:

1. Place the filter unit in a

convenient location with

the spout positioned over

your sink. The spout is

designed to swivel.

2. Turn on your cold water and

divert the water through the

filter by pulling out/turning

the knob on the diverter

valve. Water pressure

should hold it in the out

position.

3. Allow it to run for several

minutes to flush out the

normal carbon fines

(blackish specs). Initially, the

water may contain tiny air

bubbles and taste slightly

sweet - this is normal and

harmless, and will clear up

after flushing.

4. To stop the flow, turn off the

cold water at your faucet -

the diverter valve knob will

return automatically for

normal unfiltered water

flow through your kitchen

faucet.

Faucet with inside thread

- enclosed adapter ring and

gasket must be used

Countertop with filter installed

If your faucet has non-standard

threads, you may need to

purchase a special adapter from

your local hardware store.

1. Turn off water.

2. Unscrew housing from its base.

Note: If the housing seems stuck, soak the base of the housing

for 10 minutes in a mixture of HOT water and a little vinegar.

3. Place Housing upside down on cabinet and remove used cartridge.

3. Check the O ring for wear and tear. (The O ring rests in a groove 1

“down in the housing).

a. If it is worn replace it.

b. If O ring is in good working order,

Note: lubricate it with petroleum jelly to ensure it lies flat

and prevents leaking.

Replacing Your Cartridge

6. Leave the housing on the counter, pick up the base, and screw it

back on tight enough to prevent any leakage. Doing it this way will

prevent the O- ring from slipping loose and causing the filter to

leak. Turn the housing/canister right side up.

Note: Before putting the housing back on, put some petroleum

jelly on the plastic threads this will make it easier to unscrew the

housing the next time you change your filter cartridge.

5. Unwrap filter cartridge

from the plastic wrap. With

your housing’s open end

facing up, place the new

filter into the housing
