INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICES

• Install this filter system on cold water lines 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 pipe. 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.

• The 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 Omnifilter replacement cartridges with this housing, or

the warranty is void.

When to change the filter cartridge

The cartridge should be changed as indicated in the “Performance

Data” section above or sooner if the water pressure at the faucet

begins to drop noticeably or if the cartridge fails to perform

satisfactorily.

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, and insert the mount-

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

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 plastic 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 (plastic tubing) from the

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

tly pulling the plastic 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. Open the kitchen faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure.

9. 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 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 into the water pipe. If using an electric

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

Be sure the water supply to the cold 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 the filter

installation is complete.

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

Figure 6 for the filter cartridge components.

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.

13. Install the filter assembly onto the mounting screws installed in

step 2 and tighten the mounting screws. See Figure 8.

Finish Connecting the Tubing; See Figure 9.

14. Connect one piece of the plastic tubing from the “IN” port of the

filter housing to the saddle valve inlet port. To connect the tubing:

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

tubing.

b. Slide the white plastic compression sleeve over the plastic

tubing and into the compression nut.

c. Slide the brass insert into the plastic tubing.

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

ed in Figure 9.

15. Connect the other piece of plastic tubing from the faucet stem

to the “OUT” port of the filter housing.

Turn on the Water

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

off valve.

17. To remove the air from the filter run the water for 30 minutes or

until the water runs clear.

NOTE: Some trapped air may exist for the first few days of

operation.

18. Check for leaks at all the fittings.
