PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe

or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after

the system.

CAUTION

Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause

cracking of the ﬁlter and water leakage.

CAUTION

The rubber O-ring provides the water-tight seal between

the cap and the bottom of the housing. It is important that the

O-ring be properly seated in the groove below the threads of the

housing or a water leak could occur.

CAUTION

Because of the product’s limited service life and to

prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly

recommend that the bottom of all opaque plastic housings be

replaced every ten years. If the bottom of your housing has been in

use for longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately.

Date the bottom of any new or replacement housing to indicate the

next recommended replacement date.

OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS

Pressure Range: 25–125 psi

Temperature Range: 40°F–100°F

NOTES:

• For cold water use only.

• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this

water treatment device are not necessarily in your water. Ask your

local water municipality for a copy of their water analysis, or have

your water tested by a reputable water

testing lab.

• Do not install where system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

• Filter cartridge life varies depending on ﬁlter type, usage, and

water conditions.

• The replacement ﬁlter cartridge used with this system has a limited

service life. Changes in taste, odor, or ﬂow of the water being

ﬁltered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

• Use only Pentair® Omniﬁlter® replacement cartridges.

• This installation must comply with all applicable state and

local regulations.

• Use only plumber’s tape without adhesive backing to seal joints.

Do not use pipe compound (“pipe dope”), sticks, or similar

compounds with this unit; they contain petroleum derivatives

which will cause crazing and cracking of the plastic in the

ﬁlter housing.

• Use only soap and water to clean ﬁlter housing

and components.

• Do not use aerosol sprays (bug spray, cleaning ﬂuids, etc.) near the

ﬁlter. They contain organic solvents which will cause crazing and

cracking of the plastic in the ﬁlter housing.

• After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it is

recommended that the system be ﬂushed thoroughly. Let water

run for 5-6 minutes before using.

• Do not use a torch near the unit.

• Some harmless bacteria may attack cellulose media cartridges.

If your cartridge seems to disintegrate or develops a musty or

moldy odor, switch to a synthetic media cartridge or consult the

manufacturer.

• Wear safety glasses during installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

• For standard undersink installation on 3/8-inch cold water line

(copper or PVC pipe).

• Please read all instructions, speciﬁcations, and precautions before

installing and using your ﬁlter system.

• Install ﬁlter cartridge in ﬁlter housing according to the ﬁlter

cartridge replacement instructions (below) before proceeding

with installation.

• There must be a shut-off valve ahead of the ﬁlter.

• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.

Installation

1. If ﬁlter is unassembled: Make sure O-ring is clean. Remove

silicone lubricant from parts bag. (A) Lubricate O-ring

with silicone lubricant and press into O-ring groove at

bottom of housing threads. Insert the cartridge into

housing and screw on cap with built-in mounting bracket.

Hand-tighten only, do not use wrench.

O-ring

2. (A) Turn off cold water supply and open nearest cold

water faucet to release pressure in pipes before starting

installation. Place a tray or towels under the cold water

line to catch excess water. (B) Select location under sink

where ﬁlter is to be mounted. Use mounting bracket as a

template to mark screw locations. Mount ﬁlter in marked

location using mounting bracket.

NOTE: (C) Allow 11⁄2 inches clearance below housing to

enable ﬁlter cartridge changes.

11⁄2"

3. (A) Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, remove a 3-inch

section of pipe from the 3/8-inch cold water line. Deburr

ends of remaining pipe with a ﬁle. (B) Push a quick-

connect elbow onto each end of remaining cold water

line. Be sure to push elbow onto pipe until you hit a hard

stop.

4. Determine the lengths of tubing needed to connect

the inlet and outlet sides of ﬁlter to the quick-connect

ﬁttings on the cold water line. Measure the tubing to the

appropriate length to prevent kinking. Cut the tubing

squarely. Assemble as shown in Figure 4, inserting tubing

into appropriate inlet or outlet quick-connect ﬁtting until

it stops (ﬂow arrow is

on cap).

NOTE: The tubing should be pushed into the ﬁtting

approximately 5/8-inch.

5. (A) Slowly turn on the water supply to allow ﬁlter to ﬁll

with water, (B) and then press the red pressure-relief

button on top of ﬁlter to release trapped air. Check for

leaks before leaving installation.

NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon

ﬁnes (very ﬁne black powder). After installation, ﬂush the

cartridge for 30 minutes to remove the ﬁnes before using

the water. It is recommended that you run the tap at least

20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking

purposes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

6. NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect

Fittings. Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement

will not require that you disconnect the tubing from

the ﬁlter cap; however, tubing may be quickly and

easily removed from the ﬁttings if necessary. First, turn

off the water supply to the ﬁlter and open faucet to

release pressure. (A) Then, simply depress the gray collar

around the inlet ﬁtting of the housing (B) while pulling

the tubing with your other hand. Repeat for the outlet

ﬁtting.

WHEN TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE

The life of the cartridge depends on the water volume used and

the substances in the water. Normally the cartridge should be

changed at intervals of 12 months or less. Replace the cartridge

sooner if the water pressure at the faucet begins to drop noticeably

or if you notice changes in the taste, color, or ﬂow of the ﬁltered

water.

NOTE: Certain types of harmless bacteria will attack cellulose

material. Cartridges containing cellulose may seem to disintegrate,

produce a “sewer” or “rotten egg” odor, or form a black

precipitate due to bacteria. If this happens, consult Pentair

Customer Service for advice or select a different cartridge.

FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

A) (1) Turn off water supply to ﬁlter and place a tray or towel

under the system to catch any water that spills during removal

of the ﬁlter cartridge. (2) Depress red pressure-relief button, or

open cold water faucet, then (3) unscrew and remove bottom

of ﬁlter housing (See Figure A).

NOTE: If turning off water supply to ﬁlter will also turn off

water supply to the rest of the home, be sure to ﬁll a bucket of

water ﬁrst to allow you to clean housing after it has

been removed.

B) (1) Locate and remove large O-ring. Wipe it clean of lubricant,

and set aside. (2) Discard used ﬁlter cartridge. Rinse out bottom

of ﬁlter housing and ﬁll 1/3 full with water. Add 1 tablespoon

of bleach and scrub bottom of housing with nonabrasive

sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Lubricate O-ring with clean

silicone grease. Insert O-ring in groove and press into place.

NOTE: This step is important to ensure a proper housing seal.

Make certain the O-ring is seated level in the groove.

Insert new ﬁlter cartridge in bottom of housing. Single

gasket cartridges should be inserted in the housing with the

gasket end facing the threads of the housing. Cartridges with

tapered ends need to be installed with the open tapered end

toward the threads of the housing. (See Figure B for correct

installation).

C) (1) Screw bottom of housing onto the cap and hand-

tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. (2) Slowly turn on

the water supply to allow ﬁlter to ﬁll with water, then

(3) press the red pressure-relief button on top of ﬁlter

to release trapped air. Check for leaks before leaving

installation.

NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon

ﬁnes (very ﬁne black powder). After installation, ﬂush the

cartridge for 5 minutes to remove the ﬁnes before using

the water. It is recommended that you run the tap at least

20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking

purposes.
