How To Install PUR Vertical Faucet Filter (figs 1A-4C)
1. REMOVE FAUCET AERATOR (fig 1A or 1B)
2. DETERMINE THE NEED FOR AN ADAPTER
INTERNAL THREADED FAUCETS: Use one
of the adapters shown in fig. 2.
EXTERNAL THREADED FAUCETS: Proceed
to Step 3.
3. ATTACH THE FILTER TO YOUR FAUCET
Position the unit so that the body
is on the left side of the faucet and the filter monitor window is facing toward
you (fig. 3A).
Attach the threaded mounting nut to
the faucet and turn until tight (fig. 3B).
To ensure a snug fit, grasp the
mounting nut and the body and turn them together counterclockwise.
Then, holding the nut still, turn the body clockwise until the unit is aligned
to the left of your faucet (fig.3C). Repeat this procedure until the unit is
firmly attached to the faucet.
NOTE: Remove filter unit before attaching a portable dishwasher or any
appliance.
4. INSTALL THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
Open the filter cartridge package
and remove the filter cartridge.
Unscrew the bottom cover (fig. 4A)
of the faucet mount housing.
Point the arrow on the top of the
cartridge and the PUR logo on the filter housing toward you.
Insert the cartridge into the
housing. Push the cartridge upward until it is snug (See fig. 4B).
Reattach the bottom cover (See fig.
4C).
NOTE: Installing filter cartridge automatically resets the Filter
Monitor.
FLUSH THE FILTER BEFORE DRINKING WATER
Turn the unit to the upright (filter on) position (See fig. 5A)
Run the water 5 minutes to flush the filter cartridge. Then before each use, run
water for 5 seconds to reactivate the filter media.
NOTE: Your new filter cartridge may release fine black carbon particles
when first used. It is not harmful and will be removed during flushing.
REPLACING AN OLD CARTRIDGE
Move the filter housing into the upright (on) position. Unscrew the bottom
cover. RUN WATER
SLOWLY TO ASSIST IN DISCONNECTING THE OLD FILER CARTRIDGE FROM THE FILTER UNIT.
THE
WATER PRESSURE WILL MAKE REMOVAL EASIER. For installing the replacement
cartridge, reference step 4.
How To Use (figs 5A, 5B)
FILTER ON (fig 5A). Do not run hot
water in the on position.
FILTER OFF (fig 5B). It is OK to
run hot water in the off position
How To Monitor Filter Life (figs 6A-6C)
BEGINNING OF FILTER LIFE After installing a new filter
cartridge, the monitor window will appear black (fig. 6A), indicating up to 2-3
months/100 gallons of filter life.
DURING USE As you use the filter, a white bar
will appear and begin to move from the left side of the window (fig.6B).
END OF FILTER LIFE After the white bar has moved
completely across the window, a red bar will appear. This indicates that the
filter is nearing the end of its life (fig. 6C). The filter unit will shut off
when it reaches the end-of-life for the
filter. The red bar does not travel completely across the window.
NOTE: You cannot clean a filter cartridge. Do not remove a cartridge
unless you intend to replace it. Removing a filter resets the monitor. The
condition of your water may cause the filter cartridge to fill before the Filter
Monitor indicates it is full. If this occurs, replace the cartridge.
Troubleshooting
Adaptors dont fit.
If the enclosed adaptors do not fit, contact PUR Consumer Relations.
Water leaks out around the filter unit pivot joint.
Contact PUR Consumer Relations.
Water leaks out around the bottom cover of the filter unit.
Be sure the black O-ring is on and firmly seated in the O-ring
cavity and the bottom cover is tight.
Drop in water flow in filtered position.
Replace the filter cartridge. Remember, the condition of your water
may cause the filter cartridge to fill before the Filter Monitor
indicates the cartridge is full. This is normal and indicates that the
filter is working.
Water leaks out around the faucet adaptor and faucet.
Check to see that the washer was placed on top of the faucet adaptor
when installed. Check to see that the washer with screen is in place.
Make sure the mounting nut is tightened onto the faucet.
Cannot remove the filter cartridge for replacement.
Move filter body into the upright (filter on) position. Turn the
water on to assist in disconnecting the filter cartridge.
