Odor & odd color on cartridge
H2S (hydrogen sulfide) caused by iron
(orange/brow nish), manganese (blackish), and/or
decaying organisms (slimy/blotchy colors) can
cause rotten egg-type odor.

For a countertop installation, turn on the w ater and
engage the diverter valve w hile reducing the w ater
flow slightly. For a below the sink installation, adjust
the w ater pressure at the feedw ater adapter below
the sink. Turn on the ledge faucet or diverter valve
and let w ater run for 3 to 5 minutes after installation or
filter change.

Flow rate is slow

It is recommended that filters be replaced at least
every tw elve months or w hen its capacity is reached,

adjust w ater pressure to 60 psi. If other faucets or
sprinklers are on turn off other running w ater.

Water dripping from faucet assembly
Adjustment of w ater flow is needed.
Below sink units - remove the faucet handle by first
removing the spout (pull straight up) and then slide the
handle off the faucet base. Then turn the small t-bar
about one half turn to tighten the faucet assembly.
