Remove the plastic
shipping plugs
from the inlet and outlet of the
filter system and make sure the
white rubber washer is in place in
the chrome swivel inlet connector.
3
Remove your exist-
ing shower head
from the shower supply pipe.
4
Attach the assem-
bled filter system
to the supply pipe as shown in
figure 1.
While holding the shower filter in
a stationary position, thread the
chrome swivel collar onto the
shower pipe by turning clockwise.
Tighten the connector finger tight
and then, using a pair of pliers,
turn an additional 1/4 turn or until
the filter system retains a firm po-
sition. Over tightening may
cause the washer to compress
into the inside of the shower
pipe, resulting in leakage
around connector. If this oc-
curs, remove swivel collar from
pipe, reinstall the washer and
reconnect to the shower pipe.

Flush and activate
the filter
Once the filter unit is installed in
the proper position it is time to
flush and activate the filter car-
tridge.
6
Use cold water
for the initial flushing, see "Note"
below for flushing precaution.
After the water has turned clear,
adjust the temperature up to a
normal shower temp. Notice that
there is a slight delay in tempera-
ture adjustment due to the vol-
ume of water in the filter; take this
delay into account when making
temperature adjustments. Make
slight adjustments and wait 30
seconds for temperature
change. Run water until clear
and then turn off and then back
on several times. Repeat this pro-
cedure until the initial surge of
water is free of discoloration.
Note
The initial surge of water will be discolored due
to carbon fines and may soil your shower stall. It
is recommended that you capture the first 1-2
gallons of water in a bucket. This carbonized
water is very beneficial to plants and the envi-
ronment and can be discarded in a plant bed or
down the drain.

Attach the shower
head
to the filter body as shown
in figure 2.

ing in healthy, chlorine free wa-
ter!
