|
 |
To install your Aquasana shower filter, first remove your existing shower head from the shower supply pipe. You may need pliers to remove the shower head.
|
|
|
 |
Then, attach the assembled filter system to the supply pipe. 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 position.

Once the filter unit is installed in the proper position it is time to flush and activate the filter cartridge. Use cold water for the initial flushing. Please note that the initial surge of water will be discolored due to carbon fines. This carbonized water is very beneficial to plants and the environment and can be discarded in a plant bed. Therefore, it is recommended that you capture the first 1-2 gallons of water in a bucket to be used for this purpose.

|
|
 |
After the water has turned clear, adjust the temperature up to a normal shower temperature. Turn off the water and then back on several times until the initial surge of water is free of discoloration.
|
|
|
 |
When the water is clear, turn off the water supply and attach the shower head to the filter body.
|
|
|
 |
Once the installation is complete, enjoy the benefits of showering in healthy, filtered water!
