| AQ-4000 Installation Instructions |
 |
|
|
 |
To install your Aquasana drinking water
filter, first unscrew existing aerator from your faucet and remove the old rubber washer if it is still attached to the faucet.
|
|
|
 |
Next, take the supplied faucet diverter valve and make sure the rubber washer is in place inside the chrome swivel collar. Then, attach the valve onto the faucet.
|
|
|
 |
Then, remove the “A” & “B” threaded caps by turning in the direction of the arrows. Check to make sure the o-rings and cartridges are installed properly.
|
|
|
 |
After checking the o-rings and cartridges, you should then install the inlet hose to the inlet connector on cap “A” by pushing
the plastic hose end elbow firmly into the inlet hole.
To determine which hose is the inlet hose, hold the hose ends so they are pointing into the sink, turn on the water supply and pull the activator button. The hose end that water comes out of is the inlet hose and should connect to the inlet fitting on cap “A”.
After connecting the inlet hose, connect the outlet hose to cap “B” in the same fashion.

|
 |
Next, stand the filter unit on the countertop to begin the activation process. To flush and activate the filter, turn the cold water supply on and pull the round activator button on
the diverter valve so that water is diverted to the filter. Please note that the initial flow of water will be slightly discolored and cloudy due to carbon fines and air bubbles. Allow the water to flow through the filter in this position until the water runs clear. This will usually take 2-3 min.

 |
When the installation is complete, drink and enjoy pure, filtered water.
