unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems
certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.

the filter and water leakage.

• Filter cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage, and water conditions.
• For cold water use only.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state and local laws and
regulations.
• The replacement filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service life.
Changes in taste, odor, or flow of the water being filtered indicate that the

• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by these systems
are not necessarily in your water. Ask your local water municipality for a copy
of their water analysis, or have your private well tested by a reputable water
testing lab.
• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation) it is
recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let water run for 5–6
minutes before using.

Installation
• Please read all instructions and precautions before installing and using your
Culligan Countertop Water Filter.
• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.
1. Remove aerator from faucet on which filter will be installed (Fig. 1).
2. Determine the type of threads on your faucet:
External threads: No adapters should be needed. Proceed to Step 3.
Internal threads: Through trial and error, select the proper adapter and
washer (Fig. 2) and screw into faucet. Tighten manually.
NOTE: Adapters are included which will fit most faucets. To create a tight seal, you
may need to use the gasket from your faucet's aerator in addition to the washers
included with the adapters. If the adapters do not fit, consult your local plumbing
or hardware supplier for assistance in obtaining the correct thread adapter.
3. Screw the diverter valve onto the faucet, turning swivel collar to tighten (Fig.
3). Make certain that gasket (already installed in diverter valve) is positioned
securely between the diverter valve and the faucet (or adapter). Rotate diverter
valve stem to desired position. Swivel collar may need to be retightened. Place
assembly conveniently next to sink.
