Installation Guide

Installation Steps:

  1. Gather Your Tools:

    • Thread tape (included).
    • A rag to clean the shower arm threads.
    • An adjustable wrench.
  2. Remove the Old Shower Head:

    • Use an adjustable wrench (and a cloth for protection) to carefully unscrew the old shower head.
  3. Clean the Shower Arm Threads:

    • Remove any old Teflon tape and debris using a microfiber cloth. Clean threads ensure a better seal.
  4. Apply New Thread Tape:

    • Wrap Teflon tape around the shower arm threads in a clockwise direction, about five times, for a secure seal.
  5. Prepare the Filter:

    • Open the filter housing and remove any protective stickers. This ensures the filter is authentic and free from debris.
    • Place the KDF and Calcium Sulfite blend inside the housing, and ensure the washer is seated properly.
  6. Attach the Filter:

    • Hand-tighten the filter onto the shower arm, ensuring not to overtighten.
  7. Flush the Cartridge:

    • Before installing your shower head, run warm water through the filter for one minute. This flushes out any remaining particulates and prevents clogs.
  8. Install Your Shower Head:

    • Reattach your shower head, ensuring the washer is properly seated. Hand-tighten, then use an adjustable wrench for a final snug fit.
  9. Check for Leaks:

    • Turn on the water and check both connection points (where the filter meets the shower arm and where the shower head connects). Ensure there are no leaks and that the washers are properly seated.
