Everyone would like to have clean, clear drinking water. Water that is free of the impurities collected along the path from water catchment to kitchen faucet tastes better. Installing water filters is not as difficult an undertaking as you may think.
Different filter cartridges are available to filter different levels and types of contaminants in your water. You should choose the cartridge that is right for your area. The hardest part of the job is taking the time to read all the instructions first so this choice is correctly made.
Find a place under your sink where you will be able to easily reach the unit. Filter cartridges need to be replaced regularly so you want this to be easy. But, take care that the placement doesn’t block access to the plumbing. There will be times when you want easy access to the pipes as well. Put the apparatus where you want it to go and mark where the screws will be with a pencil.
You won’t need a complete tool kit to undertake this task but you will need an adjustable wrench or one that is the right size to undo and tighten your plumbing fittings. You’ll also need a drill to make screw holes and a screwdriver to insert and tighten the screws that hold the mounts for the filtration unit.
Use your drill to drill holes at the marked spots. Hold the unit against the wall and using the screwdriver secure it in place. To do this, screw all the screws in lightly, and then gradually tighten each one by moving clockwise around the unit. When you are done check there is no movement in the unit.
Turn your water off using the cut off lever under the sink or, if you don’t have one of those, at the meter. If you forget to turn it off you will create a flood in your kitchen when you undo the fittings. When the water is turned off, turn the faucet on to allow any water left to drain out.
When the water is turned off and the lines drained disconnect the flexible hose that connects to the PVC pipe under your sink. There may be some water still left in the line so place a hand towel underneath to soak up any spills. Attach the hose to the filtration unit and then attach the flexible hose that comes with it to the PVC pipe.
Turn the water back on and check for leaks. If there are leaks turn the water off again and tighten the fittings. Turn the faucet on and let it flow until you can’t see any signs of sediment and the water flowing is completely clear. This should only take a few moments. If the water does not flow from the faucet check the lines to make sure you have connected them properly.
Your family will love the clean, fresh water that flows from your kitchen tap. To keep it this way be sure to change the filter cartridges according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Installing water filters is a quick and easy task that anyone can do.
