B. Turn on
cold
water. After the water has turned clear, adjust the

Overtightening may cause the washer to compress into the inside of the shower
pipe, resulting in leakage around the connector. If this occurs, unscrew the
chrome inlet collar from pipe, reinstall the washer and reconnect the shower pipe.
The initial surge of water will be discolored
with carbon fines and may soil your shower
stall. This carbonized water is beneficial
to plants and the environment. It can be
discarded in a plant bed or down the drain.
Do NOT use a shower head or
wand with a shut-off valve.
5. Shower head attachment
Attach the shower head to the shower filter body.
