Video Transcript: Home Master Artesian Full Contact Reverse Osmosis System Installation Guide

Hi guys, I'm Will with Perfect Water Technologies. We're the folks that manufacture the Home Master product line. Today, we'll be conducting the installation of the Home Master Loaded Artesian Full Contact Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System. If you own a different Home Master RO system, don't worry. You can use this video as a guide, as all Home Master RO systems are similar in configuration. Before you get started, included in your installation kit is the Home Master RO System Installation and Service Manual. Please ensure you read this from front to back in order to achieve a successful installation. I'm really excited to guide you through this process, so let's have some fun and let's get started.

Included in the box with the Home Master Loaded Artesian Full Contact Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System is the fully assembled purification cluster, which includes the RO membrane and filters, refrigerator connection kit with a 1/4-inch inline ball valve, water storage tank, permeate pump mounting clip, luxury standard brushed nickel faucet with integrated 3/8-inch port, garbage disposal drain adapter, which is now included with all Home Master Loaded models, tank label, installation and service manual, and your five-piece bag.

Let's get into those components now. The five-piece bag includes all the components needed to conduct a successful installation of your new Home Master RO system. Here we have the cabinet mounting clip with screw, tank valve, Teflon tape, easy adapter or feed water valve, which connects next to the 3/8-inch compression line under your kitchen sink, and, of course, the drain saddle. Use it or the garbage disposal drain adapter to connect to the drain. For more details and information on what's inside the box, please visit our website.

Home Master Reverse Osmosis Faucet Installation

We're now going to review the steps for installing your Home Master reverse osmosis faucet. A minimum of a 1-inch hole is required in order to install the faucet. Folks, if you have a granite countertop, please consult with your local granite countertop specialist for assistance with drilling the hole for your Home Master reverse osmosis faucet.

If your sink has a spare pre-drilled hole, soap dispenser, or sprayer hose opening, you can mount the faucet there. When drilling a hole for the faucet, choose the location that is most convenient for dispensing the purified water. A flat area is required for the faucet location so the faucet base can be secured efficiently.

Today we'll be installing the Home Master luxury standard brushed nickel faucet with an integrated 3/8-inch port for easy installation and faster flow rate. Here you have the faucet, metal extrusion plate, rubber washer, and wing nut. Once the 1-inch hole has been drilled, the RO faucet can now be installed. First, remove the wing nut from the bottom of the faucet shank, then drop the faucet into the hole, shank first.

If you have someone to help you hold the faucet while you're under the kitchen sink, that's helpful. Otherwise, you can do it yourself. The next step is to lock the faucet in place with the wing nut. Please note this is a non-air-gap faucet, as air-gap faucets are not commonly required. However, if you do require an air-gap faucet, please call us and we'll provide you with a standard Home Master air-gap RO faucet at no additional charge.

Feed Water Valve Installation

Next, we're going to proceed with installing the easy adapter, also known as the feed water valve, which is included in your five-piece bag. The easy adapter has a 3/8-inch male-to-female compression fitting, built-in shut-off valve, and a 1/4-inch connection to the system. 3/8 x 3/8 is the most common size. However, 1/2 x 1/2 inch is available upon request.

First, locate the cold water angle stop valve on the main water line under the sink. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water. You need to be sure you are using the cold water feed because hot water will destroy your RO system. Next, locate the 3/8-inch fitting, which is typically found on the line out of the angle stop or where the existing line connects to the faucet. Disconnect the 3/8-inch fitting on the angle stop valve to reveal the threads.

Once you've disconnected the fitting, you'll want to apply five to seven wraps of Teflon tape onto both the easy adapter and the male threads of the angle stop valve. Once applied, make sure the O-ring is properly seated, then slowly hand-tighten the easy adapter. We've installed the feed water adapter on the line, and you can see it here fitted on the stub on the bottom. On the top, we've reattached the cold water feed to the faucet.

Again, please be sure to apply Teflon tape to the top of the feed water adapter and the stub to secure it. Folks, this is very important. Please be sure the easy angle stop valve or feed water adapter is in the closed position.

Drain Connection Installation

All Home Master Loaded models now include the garbage disposal drain adapter. Please use the garbage disposal drain adapter for an easier installation if you have a garbage disposal under your kitchen sink. If you do not have a garbage disposal under your kitchen sink, then please use the drain saddle included in your installation kit instead.

An alternate method for connecting to the drain is to install the drain saddle. First, locate a vertical section of the pipe in front of the P-trap. You do not want to install it after the P-trap. This is the ideal location. Now that we've identified the location, we're going to place the template supplied with the drain saddle clamp over the location of the drain pipe and put a small mark where you are going to drill a hole with a 1/4-inch drill bit.

When you're drilling the hole, it's important not to drill through both sides of the drain pipe, only a single side in the center where you placed your mark. Once you've drilled your hole, it's time to install the drain saddle. Start by peeling the backing off the template supplied with the drain saddle and place it over the hole. Fit the drain saddle over the hole, place the backing on, and fasten it with the fastening nuts supplied.

In securing the drain saddle, it's important to keep the entrance of the drain directly over the drain hole and centered. To do that, you can use a screwdriver, pen, or long screw to align the holes before tightening.

Storage Tank Installation

We're now going to install the tank. Using an eyedropper or a small spoon, place two drops of unscented regular bleach inside the 1/4-inch stainless steel water nipple located on top of the storage tank. Once you've done so, allow it to sit for about two minutes. Pick up the storage tank and shake it out into the sink. Nothing more. Please remember, you should repeat this annually when servicing your unit.

Next, using the roll of Teflon tape included with your installation kit, apply five to seven wraps of Teflon tape in a clockwise direction to the water nipple located on top of the storage tank. Now that you've applied your five to seven wraps, it's time to apply the tank valve. Please only hand-tighten the tank valve, as overtightening will crack the fitting. This is the air valve, also known as the Schrader valve. You do not need to touch it at this time, as the tank ships pre-pressurized.

System Mounting and Tubing Connections

Place the tank in the back and out of the way. If space is an issue, the tank can be laid on its side, but upright is best. Now it's time to mount your Home Master. Locate a section of cabinetry where there's enough space around the filter cluster to ensure you can remove it for future servicing.

Install the mounting clip, then pop the Home Master filter cluster into place. The ribbed cap with the single fitting is the top. The two fittings, white and gray, are at the bottom. Cut the tubing ties and proceed with connecting the orange feed water line, red drain line, black storage tank line, and blue faucet line.

Before proceeding with startup, ensure the refrigerator connection kit is in the closed position with the ball valve perpendicular to the tube.

System Startup Procedure

Let's begin the startup procedure. First, ensure the valve on top of the storage tank is in the closed position. Next, confirm the feed water valve or easy adapter is also in the closed position. Open the cold water angle stop valve on the main water line. Once fully open, return to the easy adapter and slowly open it until the valve is completely open.

You must open the easy adapter very slowly to allow water to flow through the system at a slow pace. Otherwise, you can damage your system. You will start to hear water filling the system. Come up to the sink and open the faucet. Leave it open and let it run. A trickle of water should be present after 2 to 20 minutes. Some blackening of the water may be present due to loose carbon being flushed out.

Once the trickle runs clear, close the reverse osmosis faucet and allow the system to pressurize. When the system is pressurized, it will shut off automatically. This is the most important step: the leak check. Tug gently on each tube to ensure it is secure. Use a paper towel to check each fitting for moisture.

Once you have confirmed there are no leaks, slowly open the tank valve to allow the storage tank to fill. Please note, the storage tank may take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to completely fill. Once full, the system will become completely silent.

Fill and Drain Procedure

Before getting started, please ensure your tank is full of water and the system is completely silent. This procedure may last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. First, close the feed water valve or easy adapter. Once closed, lock open the reverse osmosis faucet and allow the water to flow until it comes to a complete stop. You will want to complete this step twice.

Please note some harmless fine air bubbles or gray-tinted water may be present. These are normal and accompany new system installations or filter changes. Once the water comes to a complete stop, close the reverse osmosis faucet. Slowly open the feed water valve again and allow the storage tank to refill.

After filling and completely draining the tank twice, you're ready to start enjoying your perfect water.

Conclusion

And there you have it. You've successfully completed the installation of your new Home Master Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System. For more details and information regarding your Home Master Reverse Osmosis System, please visit us at www.theperfectwater.com.

Video Transcript: Home Master HydroPerfection Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System Annual DIY Filter Change

Introduction

Hey guys, your buddy Will here with Perfect Water Technologies. We're the folks who manufacture the Home Master product line. Today, we'll be conducting the annual DIY filter change on our most powerful unit, the Home Master HydroPerfection Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System. If you own a different Home Master RO system, don't worry. You can still use this filter change video as a guide, as all Home Master RO systems are similar in configuration. No matter which Home Master RO system you own, the filters are replaced annually for the best filtration possible. This blue canister here in the center is the membrane, also known as the membrane and housing and fittings assembly. It requires replacement every three to five years, depending on water quality and usage. If you order the annual filter change kit in conjunction with the membrane and housing and fittings assembly, it will come pre-assembled with brand-new tubing for a plug-and-play installation. If you have any questions about what to order, please don't hesitate to give us a call Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Arizona time, and we'll be more than happy to help you with your order.

Preparation

Before beginning the annual filter change, clear away a workspace and clean the area under your sink. Once you've done so, lay a towel under the system just like this. Please keep in mind that the annual filter change kit comes with step-by-step paper instructions. Additionally, we have a PDF version available for download right on our company website.

Shut Down and Depressurize the System

First, locate and slowly close the Easy Adapter, also known as the feed water valve. If your system contains a UV filter like the HydroPerfection, unplug the power supply. If not, skip this step. Next, locate and slowly close the valve on top of the storage tank. When closed, the valve will be perpendicular to the water line. Once you've closed the valve on top of the storage tank, it's now time to depressurize your system. To successfully depressurize your system, lock open the reverse osmosis faucet and allow the water to dispense until it no longer flows. You've successfully depressurized your system. Leave the RO faucet in the open position. We'll come back to this later. Slowly remove the filtration cluster from the mounting clips, from the bottom up, and lay it on the towel. As you can see, each of the filters has a flow direction arrow. Please take note of the flow direction before disconnecting it and only disconnect one filter at a time. A helpful tip is to take a picture or video of the flow direction with your smartphone.

Replacing the Sediment Filter

First, we're going to replace the sediment filter. To release the tube from the filter, push down on the collet ring while simultaneously pulling the tube. Repeat this for the other end. Once you've done so, use a cutter to trim the end of the tube to give it a nice, straight cut. Folks, if you're using scissors, please be sure that they are clean and sharp. If you find that the tube is getting short, please give us a call and we'll be more than happy to send you standard tubing at no cost. Now it's time to install the new filter. Grab the end of the tube and push it into the sediment filter about a half inch. Repeat the same for the opposite end. Once you've done so, pull back gently to ensure a snug fit.

Replacing the Iron Filter

Next, we're going to replace the iron filter. The iron filter is used on the Ultra and HydroPerfection systems. If you have the Artesian or Standard Home Master, this will be a quarter-inch carbon filter. Before replacing the filter, please take note of the flow direction. Again, push down on the collet ring and pull out on the tube. Repeat for the opposite end. Once you've done so, trim the end of the tubing. Install the new filter in the same orientation and reconnect the tubing. Once completed, pull back gently to ensure a snug fit.

Replacing the Artesian Filter

Looking at the final filter, the Artesian filter may appear upside down, but it is not. In this application, the flow arrow should point downward. On systems with a UV filter, such as the Ultra and HydroPerfection models, the final filter points down. On systems without a UV filter, such as the Standard or Artesian Full Contact systems, the final carbon filter or Artesian filter points up. This is a perfect example of why you should always take note of the flow direction before removing any filter. To replace the Artesian filter, push down on the collet ring while simultaneously pulling out the tubing. Repeat for the opposite end. Trim the tubing ends, remove the old filter, and install the new filter while matching the flow direction arrows. In some cases, it may feel like a two-step process where you push the tubing in and then push it a little further. Once installed, pull back gently to ensure a snug fit.

Replacing the UV Bulb

It's now time to service the UV filter. If you do not have one, skip this step. Before getting started, please ensure that you've disconnected the UV power supply so the light is not illuminated while replacing it. Never power the UV light while it is exposed, as it can be harmful to your eyes. To remove the UV bulb from the filter housing, simply pull up as if you're pulling a carrot out of the ground. Please handle the glass bulb very carefully. If you break it, it can be sharp and become a hazard. Once you remove the light bulb, discard it in accordance with your local and state guidelines. Grab your new UV bulb and gently slide it back into the UV filter housing.

Remount the System

Now that you've replaced the filters on your Home Master HydroPerfection system, it's time to remount the unit back into its cabinet mounting clips. The easiest way to do this is to install it at a 45-degree angle, securing the top first and then the bottom. Once you've remounted the unit, reconnect the UV light to the power supply. If your system does not contain a UV filter, skip this step.

Leak Check Procedure

Once the unit is remounted, it's time to check for leaks and perform the fill-and-drain procedure. First, make sure the unit is dry and double-check that all valves are in the closed position. Then slowly open the Easy Adapter or angle stop valve. Always reintroduce water at a very slow pace, as opening it rapidly can damage system components such as the automatic shutoff valve (ASV). Water should flow normally from your kitchen faucet, and you should hear water flowing through the system. A trickle of water should be present after 2 to 20 minutes. Some blackening of the water may occur due to loose carbon being flushed out. Once the trickle runs clear, close the RO faucet and allow the system to pressurize. When the system is pressurized, it will shut off automatically. This is the most important step of the day: the leak check. Gently tug on each tube to ensure the collet ring teeth have locked onto the tubing. Then use a paper towel to lightly touch each fitting where the tubing meets the collet ring. Inspect the paper towel for signs of water. Once you've confirmed there are no leaks, inspect all remaining fittings, including those that were not serviced.

Fill-and-Drain Procedure

This procedure may last anywhere from two to three hours, with most of the time spent waiting for the tank to refill. Draining the tank typically takes 10 to 15 minutes each time. If you have a full tank of water, you can use that water to flush the filters, provided the tank has sufficient air pressure. If it does not, please review our tank pressurization video first. Close the Easy Adapter, also known as the feed water valve, and slowly open the tank valve. Lock open the RO faucet and allow the water to flow until it comes to a complete stop. Once the water stops flowing, slowly close the tank valve, then slowly open the feed water valve. Please make sure the tank valve remains closed at this time, as you do not want loose carbon entering the storage tank. Observe the trickle at the RO faucet. Once the trickle runs clear, close the RO faucet and allow the system to pressurize. When fully pressurized, the system will automatically shut off. Slowly open the tank valve and allow the tank to completely fill, which may take up to three hours.

The next steps are simple: fill and drain the storage tank twice. Once the tank is full, close the feed water valve. Lock open the RO faucet and allow the water to flow until it comes to a complete stop. Repeat this process at least twice. Please note that some harmless fine air bubbles or gray-tinted water may be present. This is completely normal and often accompanies a new system installation or filter replacement. Air becomes trapped inside tiny carbon pores and is released over time. You can confirm they are air bubbles rather than sediment by pouring a glass of water and watching the bubbles clear from the bottom upward. After pouring a glass of water, allow a few seconds for the water to clear and enjoy. Finally, slowly reopen the Easy Adapter or angle stop valve to return the system to normal operation.

Conclusion

There you have it. You've successfully completed the annual Home Master filter change and fill-and-drain procedure.

Video Transcript: Home Master Annual Storage Tank Pressurization Procedure

Introduction

Hey guys, your buddy Will here with Perfect Water Technologies. We're the folks who manufacture the Home Master product line. Today, we'll be conducting the annual storage tank pressurization procedure for the Home Master Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System. The sanitization procedure, storage tank pressurization procedure, and annual filter change procedure should all be completed on an annual basis.

Tools Required

Let's go over some tools you'll need to successfully complete the procedure. First, a manual bicycle pump. Folks, please avoid using an electric pump similar to a compressor, as you may overinflate the bladder in the storage tank, ultimately rupturing it. Second, a pressure gauge that reads between 0 and 10 PSI. Please note that some automobile pressure gauges begin reading at 20 PSI. Last but not least, a towel. You might want to keep that handy. Now that you have your tools together, let's get started.

Drain the Storage Tank

First, close the feed water valve by turning it perpendicular to the tubing. Ensure the tank valve is open, with the handle in line with the tube. Next, open the reverse osmosis faucet to drain the storage tank. This may take some time, typically between 5 and 10 minutes. Once the tank has been completely emptied of water, pull it out for more workspace, but you do not need to disconnect the tubing. Lift the tank to confirm it still contains water. If you believe it is empty, continue to measure the air pressure. Please note that if the tank is completely empty and reads 7.5 PSI, do not add air.

Remove Remaining Water

Once the water has stopped flowing from the faucet, lift the tank to determine whether it still contains water. If it does, proceed to manually pump it out using the bicycle pump. First, unscrew the blue cap on the side of the tank. If at any point water is flowing from the Schrader valve, please contact us immediately at the number provided, as the tank may require replacement. Attach the manual bicycle pump to the Schrader valve and slowly add air to the tank. If the tank still contains water, you'll see it being pushed out of the faucet. Add air three pumps at a time, check the flow, and allow it to decline. Gradually continue adding air until you reach the point where you can increase air pressure without any water flowing from the faucet. Verify that the tank is completely empty by lifting it and ensuring it feels light.

Check and Adjust Air Pressure

Once the tank is completely empty of water, measure the air pressure. Disconnect the bicycle pump and use the pressure gauge. If the pressure is less than 7.5 PSI, gradually add air while checking the PSI periodically. If you accidentally overfill the tank, depress the Schrader valve pin to release air until the pressure returns to the desired 7.5 PSI. Lastly, replace the blue cap. If the tank contains too much air pressure, gradually release the excess air. Please note that adding more than 7.5 PSI will not increase the pressure at the faucet. It will only reduce the tank's storage capacity and add unnecessary back pressure to the system.

Refill the System

First, place the tank back into its original position. Next, slowly open the feed water valve until it is completely open. Once you observe a thin stream of water at the faucet, close the faucet and allow the tank to refill. Refilling the tank may take up to three hours. Once the tank is full, your system is ready for normal operation and you can begin enjoying the water.

Conclusion

And that's it. Congratulations! You've successfully completed the Home Master Annual Storage Tank Pressurization Procedure. For more details and information regarding your Home Master Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System, please visit us at www.theperfectwater.com.

Video Transcript: Home Master ASV Delete Procedure (Automatic Shut-Off Valve Bypass)

Introduction

Hey guys, your buddy Will here with Perfect Water Technologies. We're the folks who manufacture the Home Master product line. Today, I'll be showing you how to perform a bypass of the automatic shut-off valve (ASV). This valve's only function is to shut the system off when the tank is full of water. Fear not, the permeate pump will do the same exact thing once the tank reaches capacity. I'm really excited to show you, so let's have some fun and get started.

Prepare the Work Area

First, you want to give yourself some room to work. Clear away a workspace under the sink near the Home Master RO system. If your system has a refrigerator connection kit, locate and close the valve feeding the refrigerator. If it does not, skip this step. If your system has a UV filter, folks, this is very important: before you begin this process, unplug the power adapter. If your system does not contain a UV filter, skip this step.

Depressurize the System

Locate and slowly close the Easy Adapter, also known as the feed water valve. When closed, it will be perpendicular to the tubing. Next, locate and slowly close the tank valve located on top of the reserve tank. When closed, it will be perpendicular to the water line. We're now going to depressurize the system. To do this, simply open your reverse osmosis faucet and let the water flow until it comes to a complete stop. Your system is now depressurized. Go ahead and leave the reverse osmosis faucet in the open position; we'll come back to this momentarily. Folks, please note that if water continues to flow from the faucet and does not stop, you'll need to repeat the previous steps by making sure both the feed water valve and tank valve are completely closed.

Remove the Automatic Shut-Off Valve (ASV)

Slowly remove the filtration cluster from its mounting clip and place it at the bottom of your cabinet. Locate the ASV found at the heart of the system. As you can see, the ASV flows in a U-pattern, so the inlet and outlet are next to one another on either side. Notice how the water flows from the pre-filter into the top side of the automatic shut-off valve port labeled "IN," then out to the top of the blue membrane. First, remove the tube from the ASV port labeled "IN." To release the tube, push the collet ring in while simultaneously pulling the tube in the opposite direction. Next, remove the tube going into the top of the blue membrane using the same method.

Now we're going to plug the first two tubes we removed from the ASV directly into the top of the RO membrane. On the bottom side of your ASV, you'll notice a long tube running to the permeate pump and a shorter tube running to a T-fitting or UV filter, depending on which Home Master model you have. Remove the tube from the permeate pump to the ASV first by pushing in the collet ring while pulling the tube free. Next, remove the shorter tube from the T-fitting using the same process. Lastly, take the tube from the pump and connect it directly into the open T-fitting. Your ASV is now free and clear.

Next, remove the ASV and the two tubes still connected to it. Allow it to air dry, place it in a clean plastic bag, and set it aside in a clean, safe place. You may discard this part once you're satisfied with the new configuration.

Remount and Reconnect the System

Now that you've bypassed the ASV on your Home Master RO system, it's time to mount the system back into its mounting clip. Once you've mounted the unit, reconnect the UV filter if your system contains one. If your system does not contain a UV filter, skip this step.

Pressurize the System and Check for Leaks

Now that you have the unit remounted, it's time to pressurize your RO system and check for leaks. First, make sure the unit is dry and double-check that all valves are in the closed position. Once you've done so, slowly open the Easy Adapter, also known as the feed water valve or angle stop valve. Open it very slowly, as you always want to reintroduce water back into the system at a gradual pace. Water should flow normally from your kitchen faucet, and you should hear water flowing through the system. A trickle of water should be present after 2 to 20 minutes. Once you observe the trickle of water, close the lever on the RO faucet and allow the system to pressurize. When the system is pressurized, it will shut off automatically. If your system contains a UV filter, please proceed by plugging the power supply back in.

Leak Check Procedure

Folks, this is the most important step of the day: the leak check. Please tug on each tube gently. Don't try to pull it out; simply tug on each tube to ensure that the teeth inside the collet ring have locked onto it. Next, use a paper towel to gently touch the tube where it meets the collet ring. Do not put any pressure on the collet ring; simply touch it with the paper towel. This allows you to inspect the paper towel for any signs of water. Once you've confirmed there is no water present, examine each of the remaining fittings, including those that were not modified during this procedure. After completing the leak check, slowly open the tank valve. If your system has a refrigerator connection kit, locate and open the valve feeding the refrigerator. If it does not, skip this step.

Conclusion

And there you have it. You've successfully completed the Home Master ASV Delete Procedure. For more details and information regarding your Home Master reverse osmosis water filtration system, please visit us at www.homemasterfilters.com. This is Will with Perfect Water Technologies signing off.

Video Transcript: Home Master Junior Series Countertop Water Filtration System Installation

Hi, I'm Jon with Perfect Water Technologies. Today, I'll show you how to install the Home Master Junior Series countertop water filtration system. The unit featured in this video is the Home Master Junior F2, but the installation process is the same for all Home Master Junior models.

Before we begin, let's take a look at what's included in the box. You'll find the installation instructions, owner's manual, and filter replacement guide. Be sure to keep these documents for future reference.

You will also receive a faucet adapter, which is designed to fit most standard kitchen faucets. If your faucet uses a different thread type, you may need to purchase an aftermarket adapter.

The package also includes an adapter ring with an O-ring, along with the filtration unit itself. The housing is located at the top of the unit, while the cap is positioned at the bottom.

Attached to the unit is the diverter valve and pull pin. When the pull pin is activated, water is directed through the filter and out of the filtration spout. When the pin is not engaged, water continues to flow normally through the faucet aerator.

Now that we've reviewed the components, let's begin the installation.

Removing the Faucet Aerator

The first step is to remove the aerator from your kitchen faucet. If mineral buildup makes it difficult to remove by hand, place a soft cloth or paper towel around the aerator to protect the finish and use a wrench to loosen it.

Once loosened, continue unscrewing the aerator by hand until it comes free from the faucet.

After removing the aerator, check for the existing O-ring. It may be attached to the aerator or remain inside the faucet opening. If the O-ring is still inside the faucet, remove it before proceeding.

Be sure to keep the original aerator in a safe place. Storing it in a labeled bag or drawer will make it easy to find if you ever need to remove the filtration system.

Installing the Diverter Valve

The next step is to attach the diverter valve to the faucet. In this example, the faucet has female threads, so the supplied adapter must be installed first. If your faucet has male threads, you can attach the diverter valve directly to the faucet.

Thread the faucet adapter onto the faucet. The built-in O-ring creates a secure seal, helping to prevent leaks.

Once the adapter is installed, attach the diverter valve and hand-tighten it securely. In most cases, hand-tightening is sufficient. If necessary, you can use a wrench for a final adjustment, but avoid overtightening.

With the diverter valve installed, you're ready to test the connection.

Flushing the Filter System

Turn on the cold water supply. You may notice some air passing through the system initially, which is completely normal.

At this stage, water will flow directly from the faucet as unfiltered tap water.

To direct water through the Home Master Junior filter, pull the diverter pin. As water begins flowing through the filtration system, you may see air bubbles and, depending on the filter model, a small amount of loose carbon particles. This is normal during the initial startup.

Allow the system to run continuously for approximately 10 minutes to thoroughly flush the filter before use.

Using the Home Master Junior System

For best filtration performance, always use cold water and operate the system at a moderate flow rate. While the water is filtered at full flow, a slower flow rate allows more contact time with the filtration media, resulting in more effective filtration.

When you're finished using the system, turn off the water supply. The diverter pin will automatically return to its resting position, allowing water to flow normally through the faucet during future use.

You may notice a small amount of water dripping from the Home Master Junior after the faucet is turned off. This is normal and occurs because water remains inside the filter housing and tubing, similar to water draining from a garden hose.

If you'd like to speed up the draining process, simply tilt the unit slightly forward and allow the remaining water to empty.

Installation Complete

This completes the installation of the Home Master Junior Series countertop water filtration system.

If you have any questions or need additional support, please visit Perfect Water Technologies for product information, troubleshooting assistance, and replacement filters.

I'm Jon with Perfect Water Technologies. Thanks for watching.
