Step 1: So the first thing you need to do is unpack everything, look for the list of contents and check that all the parts are there. This may sound very obvious, but you need to know if anything is missing. If this is the case, you can probably pick them up at your local hardware store.

Step 2: So now to start the actual installation. The next step is to unscrew the aerator and remove the old washer.

Step 3 : Now you can attach the faucet diverter valve. Now this should be supplied with your package. You might need to attach an adapter first. Again, any quality product comes complete with everything you need. Tighten this with the hex tool, making sure the washer is properly in place.

Step 4 : Next you attach the outlet and inlet hoses. At this point you need to turn your faucet water filter upside down. You will have a diagram showing you exactly where to attach the inlet and outlet hoses. It's important to run a test to see which is which. You'll see quickly by the flow of the water if you've got it assembled correctly. Once again, this is very straight forward and self-explanatory.

Step 5 : It's important to run a test with the filter still upside down. Start to run the water. Now at the beginning it's going to be really murky from carbon fines and air bubbles. But just let it keep running for a few minutes until it begins to run really clear. When it does, your water is ready to drink.

That's quick and easy, isn't it? But as I said, any reputable manufacturer will supply absolutely everything you need from the adapters and washers to instructions sheets and diagrams for assembly.
