1
Use your hand to unscrew the wire screen and washer from the end of your faucet. These are located on the bottom tip of the faucet where the water is released when turned on.
-
2
Position the diverter on the bottom of the faucet and use your hand to tighten it by turning counterclockwise until it is firmly fitted. The diverter is the eSpring mechanism that purifies water.

3
Attach an adapter with an internal or external thread and washer to the end of the faucet if the diverter doesn't fit. You need to purchase an adapter that has the correct thread for your faucet. Once the adapter is in place, screw the diverter on by turning in a counterclockwise direction. You can tighten both the adapter and diverter by hand.

4
Unscrew the textured nuts located on the side of the diverter and push them into the tubes that come with your eSpring Purifier. Make sure that the threads are facing out. The large nut goes on the larger of the tubes.
-
5
Attach the tubing to the holes that used to contain the nuts. The large tube will go in the large hole and the small tube will go in the small hole. The nuts have barbs that will secure the tubing.
-
6
Push the large tube onto the large barb and the small tube onto the small barb.
-
7
Screw the nuts onto the barbs by hand. Tighten them so that they are secure.
-
8
Run the tubing up under the faucet and use the straps to secure the tubing to the faucet. This will ensure that the diverter stays attached to the faucet.
-
9
Position the eSpring Water Purifier near the faucet and remove the shroud, which is the top of the purifier. The electronic module will now be exposed.
-
10
Remove the electronic module. If the tubes from the purifier to the faucet are too long, use a sharp knife to cut the them to the desired length. Make the cut where the tubes are separate and are no longer bonded together.
-
11
Measure 18 mm from the open end of the large tube and make a mark with a pen. Measure 15 mm from the open end of the small tube and make a mark.
-
12
Push the tubing supports into their respective tubes. Push the tubes and supports into the brackets at the back of the purifier until the mark you made in step 11 disappears. Replace the electronic module and shroud.
-
13
Test the purifier by turning on the water and pulling the diverter pin outwards. The cartridge should flush out purified water after about 15 minutes.
