Home Water Filters Undersink Water Filters


There are several different types of water filters that can be installed underneath the sink. These undersink water filters provide bottled-water taste at a fraction of the cost. Installation of undersink water filters is fairly simple and straightforward, requiring only the undersink water filter kit with compression fittings and mounting hardware, and teflon tape.

To begin the installation, it is necessary to disconnect and remove the line that connects the cold-water supply to the faucet, which is located underneath the sink. This normally involves no more than loosening the securing nuts, along with removing the rigid supply line. Once the line is disconnected, it is important to place teflon tape on the fittings in order to ensure a good seal for the new filter lines that will be installed. The filter is then installed between the cold-water supply and the faucet. This is done in the space where the rigid line was removed. The water filter canister can then be installed in a way that will allow the water to enter the filter through an inlet. The water can then pass through the filter medium, and flow out of the filter through an outlet. This will result in filtered water being delivered to the faucet. The canister body can actually be removed from the lid so that the filter which is inside can be easily accessed and changed when it becomes necessary. The water will later be forced through the filtering media that''s housed inside the canister.

It is important to double check that the filter is being connected to the cold water supply line. The filter will not operate in the proper way if it is accidentally connected to the hot-water line. Make the top connection by attaching one end of the second flex-line to the kitchen faucet. Once the flex-line is attached to the faucet, the other end of the line can be attached to the outside of the filter. Once this is done, it is important to make sure the canister is mounted in a position high enough to allow enough clearance beneath the canister. Once this step is complete, the undersink water filter is installed, and can be easily accessed in the future to change the filter.
