1. With the blue caps in place wash the exterior of each fluoride filter Elements with water and mild dishwashing soap, then rinse. With clean hands, remove both blue caps from each end of both filter Elements. 2. Place the rubber priming button (tan colored) onto one end of a fluoride filter and align the hole of the filter with the hole of the rubber washer. Press the priming button up against the sink faucet so that the priming button creates a seal between the faucet and the Fluoride Filter. Place your thumb on top of the faucet to apply pressure, to create a better seal (as seen in picture). 4. Turn the Fluoride filter over and prime the opposite end (reversing the of water) repeating steps 3-5 until water runs clear from both directions. 3. While holding the priming button against the faucet, turn on the cold water slowly, allowing water to fill the cavity of the filter and from the opposite end. Allow water to for at least or until water runs clear. 5. To determine if the filter is fully primed, collect the filtered water in a clear glass and hold it up to the light to see if all of the cloudiness is gone from the water, if not continue priming until water is clear. This filter is now primed and ready to install. Repeat priming steps 1-7 for each additional Fluoride Filter.
