DIFFICULTY RATING: (2 out of 5 - Easy)

With a little planning and a handful of common tools, a system can be installed and working in no time.
Step 3: Set the new filtration faucet in place
Remove the cover plate for the accessory hole by unscrewing or unclipping it underneath the sink and popping it off the top of the sink. Set the new filtration faucet in place. The faucet should sit squarely and firmly, and the gasket should form a solid seal. Hand-tighten the retaining nut, temporarily holding the faucet in place. If applicable, center the retaining plate or washer over the hole. Now properly align the faucet from above before tightening the nut below. Add any remaining pieces to the faucet.
Set the new faucet squarely over the hole, forming a tight seal with the gasket underneath.
