How To Install "Bestcup" water filter in Andreja Premium

Does anyone know how to install the bestcup water filter in the Andreja Premium water tank. The system comes with one tube but no specific instructions on how to install. I find the instruction booklet impenetrable. Thanks for your help. Joshua Donen

Judging from the photo, I assume the intake line from the Andreja attaches to the available barbed fitting and the filter's line goes into the tank:

Note that there are two lines for your espresso machine; the one is an intake, the other exhausts water from the over-pressure valve (OPV). Usually the OPV tube has a V slit, but if you're uncertain, run the pump with a blind basket in the portafilter. All the water drawn by the inlet line will exit from the OPV line (for more details, see adjusting brew pressure / OPVs explained).

For the benefit of those reading along, Joshua sent me the scanned instructions:

I see why you were confused; the install instructions above don't match your machine. Based on the photo, I believe my post above is correct. Check if there's a waterflow direction indicator on the filter or its adapter.

I can't thank you enough for your thorough response.
