Replacing Your Cartridge
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY FILTER MEDIA?
The whole house filter is designed to remove chlorine and other
contaminants from approximately 60,000 gallons of water. In virtually all
cases, the taste and odor of chlorine will return to municipal water when
the cartridge has lost its effectiveness. The type and concentration of
contaminants varies widely throughout the country. Therefore, to assure
maximum effectiveness and the best possible water quality, it is
suggested that the cartridge be replaced at least every three years.
SEDIMENT Filter Cartridge
This Filter Cartridge replacement should be done as necessary as
determined by visual inspection. When the cartridge has noticeably
darkened and/or the water pressure has dropped, it is time to clean or
replace the sediment prefilter.
STEPS
1. Shut the IN water supply off.
2. Open a faucet closest to the filter housing and
allow all the water to empty from the plumbing
system.
3. Push the red button on top of the filter housing to
release the remaining water pressure.
4. Use the supplied filter wrench to remove the
housing by turning it counterclockwise.
WARNING! It is important that the water pressure is
released before attempting to remove the filter housing. If
the pressure is not released it will be difficult to remove the
housing.
