Cartridge.

1. 

Turn off the water to the system by  

closing the feed water valve.

2. 

Close the tank valve.

3. 

Open a valve on the line to the

6. 

Drop the new carbon cartridge into 

the bowl and screw the bowl in 

place.

7. 

Turn on the feed water. Air and 

water should flow out of the Brine 

and the Product tubing.

8. 

Observe the system for leaks, 

especially at newly replaced 

cartridges.

9. 

The system should be flushed as 

described in the installation section 

under RINSING THE RO SYSTEM.

10.
