Final Polishing Filter - How to change the Final Polishing Filter

This is the final filtration stage in your R.O. System.  The Final Polishing filter is rated for 1800-2000 
gallons of purified water production and therefore should be changed every second time you change 
your three pre-filters.

This concludes all filter change instructions for the Aquarium II Dual System.  Please check on your sys-
tem every hour after the filter change for the first three to four hours inspecting for any potential small 
leaks.  If any drips are detected please see our Leak Prevention Page (page 18) which will explain how 
to quickly and easily fix all potential leaks.

Please do not hesitate to contact if you should need further assistance.
