Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown water quality without 

adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be 

used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Care and Maintenance

To clean your filter unit, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. 

For the AQ-5200 and AQ-5300 only: 

Once filters are at 95% capacity (about every 6 months), the battery alarm will sound and flash red 
when water is flowing and will continue for 15 seconds once water is turned off. Change the battery 
every time you replace your filters. The battery is included with the filter replacement cartridges.
