note: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy.
If you set a glass of water on a level surface, you
should be able to watch the cloudiness disappear
from the bottom of the glass upwards. This harm-
less cloudiness results from the release of trapped
air within the cartridge and will disappear within a
few weeks after installation.

filter cartridge Replacement
Filter cartridges will last about 3785 liters (1,000
gallons) or twelve months before they need to be
replaced. Filter cartridge life varies depending on
filter life, usage, and/or water conditions. Changes
in taste, color, and flow of the water being filtered
indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.
Read all instructions before replacing filter car-
tridges.
1.
Turn off cold water supply to system and press
red pressure-relief button.
2.
Unscrew and remove bottom of filter housing.
Locate and remove large O-ring, wipe clean of
lubricant, and set aside. Repeat for second and
third housings.
3.
Discard used filter cartridges. Using a
non-abrasive sponge or cloth, scrub the bottom
of filter housings, O-ring grooves, and caps with
dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. Fill
bottom of each housing 1/3 full with water. Add
14.7ML (1 tablespoon) of household bleach and
scrub to disinfect.
caution: Read “WARNING” information on the
bleach container before using its contents.
4.
Lubricate O-ring with clean silicone grease.
Insert each O-ring in groove and press into place.
note: This step is important to ensure a proper
housing seal. Make certain each O-ring is seated
level in its groove or a leak may occur.
5.
Screw bottom of housings with bleach water
onto caps without filter cartridges and hand-tight-
en. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
6.
Turn on water supply. Let faucet run for about
10 seconds, then turn off faucet and let stand for
20-30 minutes.
7.
Turn on faucet and allow bleach water to run
out (about 3-5 minutes).

11.
Reset Effective Life Indicator to 1000 gallons
(see instructions under “Setting the Effective Life
Indicator” on Page 6).
12.
Turn on water to system and press pres-
sure-relief button. Let faucet run for 5 minutes
to remove trapped air and carbon fines. Check
system for leaks before leaving installation.
note: A drinking water cartridge may contain
carbon fines (very fine black powder). After instal-
lation, flush the cartridge for 5 minutes to remove
the fines before using the water. It is recommend-
ed that you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior
to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
