Replacing filter cartridges (canisters #1,2,3,5, & 7), ultraviolet light 
(canister #4), or polyphosphate crystals (canister #6)

1.   Remove cover and unit housing following instructions on page 6, 

Step 2.

2.   Uncoil clear tubing attached to pressure relief valve on top of 

unit and place end of tube into bucket or drain.

3.  Open bypass valve (see illustration page 5).

4.  Close inlet valve and outlet valve (see illustration page 5).

5.   Open pressure relief valve (be sure tube is secured in bucket or 

drain). Leave pressure relief valve open.

6.   Unscrew blue canister counter clockwise using supplied canister 

wrench.

7.   For canisters 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, & 7, remove used cartridge/crystals  

and discard.

8.   

CAUTION: Confirm system is disconnected from power source 
before proceeding with step 8!

 

On canister #4, pull up on plug cap (see page 9 - figure 1) until 
lamp is exposed. Unplug lamp, from plug cap. Remove old lamp 
from chamber and insert new lamp with connectors pointing up. 
Plug lamp into plug cap and place cap back over top. 

10.  Rinse out each canister and fill about 1/3 full of water.  

Add 2 tablespoons of bleach and scrub thoroughly with a  
fine bristle brush or cloth. Let blue canister remain wetted  
with bleach solution for 5-10 minutes. Empty canisters and 
rinse thoroughly.

11.  Insert a new cartridge into the canisters or refill  

polyphosphate crystals as required.  
EXCEPTION-See #19 below before proceeding.

12.  Screw the blue canister into the cap and HAND tighten.  

Gently snug the canister with the supplied wrench. DO NOT 
OVER-TIGHTEN.

13.  Open inlet valve (see illustration page 5) and be sure tube is 

secured in bucket or drain.

14. Open outlet valve (see illustration page 5).

15. Close bypass valve (see illustration page 5).

16. Observe tubing to determine that all air has escaped the unit. 

17. Close pressure relief valve and coil tubing on top of unit.

18. Check for leaks before leaving installation.

18. Replace unit housing and cover.

19.  Some cartridges may contain a small amount of “fines” (very fine 

black powder). Following the installation of new filter cartridges, 
the system should be sufficiently flushed to remove these “fines” 
before using the water. Important: Run one faucet in the home 
for 20 minutes after the installation of any new filter.  

The 1-micron filter should be left out of canister 7 until the unit 
has been flushed to prevent pre-mature clogging of the filter.
