 3.  Wash the inside of the canister using hot 

water and a small amount of household 
dish washing detergent (automatic dish 
washing detergent is best). 
Rinse the canister thoroughly using clean 
water until all soap residue is removed.  
Remove the protective plastic from the filter 
which should be marked with the number 1 
and place it in the housing.

1.   Remove the blue filter canisters  

(containing the filters) from the boxes.

4.  Apply a light coat of food-grade lubricant (such as silicone gel) to 

the surface of the black O-ring at the top of the housing. 

This step 

is very important and cannot be skipped for any reason.

2.   Each blue filter canister, black canister cap 

(on the unit) and filter is numbered. Take 
filter canister #1, remove the filter from the 
canister and set aside. 

CAUTION:

Do not over tighten  

canisters when installing.

5.  Being careful to match the number on the blue canister with the 

number on the black canister head, carefully screw the blue canister 
into the black portion of the filter canister. Hand tighten the canister.

6.  Repeat the installation process, in-turn, for canisters 2, 3, 5, and 7. 

Container 6 will contain the polyphosphate granules, see step 7.

 

NOTE: 

When a new Carbon or KDF filter is installed, it is strongly 

recommended that the 1-micron filter (canister #7) not be installed until 
the system is fully flushed as described in item 21 under "Replacing Filter 
Cartridges" (page 10). This will prevent premature clogging of the filter.

NOTE: Canister 4

is for the UV lamp.
