Specification guidelines.
Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed
from water using activated carbon filter
cartridges. They are most often used to
remove a chlorine taste and odor. They can
also reduce other undesirable elements
from drinking water supplies, such as
organic chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE:
Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide
(noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be
reduced by taste and odor filters for a short
time, but the carbon media is quickly
exhausted. Other water conditioning
equipment is usually required for the
continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered
drinking water when opened. It has a hand-
operated, spring-loaded closed lever to
prevent waste. You can keep the faucet
open by pushing upward on the lever to
lock it against the faucet spout.
Filter Cartridge Life—
Several variables
determine how long the cartridges
will last in your Water Filtration system.
These include:
How much water you use.
How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead,
or other unwanted substance, is in the water.
No matter which Water Filtration system
you have, you should replace the cartridges
every six months.
Apply the Filter Replacement Reminder Label to
one of the filter sumps between the ribs. Mark
the date for filter replacement six months from
the installation date.
In extremely poor water supplies, you
may notice the return of the unwanted
substance in your water before the six
months are up. In this case the cartridges
should be replaced immediately.
NOTE:
If the water supply contains high
amounts of sediments, the carbon filters
may plug with them, reducing filtered
water flow to the system faucet.
Cartridge
replacement is needed to restore flow.
