Maintenance

Cartridge Replacement

1.  Close the small shut-off valve on the feed valve assembly.

2.  Close the tank shut-off valve.

3.  Open the dispensing faucet to relieve system pressure.  Close dispensing faucet when flow has stopped.

4.   Remove the cover from the front of the system.  Remove the retaining clip. Pull the cartridge off the system evenly at 

top and bottom.  Dispose of used cartridge. 

6.  Install the new cartridge, rocking gently from side to side as necessary until the cartridge tubes are properly engaged in 

the unit connectors.  Install the retaining clip, ensuring the slide locks snap into place in the slots.  If the clip does not snap 

easily into place through the slots it means the cartridge is not fully inserted into the connectors.  Press the top or bottom of 

the cartridge to engage the connector so that it snaps fully into place.  Failure to properly install the retaining clip will result 

in accidental leaks and flooding.  

7.  Open the small shut-off valve on the feed valve assembly. Open the dispensing faucet. 

8.  Close dispensing faucet after water starts running. 

9.  Observe system for any leaks, especially at newly re placed cartridge. 

10.  Open the tank shut-off valve.

11.  The system should be flushed at least once as described above under Section 8.

Post Filter Replacement

1.  Close the small shut-off valve on the feed valve assembly.

2.  Close the tank shut-off valve.

3.  Open the dispensing faucet. 

4.   Close the dispensing faucet when the water stops flowing.

5.    Locate the inline filter on the faucet line.

6.    Remove the tubing by depressing the collet towards the filter and pulling the blue tubing from the filter.

7.    Remove the other side of the blue tubing as described above.

8.    Reverse the above steps to install the new inline filter, making sure that the tubing is pressed in as far as possible.

9.  Open the small shut-off valve on the feed valve assembly. Observe system for any leaks, especially at newly re placed 

cartridge. 

10.  Open the tank shut-off valve.  

11.  The system should be flushed at least once as described in System Activation and Flushing.
