WHEN TO REPLACE THE CARTRIDGE

NOTE: 

This cartridge is designed for typical use up to 12 mths.  However, its life depends on the quality of the water and the amount of water used. 

Cartridge life may be shortened where sediment levels are high.  

It is time to replace the cartridge when the cartridge gauge (703-4) can be passed 

over the width of the ceramic or after 12 months or 1000 US gal / 3785L.
Note:

 If water contains excessive sediment, install a Rainfresh Whole House Sediment Filter (FC100,FC150,FC300,FC350, or BH010/BH020) on the main 

cold water line to protect all fixtures and appliances.

MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Lubricate Head Seal at least once a year and when draining for winter. 

Use food grade silicone grease or non petroleum lubricant. Water 
conditions can be hard on rubber seals. Head Seal replacement at least 
every two years is recommended to minimize wear and tear and prevent 
leakage.

2. 

Caution:

 Due to a limited product service life and to prevent costly 

repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that sump 
(#520) be replaced every 5 years. If sump of your filter unit has been used 
for more than this period, replace immediately. Date the bottom of any 

new sump to indicate next replacement date.

3. Do Not clean housing with organic solvents such as those found in 

sprays for cleaning products or insecticides as these may cause cracking 
or crazing and lead to failure and leakage.

4. If Sump is difficult to remove, the unit is still under pressure. Depress 

vent button on top of unit again.

5. If leakage occurs around the Head Seal:
  a)  Seal may have become twisted during cartridge change. Reinstall the 

seal with groove facing down and check for leaks.

  b)  Sediment has caused a seal interference. Remove seal and clean 

sealing area on Head and Sump. Reinstall seal with groove facing 
down and check  for leaks. NOTE: If leak persists after trying a) or b), 
replace seal.

  c)  The seal is cracked and should be replaced.

6. If leakage occurs around top of unit, Vent Valve assembly is not closing. 

Replace the assembly.
