5. One of the filters won’t drain…
• Make sure the appropriate tube or spout is removed completely from the
tubing receptacle. Turn the filter housing counter-clockwise 1/4 turn. If the
filter still won’t drain, continue turning the filter housing counter-clockwise
in small increments until water flows out of unit at the tubing receptacles.
(Be careful not to turn the filter-housing too far, water may be released
from housing and spill out over the base.)
6. Water continues to flow out of filtered water diverter valve nozzle
after water is turned off…
• Some water may continue to flow after shut off due to the build-up of
pressure within the unit. This is normal. If water flows for longer than one
minute, remove the body-cover and press the red pressure release valve
located on the pre-filter housing. Continue pressing the valve until water
escapes instead of air. As soon as only water escapes, release the valve.
Wipe any water from the pre-filter housing with a soft cloth. Replace the
body-cover.
• You may also invert the entire filter in the sink (positioning the spout so
the flow does not spray out of the sink) and run for 3-5 minutes. This will
help purge air trapped in the water system allowing better water flow.

Your AQUA

II is a modular system that should last for years with proper
maintenance and regular replacement of components using genuine Rena
Ware parts. Please refer to the “Component Replacement Chart” on the back
of this manual for information about when to replace components.
‘‘Half-life’’ of the multi-media filter
Your multi-media filter will reach ‘‘half-life’’ after filtering 9,462 liters (2,500
gallons) of water.
When you first put your unit in service, the flow meter viewing window will
register as green. As you near the ‘‘half-life’’ point, the flow-meter viewing
window will register as yellow, and then red when the ‘‘half-life’’ point has
been reached. At this point, the flow meter will shut the system off, indicating
the need to service the unit.
Remove the filter base and expose the flow
meter see fig, 34 page 23). Using a pen,
mark the box on the flow meter label next
to ‘‘1/2’’. This will be your indication that
the ‘‘half-life’’ of the multi-media filter has
been reached. Then rotate the flow-meter
clockwise until the notch on the label aligns
with the indicator on the flow-meter body
(see figure 37).
