TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
All SuperPlus Filtration Systems are fully inspected and pressure tested by factory. IF LEAKS- Note: The inlet shut-off
valve must be turned “OFF” (handle in vertical position), and pressure relieved by pushing the “Red” pressure relief
button before attempting to fix any leakage problems.
Leaks at threaded connection points.
This type of leak should be repaired by removing the fitting and applying
additional Teflon tape or thread sealant compound. Do not attempt to repair by tightening the fitting more. Over
tightening fittings into plastic parts may cause the plastic to crack. This type of damage is considered abuse and
not covered by the warranty.

Leaks at Junction of Modular Fittings to Filter Head.
If leaking persists at the junction points, remove the retainer
clip carefully by inserting a screwdriver or other object into to the hole and gently prying “UP” to remove. Gently
remove the leaking fitting by “pulling straight out”. Apply additional lubricant (supplied) to the O-ring and re-
insert the fitting by gently “pushing all the way in” until the shoulder on the fitting contacts the filter head. Examine
the retaining clip for any cracks from removal and re-insert by “pushing straight down” until it is all the way in. If
retaining clip is cracked or stretched in any way, discard it and use a new one (supplied). If the above procedure
does not cure the leak, repeat the processes above, replacing the O-Ring (supplied).
Leaks Between Cartridge and Filter Head
While looking at the top of the filter system, grasp the cartridge and turn
slightly counter-clockwise, when viewed from bottom and then back clockwise, making sure that the ears on the
cartridge are fully engaged into the filter head. The “white” locking ears on the cartridge should be fully visible in
the 4 recesses on the “black” filter head.
If leakage persists,
check all connecting fittings/O-Rings and replace the damage fittings/O-Rings if damaged or
remove cartridge by following the procedures outlined in the Cartridge Change-Out Instructions on “Cartridge
Change-Out” Page.
Inspect the O-Ring
on the top of the cartridge for damage. Replace with a new O-Ring (supplied) and lubricate
well with lubricant supplied. Replace the cartridge by following the procedures outlined in the Cartridge Chang-
Out Instructions on “Cartridge Change-Out” Page.
