For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon
pre-filters must be changed when a 15-20% drop in pressure is observed OR at least 6
month intervals. If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the pre-filters
may require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and extended
membrane life.
Sediment Pre-Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
1.0-micron MicroTec™ Sediment Filter (SF-MT-1-10), Filter Wrench
Procedure:
1.
Turn off water supply to the system.
2.
Using the provided filter wrench, remove the first housing on the left. Unscrew it
counterclockwise as viewed from the bottom
3.
Remove the old filter and discard.
4.
Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water and a
few teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean hot water.
5.
Install the new pre-filter onto the round port in the head of the housing.
Screw the housing back onto the assembly, and hand tighten
only
.
NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tightening will
damage housings and void your warranty.
6.
Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.
For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon pre-
filters must be changed when a 15-20% drop in pressure is observed OR at least 6-month
intervals. When chlorine breakthrough greater than 0.1 ppm occurs in the yellow concen-
trate line, test for chlorine breakthrough by collecting a 10 ml sample of the concentrate
from the yellow tubing and test the chlorine concentration using test kit TK-CL-25. If the
chlorine concentration is above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon pre-filter.
Carbon Block Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
1.0 micron Carbon Block Filter (CF-1-10), Filter Wrench, Chlorine Test
Kit (TK-CL-25)
Procedure:
1.
Perform steps 1-5 listed above
2.
Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.
