Filter Replacement:
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.
Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of
water used. We recommend you change the WHCF-GD05 fil-
ter every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there
is a drop in water pressure.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quali-
ty without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001
Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions:
NOTE:
Before changing cartridge, turn off or bypass incom-
ing water supply. Place a bucket under filter to catch the small
amount of water that will run out after housing removal.
1. Shut off water by turning valve on filter head to the “OFF” or
“BYPASS” position.
2. Unscrew housing and remove old cartridge. Wash housing
thoroughly with mild soap and water.
3. Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge is
seated in the housing before tightening onto head.
4. Use filter wrench to fully seat the cartridge. Tighten to make a
water tight seal.
5. Turn on water by turning valve on filter head to the “FILTER”
position. If any leaks appear, tighten housing as needed.
6. Flush system for five (5) minutes.
Troubleshooting Guide
Water Leaks at Fittings:
Tighten slightly more until leak stops.
Water leaks at connections:
Refer to section “Using Push-In Fittings.”
Push pipe in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off
water at the incoming valve and remove water line by pushing
in on the connector collar while pulling the pipe away. Inspect
pipe for cracks and scratches. If pipe is cracked or scratched,
simply cut that portion away and reinsert pipe into fitting.
