If there are leaks between on the faucet for filtered water and the 1/4” tubing connection:
To release pressure, turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system.
Loosen and remove the compression nut on the faucet for filtered water stem. Check the tubing to ensure it is
cut squarely. Ensure the tubing is placed firmly into the end of the faucet stem, retighten the compression nut
securely by hand and tighten ½ turn with an adjustable wrench. If leaking continues, remove the compression
nut and apply plumber’s tape to the faucet for filtered water stem and re-install the compression nut.
Turn the cold water shut-off valve back on and turn on the faucet for filtered water.
If leaks continue, please contact Customer Support.
Cartridge Replacement
1. Turn off the cold water shut-off valve to the filter system.

extended flanges on top of cartridge are fully engaged into the system head.
6. Turn each cartridge counter-clockwise until it stops.
