SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT:
For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon
prefilters 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 prefilters may require
more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and extended membrane life.
Sediment Prefilter Replacement
Materials Required:
0.5 micron MicroTec™ Sediment Filter (SF-MT-0.5-10), 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 by
rotating it to the left.
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 prefilter 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.
CARBON BLOCK PREFILTER REPLACEMENT:
For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon
prefilters must be changed when a 15 -20% drop in pressure is observed OR at 6-month
iintervals. 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-10-KIT. If the
chlorine concentration is above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon prefilters.
Carbon Block Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
(2) Pentek ChlorPlus Carbon Block Filters (CF- CR-1-10), Filter Wrench,
Chlorine Test Kit (TK-CL-10-KIT)
Procedure:
1.
Perform steps 1-5 listed above for each carbon block filter.
2.
Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.
