CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT:
A Carbon Filter will usually last 4-6 months, depending on the chlorine (or
chloramine) content of your tap water. The best way to determine when
your Carbon Block Prefilter needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.
Any chlorine level above 0.1 ppm will cause damage to the membrane
and indicates that the carbon block filter must be changed. To test for
chlorine breakthrough , collect a 10 ml sample of the concentrate from
the yellow tubing and test the chlorine concentration using test kit TK-CL-
5-KIT. If the chlorine concentration is above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon
prefilter.
NOTE:
A drop in the system’s production is, in most cases, an indication
that the carbon filter has become saturated with contaminants. If
the carbon becomes plugged with sediment, it will no longer be
able to remove chlorine.
Carbon Block Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
5 micron Carbon Block Filter (ELIM-IL-CB-12),
