MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
We recommend that you keep replacement cartridges on hand, ready to install as soon as the
monitor indicates that the cartridge in use is exhausted.
SHELF LIFE FOR FILTERS:
PREFILTERS (Sediment and Carbon Block Filters): Prefilters have an infinite shelf life.
REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE (RO): Purchase an RO membrane when needed. If you would
like to keep one on hand, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 year. (Keep in its sealed,
original packaging). You should always see moisture inside the bag. If the membrane dries out,
it will not produce water and any warranty will be voided).
DEIONIZING CARTRIDGES (DI): Replacement DI cartridges are shipped in a Mylar
®
Bag. Keep
them in their sealed, original packaging until use. You can store them for up to 1 year.
SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT:
For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment prefilter must be changed
when the system fails to maintain a minimum inlet pressure of 30 PSI when the system is running.
If your water contains a great deal of sediment, the prefilter may require more frequent changes to
maintain adequate production rate and extended membrane life.
Materials Required:
0.2 micron ZetaZorb
®
Sediment Filter (SF-ZZ-0.2-20), Filter Wrench.
NOTE:
Failure to use a ZetaZorb
®
sediment filter as the replacement will void the system’s warranty.
Procedure: (FIRST FILTER ON LEFT)
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 prefilter into 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.
