Cartridge Change:
It is recommended to change the filter cartridges every six months (or earlier). A
gradual drop in water pressure after the filtration device is an accurate method of
determining that the pre-filter cartridges are nearing the end of their useful life!
To change the cartridges, please follow the following procedures:
Note:
Prior to performing any work on the whole home system,
ALWAYS
DISCONNECT THE pOwER SUppLy FIRST
. As a small amount of water may leak
from the cartridges during this procedure, please place a small bucket under the
system to catch any water.
Use only genuine Advanced Water Products replacement cartridges such as;
10“ filter housings
• one sediment cartridge – CMB-510-HF
• one taste and odour cartridge – C2-01
20“ filter housings
• one sediment cartridge – CMB-520-HF
• one taste and odour cartridge – C2-02
Cartridges other than genuine AWP replacement cartridges may lead to reduced
performance levels and may impact the structural integrity of the unit. All warranties
will become null and void with the use of any cartridge other than those specified by
the manufacturer.
1. Shut-off the water flow to the unit, depress pressure relief button on top of the
filter head to relieve pressure in the filter (Figure 5A).
2. Place a bucket or pail under the drain port located on the bottom of the PVC
plumbing at the inlet side of the stainless steel reactor chamber. Remove plug to
drain system.
3. Remove the filter sumps from the unit by turning counter-clockwise until the
sump falls free from the head (be careful as the sumps will be full of water and
they will be heavy) (Figure 5B).
4. Discard the used cartridge and clean the sump housing as required (Figure 5C).
Make sure to thoroughly rinse the sump with water to remove any cleaning
agents. Before installing a new cartridge, please ensure that the o-ring seal is
properly seated on the shoulder at the top of the sump (Figure 5D), if there is any
visible damage on the o-ring please replace it (PN OR-5).
5. Install the new cartridge in the reverse procedure as stated above turning the sump
clockwise until the sump is tight.
DO NOT OVEr TIGHTEN.
Reinstall drain plug
with Teflon
®
tape to prevent leaking. Alternatively, install a ball valve to replace the
PVC drain plug.
6. Plug UV unit into the applicable outlet and power-up the system.
7. Slowly turn on the water supply and allow any air that may now be present to
bleed off by depressing pressure relief button on top of the sump until air is
purged from filter. Now you are ready to return the system to use.
