Post Carbon Filter Replacement (VRO-5Q only):
The inline post carbon filter has a life expectancy between 6 to 12 months. The inline post carbon filter is
an effective filter in removing any post taste and odor.
1. Turn off the inlet valve.
2. Close the ball valve of the storage tank.
3. Open the RO faucet to release the
pressure in RO system.

Removing the Expired Inline Post Carbon Filter:
1. Remove the blue horseshoe securing the
¼
” blue tubing in the quick connect on the old inline post
carbon filter. Then disconnect the blue tubing by pushing in the collet and pulling out the blue tubing.
2. Repeat the same procedure to remove
¼
” white tubing from other end of the inline post carbon filter.
3. Pull off the filter from the plastic mounting brackets that are attached to the metal bracket.
Installing the New Inline Post Carbon Filter:
1. Remove the outer packaging from the new Inline Post Carbon Filter. Place the filter onto the inline filter
mounting brackets as illustrated on the previous page.
2. Connect the
¼
” blue tubing back into the outlet of the filter. Replace the blue horseshoe to secure the
tubing.
3. Connect the
¼
” white tubing into the inlet of the filter. Replace the blue horseshoe to secure the tubing.
4. Follow steps 7 - 8 of “Periodic System Maintenance” on page 14.
Important: Check air pressure only when the tank is empty of water!
Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from the RO
system. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the valve that is located on the bottom of the tank
covered by a black cap.
1. Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO by turning the inlet valve counter clockwise until it
stops.
2. Open the RO Faucet and allow the water to drain from the tank until it is completely empty.
Tip:
When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the faucet still in the open position, you
may add air to the tank to purge any left over water, this will ensure that the tank is completely
empty.
3. Once all the water in the tank is purged, check the air pressure using an air pressure gauge, it should
read between 5 to 7 psi. (Digital air pressure gauge is recommended). Pump the air into the tank to
meet the spec if necessary.
4. Open the tank ball valve and inlet valve, when the storage tank is full you can enjoy the RO water.
