Maintenance Instructions
Your Whole House Water System requires care and cleaning after a period of time. It is
recommended that the cartridges be replaced every 6 months depending on the
amount of contaminants present in the water supply. If the system has been working
properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the filter cartridge.
Filter Change Instructions
Step 1: Remove the old cartridge
1. Turn off the water supply to the system. Open a nearby faucet to release the
pressure and drain the water.
2. Depress the pressure release button on the top of the filter housing to relieve
system pressure. This will make removing the filter housing easier.
3. Unscrew the housing using the filter wrench included with your system
.
4. Remove and discard the old filter cartridge.
Step 2: Clean the housings
1. Scrub the housing and cap with warm water mixed with about 2 tablespoons of
household bleach using a sponge or soft rag. Wear rubber gloves. Rinse all parts very
thoroughly!
2. Lubricate the O-ring with clean silicone grease if needed. DO NOT USE PETROLEUM
JELLY. Insert the O-ring in filter groove and press into place. Make sure the O-ring is
seated correctly.
Caution:
This step is important to ensure the proper filter seal. Make sure the
O-rings are seated level in the groove. If the O-ring appears damaged, stretched, or
crimped, it should be replaced.
Step 3: Install the new cartridge
1.Remove the new filter packaging and insert the filter cartridges into the housings,
making sure they slip over the standpipe in the bottom of the housing.
2.Align the bottom of the housing into the cap and hand tighten, then use the filter
wrench to fit it snugly. Do not over-tighten.
3.Close any open valves. Turn on the water supply slowly to allow the system to fill
with water. Inspect carefully for leaks. If a leak is found, remove the housing and
inspect the O-ring to ensure that it is seated properly, and then retighten
.
