Step 3. Installing/Changing Filter Cartridges
!
AVOID PLUMBING SYSTEM CONTAMINATION BY THOROUGHLY WASHING HANDS
BEFORE LOADING CARTRIDGES AND MEMBRANE ELEMENTS.
1. Turn water supply off by closing shut off valves.
If flow is required when changing filters, open
bypass valve. Relieve pressure inside the filter
housings by pressing down on the red buttons
until pressure reaches zero.
2. Using the wrench supplied, place around the
housing and turn clockwise to loosen housing.
Remove the lower part of the filter housing.
Have a pail nearby, as each housing will be full
of water with a cartridge to be disposed of.
3. Remove the used cartridge and pour out the
water remaining in the filter bowl. Clean the
inside of the bowl with warm, soapy water. Rinse
the inside thoroughly before reassembling.
4. Remove replacement cartridge from its
packaging and place inside the housing,
ensuring the filter is centered. Verify the o-ring is
seated inside the grove on the top of the filter
bowl.
5. Place the filter bowl under the filter cap and
begin to rotate in a counter clockwise direction.
Continue turning until you feel the bowl
tightening. Using only your hands tighten the
bowl to the cap. This should suffice in making a
water proof seal. Use the wrench to gently
tighten the bowl further if there are any leaks
when the water is turned back on.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN HOUSINGS
Repeat for each housing on your filter system.
