TROUBLESHOOTING
Water leaks at fittings:
Slowly tighten until leak stops.
Water leaks at connections:
Push pipe in as far as it will go. If leaking
continues, shut off water and remove
water line by pushing in on connector
collar while pulling the pipe away. Inspect
pipe. If pipe is cracked or scratched, cut
off the end as straight as possible and
reinsert new pipe end into fitting.
CLEANING:
The exterior of your filtration system
can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
Rinse well with fresh, clean water. Never
use chemical cleaning products on the
system’s exterior surface as they may
damage the housing.
TIPS
Before changing filter, turn off water supply.
Place a bucket under filtration system to catch
the small amount of water that will run out after
housing removal. If non-A. O. Smith brand filter is
used, installer must ensure the replacement filter
is appropriate.
Hand-tighten filter housing until
snug. If necessary, tighten further
with wrench to seal properly.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
