CARE AND CLEANING

For the protection of your filter, do not store open containers of 
oils, alcohols, insecticide, polishes, cleaning fluids or other common 

household chemicals near your filter installation. To maintain the 

clear, bright appearance of the filter bowl, clean only with mild 

solution of unscented dishwashing detergent. Do not clean with 

soap, strong or scented detergents, chemical cleansers or abrasives.

Check the system and installation for compliance with your state 
and local laws and regulations. For cold water use only.

     

WARNING:

 Do not use with water that is microbiologically 

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 

or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be 

used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

CARTRIDGE CHANGE

Replace filter cartridges when they become excessively dirty, 

when the 

pressure gauge after the filter indicates extremely low 

pressure during water flow, or when changes in taste and odor 

are detected.

1.

  Turn off inlet and outlet water valves and press the pressure 

 

relief valve.

2.

  Unscrew the bowl from the filter head, remove the used 

 

cartridge and empty the water from the bowl.

3.

  If the o-ring on the bowl feels dry, lubricate it with a high 

 

quality silicone grease.

4.

  Clean the bowl with a mild solution of unscented dishwashing 

 

detergent. DO NOT use soap, strong or scented detergents, 

 

chemical cleansers or abrasives.

5.

  Position the replacement cartridge on the guide seat in the 

 

bottom of the bowl. Then firmly screw the bowl into the 

 

head by hand. DO NOT USE A HOUSING WRENCH. Flush 

 

cartridge for 5 minutes to remove carbon fines before using 

 

the water.

CAUTION:

 

The o-ring provides a water tight seal. Make sure 

the o-ring is properly seated and lubricated.
