replacement filters in your system. While other filters may fit, they could compromise the
performance of your system.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure:
1.
Turn off the water supply to the system using your main household water shut-off.
Briefly open a faucet in the home to relieve pressure. Turn the bypass valve on your
media tank to the “off” position as shown. Depress the red pressure release button on
the top of the filter housing cap to allow any remaining pressure inside the housing to
escape.
2.
Unscrew the sump (bottom of the housing) from the cap using the spanner wrench
(included with original purchase of your system).
3.
Locate and remove the large O-ring at the top of the sump. Try not to remove any of
the lubricant from the O-ring. The housing O-ring should be replaced at least once
annually or at each filter change if any damage to the O-ring is noted (kinked,
cracked, stretched, etc.), or if any leakage between the housing cap and the housing
sump cannot be stopped. Put the O-ring in a safe place where it will not get dirty or
otherwise contaminated.

4.
Take out the used filter cartridge and discard it.
5.
Scrub the inside of the sump and underside of the housing cap with dish soap and
warm water using a sponge or soft cloth. Fill the sump 1/3 with water and add about
2 tablespoons of unscented household bleach. Scrub to disinfect (we recommend
that you use rubber gloves).
Rinse all parts thoroughly!
6.
Lubricate the O-ring with food-grade silicon lubricant if needed. Insert O-ring in the
groove at the top of the sump and press into place.
Make sure the O-ring is seated
level in the groove!
7.
Remove the protective plastic wrapping from the new filter cartridge and insert the
cartridge into the housing sump, making sure that it slips over the standpipe in the
bottom of the housing.
8.
Screw the sump onto the housing cap and hand tighten
. Do not use the spanner
wrench and do not over-tighten.
9.
Turn the bypass valve on the media tank back to the service position. Turn on the
water supply slowly to allow the system to fill with water.
Inspect carefully for leaks.
