2. Turn sump 1/8th turn to left and lower to remove and at same time remove ceramic cartridge by twisting and gently pulling
downwards. Do not remove cartridge by unscrewing from adaptor (2560). Transfer cartridge and sump to sink and dump
water.
3. To clean ceramic,
(Note: Please wear rubber gloves)
hold cartridge in palm of hand with nozzle up and gently scrub entire
surface with abrasive screen cleaner (811-0) provided under running water. Do not allow water to enter nozzle opening.
DO NOT USE SOAP OR DETERGENTS.
Scrubbing removes trapped particulates along with part of the ceramic.
4. Insert ceramic cartridge with adaptor (2560) back into head boss. Replace sump and turn 1/8 turn to right fully to stop
(lock
position).
Note:
Bottom of sump has guides to contain 1M cartridge. Sump will not lock unless bottom of cartridge is
between
guides.
5. Open saddle valve to start water flow then open faucet until all trapped air has escaped. If air remains in ceramic
housing, turn off faucet and press top vent button until water level rises past sealing point on sump.
Replacing CF2 Cartridge - Every 4 months
1. Close saddle valve by turning clockwise and open faucet to relieve pressure in filter. Press vent buttons on top of both
heads.
2. Remove right sump and lower and at same time remove carbon cartridge by twisting and gently pulling downwards.
Transfer cartridge and sump to sink and dump water.
3. Insert new CF2 cartridge onto head boss and replace and lock sump. Open saddle valve to start water flow.
4. Turn on faucet until trapped air has escaped. If air remains in housing, turn off faucet and press top vent button until water

MAINTENANCE / CAUTIONS
Caution:
If your unit is not used in winter, or will be subject to freezing temperatures, drain unit and remove cartridges from
sumps. Place cartridges in sink or on a paper towel to dry, which will occur in several days.
Note:
Lubricate Head O-rings (2502) at least once a year and when draining for winter. Use food grade silicone grease (i.e.
Dow 111 compound) or any other non petroleum lubricant. Water conditions can be hard on rubber seals. Head O-ring (2502)
replacement at least every two years is recommended to minimize wear and tear and prevent leakage.
Caution:
Due to a limited product service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend
that sumps (#520) be replaced every 5 years. If sumps of your filter unit have been used for more than this period, replace
immediately. Date the bottom of any new sump to indicate next replacement date.
Do Not
clean housing with organic solvents such as those found in sprays for cleaning products or insecticides as these may
cause cracking or crazing and lead to failure and leakage.
Protect filter
from direct sunlight. Not intended for outdoor use.
Note:
For cold water use only.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Solution
1. Sump is difficult to remove
- Unit may still be under pressure. Close saddle valve and
open faucet to relieve pressure.
- Head O-ring may be stuck. To break the seal, push up on
the sump before turning to unlock.
2. Leak at Head O-ring
- O-ring may be dry or cracked due to age. Remove sump,
cartridge and O-ring. Lubricate O-ring with food grade
Silicone (i.e. Dow 111 Compound) or non petroleum
lubricant and reinstall. If seal still leaks, replace it.
3. Leak at Vent Button
- Vent O-ring is not seating properly or is dry or cracked.
Press vent button several times to re-seat vent o-ring.
If O-ring still leaking, contact Envirogard for vent O-ring
replacement kit.
4. Flow rate is very slow after installation of unit
- Call Envirogard to review installation procedure.
