Sediment Pre-Filter Diagnostic
For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sedi-
ment and carbon pre-filters must be changed at least 6-month intervals.**
If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the pre-filters
may require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production
rate and extended membrane life.
Sediment Pre-Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
1-micron MicroTec™ Sediment Filter (SF-MT-1-10),
Filter
Wrench
Procedure:
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2.
Refer to Fig. A (System Diagram). Using the provided filter housing
wrench, remove the first housing from the left. Unscrew it coun-
terclockwise as viewed from the bottom.
3. Remove the old filter and discard.
4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water
and a few teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean
hot
water.
5. Install the new pre-filter into the housing, screw the housing
back onto the assembly, and tighten securely using the supplied
filter
wrench.
6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.
**NOTE: A drop in the system’s production is “in most cases” an indica-
tion that the sediment and/or carbon filter has become saturated with
contaminants and will need to be replaced.

Carbon Block Filter Diagnostic
Replace the Carbon Block Filter at least every 6 months OR when
chlorine breakthrough greater than 0.1 ppm occurs in the yellow con-
centrate line**. To test for chlorine breakthrough , collect a 10 ml
sample of the concentrate from the yellow tubing and test the chlorine
concentration using test kit TK-CL-25. If the chlorine concentration is
above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon pre-filter.
Carbon Block Filter Replacement
Materials Required:
10 micron Carbon Block Filter (CF-10-10),
Filter
Wrench,
Chlorine
Test
Kit
(TK-CL-25)
Procedure:
1. Turn off water supply to the system.
2. Refer to Fig. A (System Diagram). Using the provided filter housing
wrench, remove the second housing from the left.
Unscrew it counterclockwise as viewed from the bottom.
3. Remove the old filter and discard.
4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot
soapy water and a few teaspoons of household bleach.
Rinse well with clean hot water.
5. Install the new carbon block filter, making sure that
the black gaskets on both ends of the filter are firmly
seated in the gasket recesses.
6. Screw the housing back onto the assembly, and tighten
securely using the supplied filter wrench.
7. Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.
**NOTE: A drop in the system’s production is “in most cases” an indica-
tion that the sediment and/or carbon filter has become saturated with
contaminants and will need to be replaced.
