Replacing the Filter Cartridge
6. Pick up the base and screw the housing tight enough with hand
first. Doing it this way will prevent the O- ring from slipping loose
and causing the filter to leak. Once the filter housing is hand tight,
tighten it an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn with the supplied filter
wrench to prevent any leakage.
7. Place the system on flat surface and turn on water supply. Let
water run for several minutes to flush out normal carbon fines.
Note: Before putting the housing back on, put some petroleum
jelly on the plastic threads. This will make it easier to unscrew
the housing the next time you change your filter cartridge.
1. Turn off water.
2. Unscrew the housing from base by turning it
counterclockwise using the supplied filter
wrench.
Note: If the housing seems stuck, soak base of
the housing for 10 minutes in a mixture of hot
water, and a little vinegar.
3. Remove the old cartridge and discard. At this
point, it is recommended to clean the housing
from inside.
4. Check the O-ring for wear & tear. (The O-ring
rests in a groove 1“ down in the housing – black
rubber ring as shown in the picture).
- If it is worn, replace it.
- If it is in good working condition, lubricate it
with food-grade petroleum jelly to ensure it
lies flat and prevents leaking.
6. Unwrap filter cartridge from the plastic wrap and
place it on the filter base with the side marked
up facing up (see picture on the right). Put the
housing back on.
