Instructions / Assembly

Changing Stage-5 Carbon TCR Filter: (should be changed with the membrane every 3-5 years). The new stage-5

carbon filter (FI-ES-TCR-QC) includes a new Tee Fitting on one end. The stage-5 filter is easily replaced by

disconnecting the tubings from the old filters, and connecting the filter.

1) Remove the OLD filter: See Fig. B. Disconnect the output tubing from point H and tubings at point G & F. To remove

the tubing,

Push In and Hold Down on the collet ring square against the fitting. With the collet held in this position the tube can be

removed.

2) Unclip the old filter from the membrane housing and discard the used filter.

3) Sanitize: Use some mild bleach solution to rinse the 2 plastic ports of the Tee fitting and the open port of the new filter. This

is to prevent contamination.

NOTE: Only this filter change needs bleach sanitizing. Do Not apply chlorine/ bleach in any way to Membrane for it will

damage the membrane!

4) Connect New Filter: See Fig. C. Attach the new filter onto the clips. Make sure the “FLOW ” arrow on the filter is

pointing towards the pure water output direction. Reconnect the tank yellow tubing and clear tubing from C4 back to point

G & F on the Tee fitting. Then, connect the output tubing to point H.

NOTE: The QC fittings come with an End Plug that needs

to be removed before the tubing can be connected.

See Fig. D.

5) Check for leaks!

Attach the new filter onto the clips. Make sure the “FLOW ” arrow on the filter is

disconnecting the tubings from the old filters, and connecting the filter.
