Maintenance and Servicing
The MPS cartridge incorporated in your Barnstead TII is designed to
prevent scale buildup on the membrane(s). This cartridge must be replaced
when the anti-scalant level is approximately half dissolved. At this point,
the quantity of anti-scalant entering the water is insufficient to effectively
prevent scale accumulation on the membrane(s). Before replacing the MPS
cartridge, ensure that all power and water are disconnected from the unit.
1.  Open the front left door (Figure 5-1).
2.  Remove the MPS cartridge by pressing
the upper and lower thumb buttons on
the quick disconnect fittings.
3.  Remove the MPS cartridge by pulling
the cartridge straight out.
4.  Replace the MPS cartridge by following
the instructions located in the “MPS
Cartridge Installation” section of this
manual.
The carbon filter incorporated in your
Barnstead TII provides a combination of filtration and chlorine removal.
There is a timer built into the Barnstead TII which will alert you when the
carbon requires replacement. When the “Routine Care” light illuminates
the carbon filter may need to be replaced.
To find out the reason for the lit LED, choose MENU, scrolling to the
“Routine Care” screen. Before replacing the carbon filter, ensure that all
power and water are disconnected from the unit.
1.  Open the front left door (Figure 5-1).
2.  Remove the carbon filter by first pressing the upper and lower thumb
buttons on the quick disconnect fittings.
3.  Remove the carbon filter by pulling the cartridge straight out.
4.  Replace the carbon filter by following the instructions located in the
“Carbon Filter Installation” section of this manual.
5.  Reset the carbon timer by following “Timers” section of this manual.
