Filter Change Instructions
Pre-Filters Change
1. You will need a clean cloth, dish soap, and appropriate Sediment, GAC, and
Carbon Block Filters. (We also recommend a bucket or bin large enough for the
system to sit in. The system will release water when it is disassembled.)
2. Turn off the Cold Water Supply connected to the RO System, the Feed Water
Adapter Valve, and the Tank Valve. Then open the RO Faucet handle to release
pressure, close handle when the flow of water stops.
3. Place the RO System in the bucket and unscrew the 3 Pre Filter Housings
using the Filter Housing Wrench. Remove old filters and dispose of them.
RO Membrane Change
1. Open the RO Membrane Housing by unscrewing the cap. Pull out the
RO Membrane with a pair of pliers. Be sure to note which side is the front
and which side is the back of the membrane.
2. Wash out the RO Membrane Housing. Install the new RO Membrane in the Housing in the correct direction you noted
earlier. Make sure to push the Membrane in firmly, then close the Housing by tightening the cap.
PAC Change
1. Now disconnect the Stem Elbow and Stem Tee from the sides of the
Inline Carbon Filter.
2. Note the orientation of the PAC old filter, install the new filter in the same orientation. Remove the old filter from the
holding clips and discard. Next, insert the new filter into the holding clips and connect the Stem Elbow and Stem Tee to
the new Inline Carbon Filter.
System Restart
1. Fully open the Feed Water Adapter Valve, Cold Water Supply, and the Tank Valve.
2. Open the RO Faucet handle and fully empty the tank before turning the Faucet handle off.
3. Let the system refill with water (this takes 2-4 hours). You can open the RO Faucet briefly to release any air trapped
inside the system while it’s filling. (Be sure to check for new leaks during the first 24 hours after restarting)
4. After the Water Storage Tank has filled drain the entire system by opening the RO Faucet until the water flow is
reduced to a slow trickle. Then close the Faucet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 three times to fully flush the system (6-9 hours)
NOTE! If the RO System is connected to a refrigerator do not drain the system through the refrigerator water
dispenser. The excess carbon fines from the new carbon filter will clog the internal fridge filter.
4. Wash the Pre Filter Housings with dish soap then proceed to rinse until all soap is removed.
5. Ensure that your hands are washed clean before unwrapping the new filters. After unwrapping, place the new filters
inside their correct housings. Make sure the O-Rings are in their proper locations.
6. Tighten the Pre Filter Housings using the Filter Housing Wrench. Do not overtighten.
