NuvoH2O Filter Replacement Instructions
1 Before replacing your NuvoH2O lter, we recommend having a towel on
hand and placing a bucket underneath your lter system.
2 After turning o the water to the system, press and hold the pressure relief valve
at the top of the head to relieve pressure in the lter housing.
Note: It is normal for water and air from the lter housing to escape as the
pressure is released.
3 Using the wrench that came with your system, turn the blue collar clockwise
(to the left) to loosen the housing from the head of the system. Carefully
disconnect the housing body from the head. Remember, the housing will be
heavy and full of water!
4 Remove the spent lter. Place in a sink or water proof container and let excess
water drain from the lter.
5 Clean the inside of the housing with dish soap, ½ teaspoon bleach, and water.
Rinse thoroughly.
6 Remove the plastic shrink wrap from your new lter and insert the lter into
the housing.
7 Inspect the O-ring that seals the housing to the head and ensure that it is
seated properly.
8 Place the housing directly under the head so that the collar may be re-tightened.
Tighten the collar by turning counterclockwise (right). Secure with wrench.
9 Turn the water back on.
10 Check for leaks. If a leak exists, conrm that the bottom collar is tightened
securely to the hood. If leak persists, turn o your water and call customer
support (877-688-6426) for additional troubleshooting steps.
We recommend that every time the lter is replaced or if the carbon
lter system is idle for a prolonged period of time that the system is
ushed thoroughly.
WARNING: Use carbon lters only with potable water. Never use where
water is microbiologically unsafe or of an unknown quality without rst
adequeatly disinfecting the water before and after the lter.

Please read all instructions before beginning installation
1 Turn o the main water supply line leading to proposed installation site. Open all
of your faucets in the house to help drain the water from the lines.
2 To treat the whole house, the NuvoH2O Softener and Filter System should be
installed on the main water supply line at any point past the main shut-o valve
before the pipes branch o in dierent directions. While not required, typically the
homeowner will also choose to locate the NuvoH2O System after the main line
splits to the outside faucets to reduce treatment expenses associated with
treating the outside water.
3 NuvoH2O Softener and Filter functionality requires the correct ow direction;
make sure water supply inlet pipe is aligned to attach to the inlet port on the lter
system. The Carbon Filter treats the water rst and then the water is treated by
the softener.
4 Cut and remove a section of the main water line where the system is to be
installed. Make sure to allot the necessary room for the system and all unions,
ttings, and shut-o valves. It is highly recommended that either a pair of turn-o
valves or a bypass is installed to facilitate future cartridge replacement and service.
