When the water flow going through you system slows
significantly, it is time to clean your ceramic cartridge
only.
Cleaned
Section
The fine pores on the ceramic surface have become
blocked by various kinds of sediment. Remember-
what you find on the outside of the ceramic cartridge
is NOT passing through for your consumption.
To clean your ceramic cartridge:
1) Turn off the water valve closest to your system.
2) Flip up the black handle on your WateRx
faucet.
3) If you are also filtering water to your
refrigerator, turn off your icemaker and drain
the water from your convenience center in the
door.
4) Unthread the white canister (containing the
ceramic cartridge) from the black manifold.
The ceramic cartridge will be “snugged” up
into the manifold.
5) Pull the ceramic cartridge down from the
manifold.
6) Take the cartridge to another sink in your
home and scrape off the sediment build-up on
the ceramic with a sharp knife or Scotchbrite.
7) Rinse it off and push it back up into the
manifold with a slight twist to help the O-rings
on the nipple hold the cartridge in place.
8) Cover the ceramic cartridge with the canister
and thread back onto the manifold.
9) Turn your water back on.

If you are cleaning your ceramic cartridge at least six times to
eight times a year, you will find that installing a WateRx prefilter
will keep you from having to clean your cartridge as frequently.
