How to Replace the Filter

IMPORTANT! Stop water flow prior to filter replacement.
When the digital filter life indicator reaches full or you see the
flickering filter symbol, it is time to replace your filter.
Open the filter housing cover.
– First, slide the cover upwards (figure 1) Then,
slide the cover to the left (figure 2) and remove it.
Remove the expired filter.
– Taking hold of the filter securely with your right hand,
press the filter firmly down against the spring loaded
mechanism (figure1) to disengage the top of the filter
and then pull it toward you (figure2) and up to remove it.
– The upper part of the filter is separated from housing by
pressing firmly down. Once you have engaged the spring
loaded mechanism, you can then easily remove the filter
from the main body by pulling it toward you.
– There will be a gray filter cup at the bottom of the filter.
Remove this piece from the expired filter and reinsert the cup into the base
of the housing.
Insert the new filter into the compartment.
– Ensure the gray filter cup has been reinserted properly into the base.
– Remove the plastic caps covering both ends of the new filter.
– Seat the large opening on the bottom of the filter cartridge onto the base
(with the black o-ring) in the center of the gray filter cup.
– Push the filter down and into the housing compartment ensuring the
opening at the top of the filter is seated properly into the fitting at the top
of the housing.
Check for leakage by running water through your ionizer before replacing
the housing cover.

Flush out the GAC carbon dust.
– The water will initially come out discolored (light to charcoal gray)
due to carbon particulates in the new filter.
This is not harmful and is typical of all GAC filters.
Filter cover
Allow the water to flow for 2–3 minutes in the "Purified" mode
and this will flush all the carbon dust.
Immediately after filter replacement, the water will come out black and
unclear due to the activated carbon particulates in the new filter but will
become clear momentarily. (It is not harmful.)
Reset the filter life indicator.
– Press the "Reset" button located at the top of the filter housing compartment for 2–3
seconds while in standby mode (water not running through the ionizer).
Replace the filter housing cover.
Please replace filter when any one of the flowing occur:
– When severely polluted water has been run through the ionizer and
filter
– Excessive odor in output water and/or severely decreased flow rate
– After prolonged period of inactivity of over 30 days
