6. Remove foil on top of new replacement cartridges. Install
new cartridges into the manifold by turning to the right
about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the
cartridges stop. DO NOT OVERTIGhTEN. The cartridges will
rise up as they are turned.
NOTE: The prefilter and postfilter are identical. You may
install either filter in the prefilter or postfilter position. The
reverse osmosis cartridge is installed in the center position.

four hours). Check for leaks.
8. Remove the battery tray and replace the battery, positive
"+" side up, to reset timer and monitor function in faucet

faucet ON and fill and empty the storage tank two (2)
times. If the membrane cartridge is replaced, fill and
empty the storage tank a total of four (4) times. (This will
remove the food-grade preservatives contained in new
membranes. This preservative will give product water an
unpleasant taste and odor.)

NOTE: System should be sanitized when replacing the
prefilter and postfilter cartridge or the Reverse Osmosis
cartridge. Follow the sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis system
