Maintenance and Troubleshooting

If for any reason the filter element does not clean completely during the normal Twist to Clean
operation, manual cleaning may be needed. In this case, remove the bowl and clean the element with
a soft brush, brushing and running water across element.
Caution:
If the filter bowl is to be removed, all water flow must be shut off going to the filter.

Safety Notes:

Despite the ease of installation and operation of the LAKOS TWIST
precautions should be taken.
1. Lubricate "O" rings with NSF approved silicon grease only - Dow 111 is recommended.
2. Do not overtighten the threaded connections. Do not tighten more than a 1/4 turn past finger
tight. Hand tighten the bowl, do not use tools.
3. Do not use wrenches on plastic filter parts. Use of tools on filter will void warranty.
4. For threaded connections, use the Teflon™ tape sealant provided with product.
5. Filter components that have "O" rings do not require thread sealant.
6. Remove clear bowl if the filter is to be installed using any solvent welding. This will prevent
solvent damage to the clear bowl.
7. This filter is designed for use with water only. Other chemicals or components can damage the
filter components. Evaluate all chemicals for proper usage with the filter.
8. Protect unit from freezing, as you would with any other water supply lines.
9. Follow all local and state codes, laws, and regulations when installing any filter.
