Maintaining Your Drinking Water System
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is engineered to take the guesswork out of
quality water. It will tell you when routine maintenance needs to be performed to
keep your drinking water system working properly.

Filter Changes

If you open your tap and don't get any water, or only get a small stream,
it could mean one of two things: your storage tank is out of water and the
drinking water system is making more, or your MACguard Filter has shut off.
Check your system's PureMometer to see if the MACguard Filter has shut off.
Periodically checking the PureMometer could alert you of upcoming filter
shutdown before it happens. If the MACguard Filter has not shut off, wait an
hour or two and try to draw water from the faucet again.
How long a MACguard Filter cartridge will last depends on your drinking water
usage. It could last anywhere from a few months to a few years. An average
family of four with average drinking water use can expect the cartridge to
last approximately nine months to one year. Kinetico recommends annual
cartridge replacements even if your system has not shut off.
When your MACguard Filter does shut off, we recommend you call your local,
authorized Kinetico dealer. They will change your cartridges, completely
sanitize your system, check your water and make sure your system is operating
properly. If you choose to install your new cartridges yourself, follow the
instructions carefully. Never attempt to remove the prefilter or postfilter
cartridges without first depressurizing the system. Be sure to completely
sanitize your system by following the instructions provided in the "Sanitization
Procedure" section of this owner's manual to prevent contamination from
human contact.
