Installation, Operation & Maintenance Guide

INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGES

Each TI Cartridge uses a triple gasket seal to prevent
water leaks. The cartridges are easily installed into the
TI Module Heads by inserting the cartridge into the head
and twisting to the right.
The TI Module Heads are equipped with a valve that
automatically turns off the water supply to each filter
cartridge when you remove the cartridge. To make the
removal of the filter cartridges easier, the heads and
cartridges can be tilted up as shown below.
Install: Twist right
Remove: Twist left
NOTE: Return new cartridge to down
position after installation.
NOTE: It is important to install the cartridges in
the correct order. Match the cartridge label/color
to the labels that are affixed to the TI Module
Heads. Failure to do so will result in loss of filter
performance and can shorten the lifespan of
the filter.
PREPARING CARTRIDGES FOR USE
IMPORTANT!
Flush Carbon & Membrane cartridges prior to use.
The Carbon cartridge may contain carbon dust that must
be flushed out prior to installing the Membrane.
If it is not rinsed, the carbon dust can plug the Membrane
and shorten it's life.
The Membrane is packaged with a preservative that must
be flushed prior to connecting the Deionization cartridge.
Failure to flush the Membrane will quickly exhaust
the color-changing resin.
Two Flush cartridges have been included to allow
for flushing of the Carbon and Membrane cartridges.
Step 1 – Install the two Flush cartridges on the Membrane
and Deionization heads. Run water through the Sediment
and Carbon cartridge to flush the carbon. Continue to flush
until the water exits clear.

Step 2 – Remove the Flush cartridge on the Membrane
head. Install the Membrane cartridge and flush until
about 30 gallons of filtered water have been produced.
Do not use this water as it contains the Membrane
preservative.
Step 3 – Install the DI cartridge. Unit is ready for use.
