• Close the kitchen faucets and either turn on your
fresh water pump or your city water supply. Check
for leaks at the filter housing. Tighten if necessary.
Open the kitchen faucet and allow water to flow for
ten minutes. Your WaterPur™ system is now ready
to deliver fresh-tasting, filtered water to all of the
faucets in your RV.
To winterize your RV's water system, remove The
WaterPur™ cartridge from the housing and follow manu-
facturer's directions for de-winterizing, then replace The
WaterPur™ cartridge. The cartridge should be replaced
every 12 months or 10,000 gallons, whichever comes
first.
An easy way to remember to do this is to replace the
cartridge when you de-winterize in the spring. Replace

Inc. dealer.
Operational Note: The WaterPur™ cartridge is not to be
autoclaved or steam sterilized. Use the WaterPur™ car-
tridge with microbiologically safe water. Activated carbon
filters are not designed to kill or remove bacteria or
viruses. Actual results obtained will vary with various
combinations of organic contaminants, changes in pH or
other conditions encountered in actual use. All informa-
tion presented is based on data believed to be reliable. It
is offered for evaluation and verification, but is not to be
considered a warranty of any kind. The contaminants
removed by The WaterPur™ cartridge are not necessar-
ily in your water. Some jurisdictions tax, regulate, or
restrict devices making health related or aesthetic
claims. WaterPur™ makes no claims in those
jurisdictions.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Description:
The WaterPur™ system is a Household Class, Group 2,
water filtration device designed for installation in recre-
ational vehicles. It has a micron rating of 1 micron, a
capacity of 10,000 gallons of chlorine removal at 2.5 gal-
lons per minute. This capacity was determined under
WQA Standard S-200 Test Conditions and may vary with
local water characteristics.
The cartridge consists of activated carbon particles fused
into a uniform block with enhanced absorptive capacity
and efficiency. The cartridge flows in a radial outside-to
inside direction providing increased dirt capacity and low
pressure drop (8 psid @ 1 gpm service flow, maximum
differential pressure of 100 psid and a collapse pressure
of 200 psid).
Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, the
extruded carbon will not channel or bypass due to the
extreme uniformity of its extruded activated carbon core.
Service life is greatly extended by a layer of 15 micron
polypropylene spun-bonded prefiltration medium and a
second layer of 5 micron polypropylene melt blown filter
medium.
Maximum cartridge operating pressure is 125 psid and
maximum operating temperature is 1250° F. Minimum
operating temperature is 400° F. The housing and car-
tridge are constructed of 100% NSF listed materials.
