Changing the Cartridges

One of the many great features of the Aqua-Cleer Drinking Water System is the ease of changing
out cartridges. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper cartridge replacement.
Removing the old cartridges:
1. Turn off inlet feed water valve.
2. Release each cartridge from manifold by making a counter-clockwise, quarter turn.
3. Pull down to remove cartridge and dispose.
Installing new cartridges:
Note: If your system configuration includes the GAC Pre-filter Cartridge, please
refer to the back page for special flushing instructions.
Note: At this time, do not replace the RO membrane, insert the bypass plug in
its place.
1. Mark each cartridge with an install date in the space provided on cartridge label.
2. Match the inlet and outlet valve on the cartridge to corresponding port within
the manifold and insert the cartridge. (Figure 1)
3. Making a clockwise, quarter turn, twist the cartridge into locked position.
(Figure 2)
4. To replace the polishing filter, the tubing needs to be removed from the old filter.
Check both ends of 3/8" tubing for any scratches. If scratches exist, please use
a utility knife and make a straight cut to remove any imperfections on tubing.
(Figure 3) Connect the tubing to the new polishing filter with the "FLOW" arrow
pointed in the direction of the faucet.
Note: The activated carbon polishing filter needs a 10 minute flush to remove
carbon dust.
5. Make sure all cartridges are locked in place, and close tank valve, then turn back on the inlet water valve.
• Run water for 10 minutes through the faucet in order to flush pre-filters and carbon post-filter.
• Check system thoroughly for leaks.
6. Reinstall the RO membrane, turn on tank valve. Wait for RO tank to refill before product water is available.
