The EWS Series machine model CWL-1354-HF uses the Replacement Kit Code: POE-5. To replace the filter:
1. Turn off water and disconnect lines. 2. Remove the control valve by turning it counterclockwise. 3. Remove the stainless steel tank cover (if present). 4. Tip over the tank and remove the old media (can be messy). 5. Pull out and discard the old riser manifold and ICNs. 6. Clean and disinfect the tank interior, valve, and connections. 7. Cap the new ICN riser manifold to keep media out. 8. Load new GAC replacement media.
Use POE-5-T if a complete tank with kit is preferred.

All Units - Start-Up Procedures 4.2-22 STEP 4: BACKWASHING AND FLUSHING THE SYSTEM The purpose of the backwash and flush procedure (similar to the most simple sink filter units) is to remove media dust and fines from the system instead of going into the home and to prepare the system for usage. There will be the occassional fleck or flake, however following this procedure will greatly reduce this issue.

ACTION: Allow system to go into rapid rinse (it’s another backwash cycle). This cycle will last for 9 minutes. Display (3 - - 9) will count down until rapid rinse cycle is finished.
4.2-24 ADJUSTING THE BACKWASH SETTINGS Before beginning, make sure Service indicator light is lit. If the Indicator is flashing the automatic backwash is set to begin that day. You must simply advance the current time by pressing the “Up” Button until the system goes into backwash.
