MAINTENANCE

Media Replacement
Your Pentair PF6-P Whole House Fluoride Filter requires care and cleaning after a period of 3 years. Replacement media and
instructions can be ordered on-line at Pentair.com/homewater or by calling 877-842-1635.
Sediment Filter
It is recommended that the sediment filter be replaced every 6-9 months depending on the amount of sediment present in the
water supply. If the system has been working properly and the pressure is slowing, it may be time to change the sediment filter.
Check the sediment filter and replace if necessary.

Replacing the Sediment Filter
1. Turn off the main water supply to the sediment filter system and bypass all tanks.
2. Run a faucet (cold water) inside the house to relieve the pressure. Leave the faucet open.
3. Unscrew the blue filter housing clockwise using the supplied filter wrench.
4. Remove the existing sediment filter and discard.
5. Remove the o-rings and wipe the upper groove clean. Lubricate two new o-rings with a coating of clean silicone grease.
Replace both o-rings. Be sure to press the upper o-rings down into the groove with two fingers.
Note
This step is important to ensure the proper filter seal. Make sure the upper o-rings is seated level in the groove. If the
o-ring appears damaged, stretched, or crimped it should be replaced.
6. Place a new sediment filter onto the stand pipe in the blue filter housing.
7. Screw the blue filter housing onto the filter cover hand tight. Lightly snug the housing with the spanner wrench making sure
not to over-tighten.
8. Turn on the main water supply slowly to allow the sediment filter system to fill with water and expel air from lines. Put tanks
back in service (out of bypass).
9. Check for leaks.
