FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT
FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
This Reo-Pure System includes two pre-filter cartridges: the 5-
micron sediment pre-filter cartridge that collects sediment, and
the carbon block pre-filter cartridge that reduces undesirable
tastes, odor and chlorine.
NOTE: The sediment cartridge and the carbon block
cartridge have been packaged separately and will need to
be installed prior to start-up.
1.
Remove the filter cartridges from their packaging.
2.
Remove the filter sumps by turning clockwise.
3.
Place the sediment cartridge over the standpipe in
bottom of the filter sump for the Sediment Pre-
Filter, and place the carbon block cartridge over the
standpipe in bottom of the sump for the Carbon Pre-
Filter. (See diagram at
right)
Replace the filter sumps on the filter housing
caps,
4.
making sure that the sediment filter is positioned
below the Sediment Pre-Filter label, and the carbon
block filter is positioned below the Carbon Pre-
Filter label. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: The membrane element(s) have been installed in
the system during the final testing procedures, unless other
arrangements have been made with the manufacturer.
CAUTION – It is important that the o-ring
be properly seated each time the filter
housing is reassembled or removed. Use
only food grade silicone or glycerin to
lubricate the o-rings. Do not use a
petroleum-based product such as Vaseline.
CHANGING FILTER CARTRIDGES
Filter cartridges have a limited service life and should be
replaced if you experience noticeable changes in product
water taste, color, odor, or flow rate. On average, filter
cartridges should be replaced about every 3-6 months.
Your Reo-Pure System is equipped with pre-filter inlet and
pre-filter outlet pressure gauges. An increase in the pressure
difference of 10-12 PSI between the two gauges is an
indication that the filter cartridge may need to be replaced.
1.
Turn OFF the feed water supply. The Reo-Pure
System will shut down.
2.
Relieve all the pressure from the system by opening
the manual flush valve and pressing the pressure
relief button. If your system is equipped with the
Automatic Timed Flush feature, press the pressure
relief button while the system pressure gradually
decreases.
3.
Disconnect the main power supply
IMPORTANT: Before performing any maintenance on
your Reo-Pure System, always disconnect the power
supply!
4.
Remove the filter sumps by turning clockwise.
Locate and remove the large o-rings, then wipe them
clean of lubricant and set aside. It is common for the
o-ring to lift out of the sump and stick to the cap. If
the o-ring appears to be damaged or crimped, it
should be replaced.
5.
Remove and discard the used filter cartridges.
6.
Rinse out the bottom of each sump and fill about 1/3
full of water. Add about two tablespoons of bleach
and scrub the cap and housing with a non-abrasive
cloth. Observe the precautions printed on the bleach
container. Rinse thoroughly.
7.
Lubricate o-rings with a food grade silicone or
glycerin. Place o-rings back into the groove in the
sumps and smooth into place with your fingers. This
step is important to ensure a proper watertight seal.
8.
Place the sediment cartridge over the standpipe in
bottom of the filter sump for the Sediment Pre-
Filter, and place the carbon block cartridge over the
standpipe in bottom of the filter sump for the Carbon
Pre-Filter (See diagram above).
