1. Remove the entire filter system from your shower pipe by
turning the chrome swivel collar counter-clockwise (to the
left), as shown in Figure A. Then remove the shower head by
turning the connector counter-clockwise (to the left). Do not
remove the filter cartridge while the filter is still attached to
the shower pipe, this may cause damage to the filter where it
connects to the shower pipe.
2. While holding the upper filter housing firmly, remove the
lower filter cartridge by turning it counter-clockwise (to the
left), as shown in Figure B. This cartridge may be disposed of
with your trash, as it poses no environmental hazards.
3. Unwrap the new replacement cartridge and remove the yel-
low "pull tab" label and the yellow plastic shipping cap from
the top end of the cartridge.
4. After making sure that the upper housing o-ring is still in
place, rub a coating of shampoo on the exposed surface of the
o-ring to ensure a proper seal. Next install the new cartridge
by turning it to the right. Tighten firmly by hand; if this filter is
not tightened firmly it will leak around the seam between the
upper filter housing and the cartridge.
5. Make sure that the white washer is still in place inside the
chrome swivel collar. Re-attach the filter system to your
shower pipe by turning the chrome swivel collar clockwise (to
the right).

6. Before re-attaching the shower head, flush and activate
the filter until water runs clear. Use cold water for the initial
flushing, see "NOTE" below for flushing precaution. After
the water has turned clear, adjust the temperature up to a nor-
mal shower temperature. Notice that there is a slight delay in
temperature adjustment due to the volume of water in the
filter; take this delay into account when making temperature
adjustments.
Make slight adjustments and wait 30 seconds for tem-
perature change. Run water until clear and then turn off and
back on several times. Repeat this procedure until the initial
surge of water is free of discoloration.
NOTE:
The initial surge of water will be discolored due to carbon
fines and may soil your shower stall. It is recommended
that you capture the first 1-2 gallons of water in a bucket or
pitcher. This carbonized water is very beneficial to plants and
the environment and can be discarded in a plant bed or down
the drain.

The aquasana filter cartridge is designed to last 6 months under normal con-
ditions. If you use the filter more than twice each day, take showers longer
than 10 minutes or your city uses surface (lake or river) water, it is recom-
mended that the filter be changed every 3-4 months. Surface water typically
has higher levels of sediment and chlorine and will exhaust the filter media
more rapidly.
