Filter Change Instructions
1. For well water—shock chlorinate your well and pipes prior to removing filters.
2. Turn off the water supply to the system. Depress the red pressure release button on the top of
the filter housing cap to relieve system pressure. If your system was not equipped with a
pressure relief valve, leave open a nearby faucet. This will make removing the filter housing
possible.
3. Unscrew the housing (sump) from the cap using the filter wrench included with your system, or
a commercially available "strap" type wrench. Remove and discard old filter cartridge.
4. Scrub the sump and cap with warm water mixed with about 2 tablespoons of household bleach
using a sponge or soft rag. Wear rubber gloves.
5. A) Pour 2 cups of unscented concentrated bleach in each empty sump and close the system to
hand tight and fit snug tight with the wrench. DO NOT over tighten. B) Drain your hot water
heater. C) Open the main water supply to the system. D) Open a faucet at the furthest point
from the system and run water until you smell the chlorine. Flush the toilet. Repeat at each point
of use moving towards the filter system. E) Close the main water supply to the system. F) Open
each housing.
6. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicon grease if needed. DO NOT USE PETROLIUM JELLY.
Insert o-ring in grove and press into place taping the o-ring all the way around. Make sure the o-
ring is seated level. Replace o-ring if damaged or stretched.
7. Remove filter packaging and insert new filter cartridge into the sump, making sure that it slips
over the standpipe in the bottom of the sump.
8. Fit the bottom of the housing (sump) into the cap and hand tighten, then use the filter wrench to
fit snug. Do not over tighten.
9.
Turn on the water supply slowly to allow the system to fill with water. Close any open valves
downstream of the system once water flows and air is purged. Inspect system carefully for
leaks. If a leak is found, first follow the shut off de-pressurization procedure and then remove
the housing to inspect the o-ring to ensure that it is seated properly. Then retighten.
10.
Flush the system by turning on a few cold-water faucets. Allow the water to run until the air and
carbon has been purged. Water may be cloudy initially. New activated carbon filter cartridges
may contain loose carbon and air bubbles after installation.
