HOW TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGES
1.
Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after cleaning your filter.
2.
Make certain that the water is turned off and open tap to relieve pressure in
system. Note: There will still be water in the filter sump(s).
3.
Over the sink, unscrew the sumps from their bases by turning counter-
clockwise. (Use the spanner wrench provided to gently loosen housing then
manually remove.) Replace cartridges one at a time to avoid confusion.
4.
Remove spent cartridge(s) and discard. (Cartridges containing KDF® may be
recycled by returning to your dealer or any firm that recycles scrap metal.)
NOTE: When opening filter housing to change cartridge, it is common for
O-ring gasket to lift out of housing and stick to cap.
5.
Rinse out sump(s) and fill 1/3 with water. Add 2 capfuls of bleach and scrub
thoroughly with brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
