4. Slowly turn on the water supply (A) to allow filter to fill with water, then press the red pressure-relief
button (B) on top of filter to release trapped air. Check for leaks before leaving installation.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation,
flush the cartridge for 5 minutes to remove the fines before using the water. It is recommended that
you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
5. NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect Fittings.
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require that you disconnect the tubing from
the filter cap; however, tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the fittings if necessary. First,
turn off the water supply to the filter and open faucet to drain the pipes. Then simply depress the gray
collar (A) around the inlet fitting of the housing while pulling the tubing (B) with your other hand.
Repeat for the outlet fitting.
Filter Cartridge Replacement

spills during removal of the filter cartridge.
(2) Depress red pressure-relief button, then
(3) unscrew and remove bottom of filter housing (See Fig. A.)
NOTE: If turning off water supply to filter will also turn off water supply to the rest of the home, be
sure to fill a bucket of water first to allow you to clean housing after it has been removed.
B. Locate and remove large o-ring (1), wipe clean of lubricant, and set aside. Discard used filter cartridge
(2). Rinse out bottom of filter housing and fill
scrub bottom of housing with nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Lubricate o-ring with
clean silicone grease. Insert o-ring in groove and press into place.
NOTE: This step is important to ensure a proper housing seal. Make certain the o-ring is seated level in
the groove.
Insert new filter cartridge in bottom of housing. Cartridges with one gasket should be inserted with
the gasketed end toward the threads of the housing (gasketed end would point upwards if housing is
mounted as shown in Fig. B).
C. (1) Screw bottom of housing onto the cap and hand-tighten. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
(2) Slowly turn on the water supply to allow filter to fill with water, then
(3) press the red pressure-relief button on top of filter to release trapped air. Check for leaks before
leaving installation.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation,
flush the cartridge for 5 minutes to remove the fines before using the water. It is recommended that
you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
