IMPORTANT
If you are unsure about installing your WATTS water filter, contact a
WATTS representative or consult a professional plumber.
Replacement instructions:
Step 1: Place a towel under the filter
module to catch any excess water
that may drip out from the filters
during the changeover.
Step 2: To remove a filter cartridge:
Push and hold the button on the
valve head above the filter. Twist
filter counter-clockwise for about
45 degree while pulling downward
(from the head) Release button and
discard old filter.
Step 3: To install a filter cartridge:
Remove the seal cap and insert the
cartridge into the filter head, push
upward and twist the filter clock-
wise for about 45 degree until you
hear an audible "click" (the button
does not need to be pressed to
install new filters).
Step 4: Turn faucet handle to the
open position to start the flow
of water through the unit. Run 3
gallons of water through the unit in
order to flush out the normal black
carbon fines (it will "sputter" until
the air is purged out) from the unit.
A container with a known volume
can be filled to determine how
much water has flushed through
the system. Initially, the water
may appear cloudy which is due
to tiny air bubbles and it will clear
up shortly. Close the faucet when
finished.
Step 5: Check for leaks. If you have
any leaks, shut off the water supply
to your system, tighten any fittings /
housings then turn the water supply
back on. Check frequently over the
next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are
present. If you have any questions,
please call our retail customer
service at (888)321-0500.
