Troubleshooting
NOTE: If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on system, turn off water supply. Call
our Technical Support Department at 1-800-721-9243.
Leaks:
...between head and cartridge
Turn off the water supply to the filter and dispense water from the refrigerator
door or T-Flush valve until water and airflow stops.
Remove cartridge and inspect o-rings to make sure they are in place and clean.
Install cartridge and turn on water supply. If it still leaks, contact Technical
Support at 1-800-721-9243 M-F 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM CST. Turn off icemaker if
filtered water goes to icemaker.
...from fittings
Relieve pressure by turning off water supply to the filter and dispense water through
the refrigerator door or T-Flush valve until water and airflow stops. Press in the gray
collar around the fitting while pulling the tubing with the other hand. Check if tubing is
cut squarely or scratched. If tubing is scratched or uneven, cut off 1/2” to 5/8” and
re-install tubing per step 3 of installation instructions. Open the water supply valve. If
the leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on the unit, turn off the water supply and
icemaker, then call Technical Support at 1-800-721-9243. If the fitting does not leak,
turn on the icemaker.
Performance Data
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems
certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. Filter must be maintained
according to manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.
Model IC-EZ
Important Notice: Read this performance data and compare the capabilities of this
system with your actual water treatment needs. It is recommended that, before
installing a water treatment system, you have your water supply tested to determine
your actual water treatment needs.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the reduction of the
substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering
the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for
water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 and 53.
