Changing the Filter Cartridge
1. Turn off the water ow to the cartridges at the valve, tank or tap.
2. Release the pressure by opening a tap downstream, or use the pressure relief
valve that is available in the lid of the lter housings.
3. Unscrew the bottom housing from the lid* and remove the used cartridge and
discard or wash. The inside of the lter housing and the lid should be checked for
cleanliness - they will usually need to be cleaned or sanitised - use hot water and
dishwashing liquid, thoroughly scrub all surfaces and then rinse.
4. Check that the o-ring is in position in the top of the housing base, lubricate with
a coating of white petroleum jelly (Vaseline), place the o-ring into the groove and
with two ngers wipe the o-ring down into the groove. Do not wipe the o-ring clean
of lubricant after it has been properly seated in the groove because the lubricant
prevents “crawling” of the o-ring during the tightening of the lid and thus prevents
water leaks.
5. Screw the housing onto the lid and hand tighten. Open the tap downstream of the
lter and then open the inlet valve.
*The cartridge spanner supplied with the unit may help if the housing is tight.
CAUTION: The housing must be protected against freezing. Failure to do so
may result in cracking of the housing and water leakage.
WARNING: CAREFULLY AND GENTLY TIGHTEN WITH HOUSING SPANNER
as the bowl should only be tightened enough to avoid water leaking during
operation.
WARNING: If the water system is not going to be used for extended periods,
the cartridge should be removed from the housing and replaced with a new or
cleaned cartridge when the system is used again.
IMPORTANT: When opening the lter housing to install or change the
cartridge (element) it is common for the o-ring seal to lift out of the groove
and, at times, it may even stick to the cap.
