Filter Change Instructions
1. For well water—shock chlorinate your well and pipes prior to removing filters.
2. Turn off the water supply to the system. Depress the red pressure release
button on the top of the filter housing cap to relieve system pressure. If your
system was not equipped with a pressure relief valve, leave open a nearby
faucet. This will make removing the filter housing possible.
3. Unscrew the housing (sump) from the cap using the filter wrench included with
your system, or a commercially available “strap” type wrench. Remove and
discard old filter cartridge.
4. Scrub the sump and cap with warm water mixed with about 2 tablespoons of
household bleach using a sponge or soft rag. Wear rubber gloves.
5. A) Pour 2 cups of unscented concentrated bleach in each empty sump and
close the system to hand tight and fit snug tight with the wrench. DO NOT over
tighten. B) Drain your hot water heater. C) Open the main water supply to the
system. D) Open a faucet at the furthest point from the system and run water
until you smell the chlorine. Flush the toilet. Repeat at each point of use
moving towards the filter system. E) Close the main water supply to the
system. F) Open each housing.
6. Lubricate the o-ring with clean silicon grease . Be sure to use liberal amounts
of grease on the lower oring so that the entire surface is covered. Failure to
do so will cause binding, oring damage, leaks, and difficulties reopening the
housing. DO NOT USE PETROLIUM JELLY. Insert o-ring in grove and press
into place taping the o-ring all the way around. Make sure the o-ring is seated
level. Replace o-ring if damaged or stretched.
7. Remove filter packaging and insert new filter cartridge into the sump, making
sure that it slips over the standpipe in the bottom of the sump.
8. Fit the bottom of the housing (sump) into the cap and hand tighten, then use
the filter wrench to fit snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
9. Turn on the water supply slowly to allow the system to fill with water. Close
any open valves downstream of the system once water flows and air is
