Owner's Manual

Installation Checklist
Have the min.-max. water temperature and pressure been
checked?
Has the filter system been installed away from heavy traffic
areas?
Is the system installed securely to the mounting surface?
Has the water supply line been checked for suitability? (Refer
to Water Service section, page 7).
Have the water supply lines been securely installed into the
inlet/outlet ports?
Start-Up Procedure
Turn on the incoming water supply.
Check for leaks. If the connections are leaking, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual (page 11) to reinstall.
NOTE: System should be flushed for 2 minutes to remove trapped
air and carbon fines (5 minutes for AR-Pre).
To set the pressure gauge:
Rotate the red follower needle clockwise until it contacts the black
pressure needle on the low side.
The red follower needle will now record the lowest water pressure
when the filter system is in use.
NOTE: The filter pressure will decrease as the cartridge life decreases.
Section 3
Routine Maintenance
ArcticPure
®
cartridges will need to be changed for one or more of
the following reasons:
The filter has trapped water-borne sediment and the water
flow has stopped or water pressure through the filter has
dropped below 20 psi.
The maximum life of the carbon filter has been reached and
the filter will no longer reduce chlorine to acceptable levels.
The scale inhibitor has been completely dissolved and hard
scale build-up may accelerate.
It is recommended that ArcticPure
®
filter cartridges be changed out:
Every 6 months or when water pressure through the system
drops below 20 psi, whichever occurs first.
To change the filter:
1. Rotate the cartridge 1/4 turn to the left. The cartridge should
easily release. Dispose of used cartridge.
2. Remove the protective cap from the cartridge.
3. Inspect the cartridge and o-rings for damage. See Replacement
Parts list if replacement is required.
4. Lubricate o-rings with food grade lubricant.
5. With the product label facing to the left, insert the cartridge
into the filter head. Rotate 1/4 turn to the right to secure.
Product label will face forward.
ArcticPure
®
systems are equipped with internal shut-off valves.
It is not necessary to shut off the incoming water supply
during cartridge changeout.
DO NOT use petroleum jelly.
