FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
The contaminants or other substances reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all user’s water.
Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of water used. We recommend you change your filer as pre-
scribed by the filter documentation. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a drop in water pressure.
You can use a variety of filters with these housings: AP810, AP811, AP814, AP810-2, AP811-2 and AP814-2 for sedi-
ment and rust; AP817, AP817-2 for Sediment, Chlorine Taste & Odor.
