Filter Cartridge Installation / Replacement
CAUTION: Never remove the sump with water
pressure in the filter.
1. Close the nearest shutoff valve on the water supply to
the filter. To relieve pressure in the filter, open the fil
tered water faucet.
2. Turn the sump off of the filter head, to the left. Be
careful, as the sump is full of water. Do not lose the
large o-ring seal.
NOTE: A special wrench is included for removing the
sump. See the parts list on page 10. Use only the
included wrench on the sump (or loosen and tighten the
sump by hand).
3. If replacing the filter cartridge, remove used cartridge
from sump and use warm, soapy water to clean sump.
4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge
and, with clean or gloved hands, insert the filter car
tridge into the sump. Some cartridges fit turned either
way, while others fit only one way. Check the car
tridge to see if orientation is indicated.
5. When changing filter, lightly lubricate the o-ring seal
in the sump with silicone grease. Be sure the o-ring is
fully seated in the groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head, and align the cen
ter hole in the cartridge with the protrusion on the
bottom of the head.
NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head by
hand, you may have the cartridge in upside down or
misaligned. Take the cartridge out and check for correct
orientation.
7. Being careful not to overtighten or cross-thread, turn
the sump to the right onto the filter head and tighten
securely by hand. Make sure to check for leaks, as
described below.
8. Open the filtered water faucet. Slowly open the water
supply shutoff valve and allow the filter housing to
fill. Close the filtered water faucet.

9. Check for leaks between the sump and the head.
Leaks may not be immediately visible. Check periodi
cally for the next 24 hours.
NOTE: If a leak occurs, turn off the water supply and
open the filtered water faucet to depressurize the filter.
Disassemble the filter and check the o-ring and sealing
surface for cuts, flat spots, or foreign material. Clean the
o-ring and lubricate with silicone grease. Carefully press
o-ring into the groove in the sump.
10. If using a Taste and Odor Cartridge: A taste and
odor cartridge contains activated carbon, a black
powder. After the new cartridge is installed, open
the filtered water faucet and allow carbon particles to
purge from the cartridge. Close the faucet when you
no longer see "fines" (discoloration) in the filtered
water, or after approximately 2-3 minutes.
