Allow water to run through the DWS for approximately 30 minutes to ush the lter.
Residual carbon dust may initially color the water black.
Flow rate – the water ow rate is slow
The lter is designed to restrict its ow rate when clogged with particulates or other
solid contaminants.
When the water ow rate slows to the point of inconvenience, or at one year of use,
it is time to replace the lter cartridge. If other water sources are on while using the
DWS, turn them off to check if they are affecting the ow rate.
Taste/Odor – miscellaneous
The carbon block lter may have become saturated with the tastes and odors
treated in your drinking water.
To resolve this, change the lter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will low pH or acidic water affect the lter?
No. Mineral components can determine the pH of water, and minerals dissolved in
solution in the water pass through the system unltered.
• pH 7 = neutral
• pH > 7 = alkaline
• pH < 7 = acidic
Does deionized water or soft water have an effect on CB Tech water?
No. Because CB Tech lters do not treat the natural minerals dissolved in water, the
hardness or softness of water has no effect on the resultant ltered CB Tech water.
Can the CB Tech system be connected to an icemaker?
The CB-VOC can be connected to the sink, refrigerator, water dispenser, or icemaker.
Can the CB Tech system be used during an emergency or when the water
is turned off?
Yes. During an emergency or when the source water is off, you can hand pump or
siphon water through the CB Tech system.
CAUTION: The CB Tech system is not intended for use where the water is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the unit. To disinfect questionable source water, add 1/4
tsp. of household bleach per gallon of source water; the CB Tech system will remove
this solution from the water during the ltering process.
