Changing the Cartridges
One of the many great features of the Aqua-Cleer Drinking Water System is the ease of changing
out cartridges. Please follow the instructions below to ensure proper cartridge replacement.
Removing the old cartridges:
1. Turn off inlet feed water valve.
2. Release each cartridge from manifold by making a counter-clockwise, quarter turn.
3. Pull down to remove cartridge and dispose.
Installing new cartridges:
1. Mark each cartridge with an install date in the space provided on cartridge label.
2. Match the inlet and outlet valve on the cartridge to corresponding port within
the manifold and insert the cartridge. (Figure 1)
3. Making a clockwise, quarter turn, twist the cartridge into locked position.
(Figure 2)
4. To replace the polishing lter, the tubing needs to be removed from the old lter.
Check both ends of 3/8” tubing for any scratches. If scratches exist, please use
a utility knife and make a straight cut to remove any imperfections on tubing.
(Figure 3) Connect the tubing to the new polishing lter with the “FLOW” arrow
pointed in the direction of the faucet.
5. Make sure all cartridges are locked in place, and close tank valve, then turn back on the inlet water valve.
• Run water for 10 minutes through the faucet in order to ush pre-lters and carbon post-lter.
• Check system thoroughly for leaks.
6. Reinstall the RO membrane, turn on tank valve. Wait for RO tank to rell before product water is available.

into the manifold, the bypass plug
cartridge must be inserted in the 4th
position. (Figure 1)
Note: The activated carbon polishing lter needs a 10 minute ush to remove
carbon dust.
