Troubleshooting
1. Leak between cap and bottom of lter housing:
a. Turn off water supply and press the red pressure-relief button. Remove bottom of
housing.
b. Clean o-ring and o-ring groove (located directly beneath threads of housing). Lubricate
o-ring with clean silicone grease and replace securely into groove. Screw bottom of
housing onto cap and hand-tighten.
Do not over-tighten.
c. Replace o-ring, should leak persist. o-ring can deteriorate over time and periodic
replacement is required.
2. Leak on inlet/outlet connections:
a. Turn off water supply. For brass ttings, tighten nut snugly about half of a turn
with a wrench.
b. Turn on water supply. If leaks persist, or if there are other leaks on the system,
turn off water supply. Contact your nearest Microlene Dealer for advice.
Maintenance
Filter housings must be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions, including
ongoing replacement of the lter cartridge. Failure to do so will result in poor water pressure
and poor ltration results.
Sediment Cartridge Filter Life
Once the housing is properly installed, a reduction in ow/pressure (to such an extent as
to cause inconvenience) will indicate when the cartridge is becoming clogged and needs
replacing/cleaning. Sediment cartridges should be replaced/cleaned/sanitised when the
water ow has been noticeably reduced/or after 3-6 months - whichever comes rst (this is
for hygiene reasons).
Activated Carbon Cartridge Filter Life
These should be replaced when they no longer remove taste or odour from the water, or
when blocked, or after 6 months - whichever comes rst (the latter recommendation is for
reasons of hygiene - Bacteriostatic cartridges can be used up to a maximum of 12 months).
NOTE: Pleated cartridges 10 micron and greater are washable in mild dishwashing
detergent. Ensure they are rinsed thoroughly before use. In the event of damage to
the material, they must be replaced.
All other cartridge variants are not washable and must be replaced when a drop in
pressure occurs or the water taste becomes tainted.
NOTE: Actual ltration/purication life of cartridge can vary with the
condition of incoming water.
WARNING: DISINFECTION MAY ALSO BE REQUIRED ON UNTREATED
WATER SUPPLIES. We recommend SteriFlo Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems.
