SimPure DB10 - Warning & Caution

Warning & Caution
SimPure® products are designed with safety in mind. However, personnel using
these units must be familiar with any potential dangers. All safety information
detailed in this handbook should be reviewed before installing and operating
this water purification system.
This product is not a toy; please keep children away from the
water filter. Please keep packing materials out of children's reach.
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can cause cracking of
the filter housing and water leakage.
To prevent the risk of costly repairs or possible water damage, we
strongly recommend that the filter bowl be replaced every five years
as a precautionary measure. If the filter housing has been in use for
longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately.
This unit is for use with cold municipal tap water or potable well
water that has been tested safe by a certified laboratory. Never use
hot water or unknown/unsafe sources of water.
The installation of the system must comply with your local and
state regulations. Please check before commencing installation.
The O-ring provides the water-tight seal between the head and the
filter bowl. The O-ring must be seated correctly in the groove above
the threads of the housing, or a water leak could occur.
Warnings and Cautions are provided; Failing to observe the
instructions could damage the equipment, associated parts,
surroundings, or personal injury.
Filter Cartridge Replacement
Turn off the water supply to filter. Depress the red
pressure-relief button on top of the filter. Use the
wrench to unscrew the filter bowl.
NOTE: If turning off the water supply to the filter
will also turn off the water supply to the rest of the
home, be sure to fill a bucket of water first to allow
you to clean housing after it has been removed.
Locate and remove large O-ring, wipe clean of
lubricant, and set aside. Discard used cartridge.
Rinse out the bottom of the filter bowl and fill about
1/3 full with water. Add two tablespoons of bleach
and scrub filter head and bowl with nonabrasive
:fi:@:@: sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Lubricate O-ring
fl with clean silicone grease. Insert O-ring back into
“ " the groove and smooth into place with finger. Insert
new cartridge over standpipe in the bottom of filter
bowl, making sure the cartridge is sitting upright
(not tilted).
Screw the bowl onto the filter housing head hand-
tight, then use the wrench to finish turning the
bowl so it fits snugly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
Turn on the water supply slowly to allow filter housing to fill with water.
Depress the red pressure-relief button to release trapped air until water starts
to come out of the red relief button. Check for leaks before leaving installation.
NOTE: After installing a new cartridge, flush for 10 minutes to drain, if
possible, wait one hour, then flush again for 10 minutes before using the water;
this will help condition the filter ready for use.
