Section 3: Operation and Maintenance
Operation of your filter system is simple and easy. Be sure to follow the cartridge replacement
schedule to ensure peak performance.
Changing Filter Cartridges and Sani-Purge Procedure
The filter cartridges should be changed, as a rule of thumb, every three months. It is critical that this
be done, to ensure that your drinking water remains fresh. Always purge the complete system at
the same time that the cartridges are changed.
!
THOROUGHLY WASH HANDS BEFORE LOADING CARTRIDGES.
1. Close the cold water supply saddle valve. Open the faucet until the flow of water stops.
Remove the filter housings with the housing wrench and discard the old filter cartridges.
Thoroughly clean the inside of the housing bowls with soap and warm water. Rinse
completely. If the system has been installed with a water supply that does not contain
chlorine, put 2 fluid ounces (60 ml) of common household chlorine bleach such as Javex in
the clear housing. Reassemble filter housings WITHOUT cartridges.
2. Purge Procedure: Open the faucet. Open the raw water supply saddle valve. The filter
housings will now fill with raw and chlorinated water will soon begin to flow from the faucet.
Turn the faucet off and allow the system to stand for about 1 hour.
3. Open the faucet and allow the system to run until a chlorine odour is no longer present. They
system has now been purged and is ready to load the new cartridges.
4. To load the cartridges, repeat Step 9 (3) from the installation instructions above.
