MaintainingyourROwatersystem

How often RO Membrane, Sediment and Carbon cartridges need to be replaced will depend on local water conditions including dirt, iron and chlorine levels. Private wells may require more frequent cartridge replacement while softened water systems may only require cartridge replacement once a year. The maxi- mum length of time a filter cartridge should be used is one year. Special water conditions where contaminants are known should be regularly monitored by a public health agency.

The RO membrane filter cartridge should be replaced when indicator light changes from green to yellow. The naximum length of time a RO membrane filter cartridge should be used is three years.

Howto sanitizeROsystem

You will need new Sediment and Granular Activated Carbon cartridges, household bleach and eyedropper.

1.Turn off saddle valve in water line. Open faucet and drain tank. There will be no water dripping when tank is completely empty.

2.Remove Sediment and Granular Activated Carbon cartridges.

3.Remove caps from new cartridges. Insert new Sediment cartridge into receptacle with symbol that matches the one on label.

4.Use eyedropper to

inject 1 teaspoon (5ml) of bleach into hole in top of new Granular Activated Carbon cartridge. Insert cartridge into receptacle matches the one on label.

5.Turn on saddle valve in water line. Wait

6hours before using system. Open faucet and drain tank. There will be water dripping when tank is empty. Allow tank to refill. If water has a taste, drain tank and allow it to refill again.
