Filter Cartridge Replacement

Maintenance

Complete the following steps to replace the cartridges:

CAUTION: Never remove sumps with water pressure in the filter system.

1.Close the water supply shutoff valve (See Fig. 2 on Page 5) to the filter. Open the filtered water faucet to relieve pressure in the system.

2.Use the sump removal wrench, included, to turn the sump to the left to loosen it from the filter head. Be careful - the sump is full of water. Do not lose the large o-ring seal.

3.Dispose of the old cartridge in a proper manner.

4.Make sure the inside of the sump is clean. Use hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

5.Remove the wrapper from the new cartridge and insert filter cartridge into the sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit only one way. Observe markings on the cartridge or wrapper.

NOTE: If you are using filter numbers 42-38480 and 42-34373, place filter 42-38480 (Sediment*) in the Filter I position and place filter 42-34373 (Taste & Odor) in the Filter II position (See Fig. 15).

6.Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with sili- cone grease. Be sure it is fully seated in its groove.

7.Hold the sump up to the filter head, aligning the cen- ter hole in the cartridge with the protrusion on the bottom of the head.

NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head, and you are using cartridges other than 42-38480 and 42-34373, you may have the cartridge in upside down. Take the cartridge out and check for cor- rect orientation.

8.Being careful not to cross-thread, turn the sump to the right onto the filter head and tighten securely.

9.Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the other filter.

10.Open the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water supply valve and allow the filter housing to fill.

11.Close the filtered water faucet. Check for leaks between the sumps and the heads.

12.Remove and replace the timer battery. See “Change Battery” on Page 9.

Taste and Odor Cartridges: A taste and odor cartridge contains activated carbon, a black powder. When new, open the filtered water faucet and allow fine carbon par- ticles to purge from the cartridge. Close the faucet when you no longer see the “fines” (carbon particulates) in the filtered water, or approximately 10 minutes.

*This cartridge has not been performance tested and certified by NSF International.
