Installation, Use & Care Guide

Filter Replacement:

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

Filter life varies depending on local water conditions and the vol- ume of water used. We recommend that you change your filter every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a drop in pressure at the faucet.

To reduce Chlorine Taste and Odor, use Replacement Filter: WHCF-GAC

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quali- ty without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001

4.Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge is seated in the housing before tightening onto head.

Troubleshooting Guide

Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings:

Tighten slightly more until leak stops.

Water leaks at Push-in Connections

Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the original valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. (See Push-in Fittings Section) Inspect tubing for cracks and scratches. If tubing is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert tubing into fitting.

Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut.
