Filter Cartridge Replacement
1. Turn off water supply. Press red pressure-relief button (if
present).
2. Unscrew housing. Remove large o-ring, wipe clean, and set
aside.
3. Discard used filter cartridge. Wash housing with dish soap
and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse
thoroughly. Fill 1/3 with water. Add about one tablespoon of
bleach and scrub to disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Lubricate o-ring with clean silicone grease. Insert o-ring in
groove.
NOTE: This step is important to ensure a proper housing seal.
Make certain the o-ring is seated level in the groove.
5. Insert new filter cartridge.

TIGHTEN. Make sure cap standpipe slips into cartridge.

present). Check for leaks before leaving installation.

minutes before using the water. It is recommended that
you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for
drinking or cooking purposes.
