CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
1. Isolate unit from all water sources (close I/O lines) and relieve pressure to
housing by first opening the housing’s “Bottom Drain” and let drain completely.
See Installation Diagrams (pgs. 8-11). This will protect the cartridges (installed)
from experiencing a reverse flow that could cause damage.
2. Open Side Drain and let housing drain completely.
3. Loosen all Eye Nuts of Swing Bolts by 1/2 turn increments counter-clockwise to
gradually step down load applied to swing bolts. Repeat process as needed.
4. Fully loosen Eye Nuts but do not remove from Swing Bolt. Lift Washer above
Tangs in Lid Cleats and allow Swing Bolt to rotate downward along the side of
the housing’s Tank Wall.

5 b. Models HUR 3X170FL, HUR 5X170FL & HUR 8X170FL all have
a Davit Assembly and Lid Lifting Wheel to raise and lower the Lid.
To raise Lid, turn Lid Lifting Wheel clockwise. To lower Lid, turn
Wheel counter-clockwise.
Note: Housing O-ring may stick to Lid. To prevent this, it is suggested
to raise the Lid about 1/8” inch and move the Lid/Davit Assembly slightly
sideways to free the O-ring from Lid while keeping the O-ring in its housing
channel.
Continue raising Lid approximately 1” to clear housing. Swing Lid
and Davit Assembly until cartridge compartment is fully exposed.
Caution: The Lid should be secured when servicing.
