Installation instructions
Before installation:
- Shut off the cold-water supply to the refrigerator before installation. Turn on the refrigerator water dispenser to release water pressure, letting water drain from the pipe completely.
- It is normal for black carbon fines (particles) to appear on the outside of your filter. This happens when the filter is jarred in shipping. It is safe to simply wipe it off.
- The filter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to twist the filter hard to make sure the connection is secure.
-
Shut off the water supply to the filter.
-
Remove the clips from the inlet and outlet.
-
Note: Don’t forget to place a towel below the filter to soak excess water.
-
Remove the inlet and outlet tubing from the old filter by holding down the end of the filter and pulling on the tube
-
Remove the old filter from the mounting clips.
-
Insert the water supply tubing into the inlet of the new filter, place the filter into a sink or large bowl, then turn on the water supply to flush the filter.
-
Flush approximately 2 liters through the new filter to remove excess carbon fines. Once flushed, turn the water supply off.
-
Place the new filter into mounting clips (remember to leave tubing inserted in the inlet).
-
Insert the outlet tubing then turn on the water supply (check for leaks).
-
Note: This filter should not be used with water that is micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. -
Note: This filter should not be used with water that is micro-biologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. -
Note: If there is any abrasion or crease at the front of the tubing, please cut it off before inserting the tubing into new filter.
Storage and maintenance
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 5000L to prevent bacteria and fungus growth in your filter, supply lines, and storage tank.
- Keep your unused filters in a cool, dark, and dry place until you need them.
- If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Why is it difficult to twist the new filter into the filter housing?
- A: The connector may expand because of water pressure. Therefore, it is recommended you push the new filter in with a little bit of force, but not too hard. Then turn it clockwise.
- Q: Do I need to flush the filter after installation?
- A: After installation, it is highly recommended you run water for a few minutes before using. Water filters are made from advanced coconut carbon blocks, so there are some carbon fines in the filter. Flushing removes the carbon fines to produce clean water.
- Q: Must the filter be changed every 6 months?
- A: Yes, you must replace the filter every six months or sooner if water flow is reduced or if there is heavy sediment/rust present. Over-used filters will degrade the filtration performance.
