CARE AND OPTIMUM USE

1. Use COLD water only. Do not use on hot water. This may damage the cartridges.
2. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ area.
3. Soak the diverter in a vinegar and water solution once a month. This will clean deposits that form from feed water and help prevent corrosion of internal diverter mechanisms

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Low water pressure or no water flow. Very low water temperatures may cause water flow through membrane to slow or stop. Wait for temperature to rise.

2. High levels of hardness in feed water. A crystallized layer may form around membrane in feed water with high levels of hardness, causing water to flow improperly.
   Soak membrane invinegar and water solution for 2 to 3 hours to clean membrane. Rinse thoroughly before using.

3. Exhausted filter cartridges. Exhausted cartridges may clog. If steps above do not bring results, filters should be changed.
