Waterdrop 847200 Refrigerator Water Filter Installation Guide

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.

Grasp the old filter and slowly rotate it 90° counterclockwise and take off it from the connector.
Remove all packaging and the protective cap from the new filter.
Align the new filter with the connector, insert top of it into the cartridge holder. Slowly rotate it 90° clockwise until it is firmly seated.
Run water from the dispenser for 5 minutes through to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

If the water is black at beginning, this is a normal phenomenon, because of the carbon foam from the filter. The water will be normal in a few seconds.

Note: Release water pressure before installation. Please empty the water hose from the water dispenser until there is no more water coming out

Resetting your filter indicator:

Note: These are the most common filter reset instructions. If the instructions don’t work for your refrigerator brand, see the documentation that came with your refrigerator.

Storage and maintenance:

Replace your filter every 6 months or 300 gallons to achieve optimal performance and prevent bacteria and fungus growth in your filter and supply lines.

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 block, 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.

Substance reduction:

The system has been tested and certified by the NSF International according to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for the water leaving the system, as specified by NSF/ANSI Standard 42. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

Substance| Inf. Average| NSF Specified Challenge Concentration| Ave. % Reduction(%)| Average Product Water Concentration| Max Permissible Product Water Concentration| NSF Reduction Requirements| NSF Test Report
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Chlorine Taste and Odor| 2.1 mg/L| 2.0mg/L±10%| 97.6%| 0.05mg/L| N/A| ≥50%| J-00356469

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown water quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used with disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
