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 and firmly twist the cartridge in an anticlockwise direction (to the left when installed in the recommended orientation).
- Pull the cartridge away from the filter head (down when installed in the recommended orientation). It is not unusual for a few drops of water to be present when filter is removed.
- Discard old filter.
- Filter installation: -Push the cartridge up towards filter head while rotating it in a clockwise direction (to the right when installed in the recommended orientation).
- Reset filter indicator on the display (this will set to remind you when the filter is due to be replaced again).
- Run water from the dispenser for 5 minutes at 0.5 gpm (about 2.5 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
- A few drips may appear out of the dispenser over the next few days as the remaining trapped air is closed.
Resetting your filter indicator:

Storage and maintenance:
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 300 gallons 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 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.
