Frequently asked Questions
- Why is it difficult to twist the new filter into the filter housing? 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.
- Must the filter be changed every 6 months? Yes. You must replace the filter every 6 months or sooner if water flow is reduced or if there is heavy sedimen Vrust sediment. Over-used filters will degrade the filtration performance.
- Do I need to flush the filter after installation? After installation, it is highly recommended you run water from dispenser for 5 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.
