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.

Locate filter below the refrigerator. Slowly turn the cartridge 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and remove knob from old filter.
Remove all packaging, and remove the protective cap from the top.
Slide knob from old filter onto new filter. Insert filter into refrigerator and turn 1/4 turn clockwise until firmly seated.
Dispense water into glass looking for good water flow. If flow is slow, remove and reinstall filter ensuring that the filter is a full 1/4 turn. Note: Initial flow rate may be slower than expected. Full flow rate should be restored within 24-36 hours.
Check filter one more time for any leaks.
Run water from the dispenser for 5 minutes at 0.5 gpm (about 2.5 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

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 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.
