Installation and Replacement Instructions

Preparation:

1. Place the system on a stable, levelled surface and remove the filter packaging. Please remove the drip tray from the packaging and place it below the water dispensing outlet.
2. Open the original water tank cap and lift the tank. Rinse the tank and the pure water pitcher thoroughly.
3. Please refer to the “Filter installation and replacement” instructions for filter installation.
4. Place the 1st stage FNF100 stainless steel mesh filter onto the slot at the bottom of the tank on the left side.
5. Fill the original water tank with an appropriate amount of water. Do not exceed the maximum watermark.
6. Put the original water tank and the empty pure water pitcher into the system, close the top cover cap, and then plug in the power.

Initial system startup:

1. The system will perform an initial flush lasting 120 seconds upon first use. During this flushing process, the flush indicator and filter “1” and “2” indicators will illuminate, and the display will indicate 0% to signify the initial rinsing phase. After the 2-minute flush is completed, the system will begin producing water.
   • Note: During flushing, except for the “Dispense” button, “ROOM TEMP” button, and temperature for the “TEA” button, all other buttons are lit off and cannot be operated.
2. When water production begins, the “water-producing” indicator will be illuminated, and the water volume in the pure water pitcher will gradually increase until it’s full.
   • Simultaneously, the rinsing progress display will incrementally rise. Once the water reaches its maximum capacity, the rinsing progress will cease increasing.
   • At this point, empty both the pure water pitcher and the cold-water tank by pressing the dispense button.
   • When the system resumes water production, the rinsing progress will also resume and continue to increase.
   • Repeat the procedure for rinsing. If the original water tank runs low on water during rinsing, please first remove any remaining water and then refill the original tank.
   • Wait until the cleaning progress reaches 100% to complete the startup process.
   • The initial rinsing process takes a long time, so please be patient. During the flushing and water production, the display will show the progress increasing by 1 every 20 seconds of water production. Once it reaches 25, the filter life bar will gradually light up from the bottom to the top. When the progress reaches 100, the filter life bar will be fully lit, and water production will stop. After the water-producing indicator turns off for 1 second, the progress will indicate 100%, and the filter life indicator will flash, signalling the completion of the initial rinsing process. Press any key to return to the regular status.
   • The initial rinsing process is designed to clean the filter and pipeline. During this process, you may notice the presence of fine activated carbon particles or bubbles in the rinse water. This is a normal occurrence. Please continue rinsing repeatedly until the water runs clear. When using the filter for the first time, please be sure to rinse the filter several times. The FPCA100 is a composite filter containing activated carbon. There will be black water when flushing for the first time. This is normal when finer activated carbon particles are flushed out with the water flow. After rinsing for the first time, it can be used normally when there is no black water.
   • Brand-new RO membranes come with a preservation solution between them. When using them for the first time, it’s essential to rinse this solution with water. If the rinse is incomplete and the water is left standing in the pitcher for an extended period, you may notice that the pitcher’s walls become slightly sticky. This stickiness is due to the presence of the reverse osmosis membrane preservation solution.

Note:

• Rinse the tank and replace the water if not used for more than 24 hours.
• Do not fill the tank with any liquid other than water.
• The system has been tested and checked. There might be some residual water in the pipeline. This is normal and is not a quality issue. Please feel free to use it.
• If you do not drink the water from the cold water tank regularly, it is recommended to dispense about 17 oz of water from the cold water tank every two days to avoid odours.

Filter installation and replacement:

1. Remove the original water tank cover cap.
2. Flatly push the filter cover back. When the cover is pushed out of the slot, you can lift it up.
3. Turn off the power by unplugging the dispenser.
4. According to the direction on the panel, hold and turn the filter handle counterclockwise to the “Release” position to release the filter.
5. Lift and remove the used filter.
6. Remove the new filter’s plastic wrap and dust cover, and confirm that the arrow on the filter rotator and the arrow on the filter body are aligned. If they are not aligned, please turn the rotator to align them.
7. Align the mark on the filter handle with the “Release” position and insert the new filter into the corresponding slot.
8. According to the direction on the panel, hold and turn the filter handle clockwise to the “Lock” position to secure the filter.
9. After securing the filter, insert the filter cover into the groove, push it back toward the display, and cover the original water tank cap.
10. Turn the power back on.

Filter life indicator reset:

1. Press the “LOCK” button first to unlock the system.
2. Press and hold the “RESET” button for 3 seconds to enter the filter life reset mode.
3. Press the “RESET” button again to choose the filter that has been replaced.
4. Press and hold the “RESET” button for 3 seconds to reset the filter life indicator.
5. The system is now ready to be used. Please use the following information to service and replace the filters based on the recommended schedule:

Filter replacement and service schedule

• All iSpring Water Systems are designed with ease of use and low maintenance in mind. The system will work properly for years if the filter cartridges are changed on the suggested schedule. See the chart below for the filter model numbers for your system.
• The filters can be found on 123filter.com, Amazon, or HomeDepot.com.
• There are two ways to calculate the filter lifespan of the system. One is by the time the water flows, and the other is by the system’s power-on time. Both of them are calculated independently. The filter life indicator will blink, whichever comes first.
• The filter life calculated by the time of water flowing will detect the original water TDS and convert it to the lifespan according to different TDS.

Stage No.| Filter Model#| Content| Lifespan by Power-on Time| Lifespan by Water Flowing Time Original Water TDS (ppm)
---|---|---|---|---
< 300| 300 ~ 800| > 800
1| FNF100| Stainless Steel Filter| Clean at least every 3 months with a soft brush or replace when needed
2| FPCA100| Composite Filter| Up to 12 months| 130 hr.| 97.5 hr.| 65 hr.
3| MCD100HCG| RO Membrane| Up to 24 months| 260 hr.| 195 hr.| 130 hr.

• The filters are highly suggested to be cleaned or replaced when they reach their recommended replacement cycle.
• However, the actual lifespan of filters may vary depending on the source water quality and frequency of usage.
• Please follow the filter life indicator and replace the filter on time.

How to clean the 1st stage filter?

Every 3 months, follow these steps

1. Open the original water tank cap.
2. Take out the filter.
3. Carefully clean the filter using a brush.
4. Put the filter back in place after cleaning is complete

Note: Depending on the inlet water quality, the 1st stage filter may need to be replaced every certain period.
