6. If there are no leaks and the unit is functioning
correctly, install the water dispenser cover and then

install the lter box cover using the athead screws

and a 3/32 inch Allen wrench.

7. Upon initial startup, the PLASTIC BOTTLES SAVED
indicator panel should show several bottles have been
saved due to the water used to initially start up the
unit.

8. The left-most FILTER LIFE indicator light should also

be lit. This light shows the lter is functioning correctly

and has used less than 65 percent of its capacity.

When the middle blue light illuminates, the lter has

reached 66 percent of its life and will need to be
changed soon. When this indicator light comes on, a
replacement lter should be ordered.

The right-most red light will illuminate in red and

indicates that the lter should be changed.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Filter Cartridge Replacement

A lter cartridge is designed to lter approximately 750

gallons of water at which time it must be replaced. The

lter should also be replaced every 12 months if the

750-gallon maximum is not reached.

1. Remove four screws from lter box cover using a 3/32

Allen wrench (if lter box is installed).

2. Shut off the water supply using the shut-off valve.
Turn water shut-off valve handle to the OFF position
(clockwise). The handle will be facing up when closed.

3. Activate the water dispenser using a water bottle to
relieve pressure in the water line.

4. Shut OFF power to the unit at the circuit breaker.

5. Place a towel inside the lter box, under the lter, to

absorb any water that leaks out of the lter when it is

removed.

6. Twist the lter counterclockwise until it is disengaged.

Remove the lter and quickly hold it upright.

7. Drain the lter before disposing of it in the trash. The

lter can be discarded along with the everyday trash.

8. Remove and discard the protective cap from the new

lter cartridge.

9. Mark the current date on the label of the new lter
cartridge in the space provided.

10. Attach the lter cartridge by rmly inserting it onto

the lter head and twisting it clockwise until it is

completely seated. The label must be facing outward
to be correctly installed.

11. Restore power to the unit at the circuit breaker.

12. Check the lter status light. If the red light is blinking

the lter is installed incorrectly. A steady blue light
indicates the lter is installed properly.

13. Open the water supply valve.

Note: The unit is set to automatically shut off after 16

ounces of water has been dispensed to prevent

overow and potential ooding so activations will

be required to get the needed one gallon of water

ow through the unit.
