TROUBLESHOOTING (All Models)
Condition:
White sediment is in my filtered water.
Reason:
There is a presence of calcium carbonate in your main
water supply. This will occur any time the filtered water is
boiled or frozen and then melts.
Solution:
This condition is normal and no action is required.
Condition:
Ice cubes appear cloudy in the center.
Reason:
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are pres-
ent in your water supply collect in the center of the ice
cubes when water is frozen. Your System is designed
specifically to leave beneficial trace minerals in your water.
Solution:
No action is required.
Condition:
Filtered water is flowing slowly from the System.
Reason:
Excessive amounts of particles in the water supply may
have caused premature plugging of the Cartridge. On
models equipped with a Filter Life Indicator, this condition may occur before the red lamp located on the LED
Display begins to flash.
Solution:
The Cartridge (and Battery for models with Filter Life
Indicator) must be replaced due to poor water quality
conditions in your area.
Condition:
Yellow lamp on the LED Display is flashing (FP5000 &
FP4500 models only).
Reason:
Cartridge is reaching the end of its useful life (or rated ca-
pacity) and will need to be replaced soon. Order a Genuine Royal Prestige NSF Listed Replacement Cartridge now
so that you will have it when the red lamp begins blinking,
signaling it is time to replace the used Cartridge.
Solution:
Replace Cartridge and Battery when red lamp on LED
Display begins flashing.
Condition:
Diverter Pin is sluggish or does not fully return to the
“Off” position after being in service for a while.
Reason and Solution:
There could be a lack of lubricant on the shaft of the Diverter Valve. Remove the Diverter Valve from the faucet.
Press petroleum jelly into the opening on the Diverter
Valve. Work the Diverter Pin in and out until a smooth
motion is restored.
Hard water (water with high content of dissolved minerals) has caused a build-up of scale in the Diverter Valve.
Detach the Diverter Valve from the kitchen faucet. Remove the rubber washer inside Diverter Valve and soak
Diverter Valve in vinegar for several hours to remove
scale build-up. Then rinse the Diverter Valve with warm
water. Press petroleum jelly into opening on the Diverter
Valve and work the Diverter Pin in and out until a smooth
action is restored. Replace rubber washer and re-connect
the Diverter Valve to the kitchen faucet.
NOTE: Change to “Genuine Royal Prestige NSF Certified Replacement Cartridges may be purchased from your Independent Royal Prestige Representative. For purchase information
you may also call the Royal Prestige Customer Service Center at
