1. WHEN TO REPLACE CARBON

As carbon adsorbs taste, odor and chlorine from your water, its capacity diminishes. As the adsorptive properties of the carbon diminish it must be replaced. Because water supplies across the country vary, the effective life of the carbon depends upon concentration of contaminants and the amount of water that has been run through the filter. It is recommended that the carbon be replaced at least every three years. Some installations will require more frequent carbon replacement. Use only this replacement carbon and gravel designed for your filter and in the supplied amounts. DO NOT MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS as there are many qualities and grades

of carbon available.

2. REPLACING MINERAL

Refer to Figure 1 for mineral replacement.

Shut off water supply and open faucet to relieve A. pressure in filter. Loosen compression nuts and disconnect unions from B. plumbing. Remove entire filter from undersink and move to C. outside area or place where carbon can be replaced without worry about a small mess. Unscrew the distributor head from the tank and pull out D. distributor tube. Empty carbon and gravel into an appropriate container E. and wash all parts clean. Reassemble unit by centering new distributor tube in F. tank and cover top end of tube with masking tape to prevent gravel and carbon from entering the tube. Using the mineral package, pour in gravel and then the G. carbon keeping the distributor tube centered in the tank opening. Remove cover from distributor tube and reinstall the H. distributor head.

3. STARTING THE UNIT

Close the faucet and remove the aerator screen. Turn on the water and slowly open the faucet a slight amount to allow the air to bleed out. As the air is expelled and water begins to flow smoothly open the faucet about halfway and allow to run. Allow the water to run until it clears and no air is left in the line. Replace the aerator screen.

Carbon takes a day or two to "wet out" so periodic black color may appear. The aerator screen may require cleaning especially if pressure drop or low flow is noticed within the first few days.

IMPORTANT: At start up, new mineral will entrain air into the water stream. This can cause the water to have a milky appearance. This is a normal, harmless condition that should last no more than a few days depending upon water usage.

The filter may now be reinstalled under the sink. Refer to Start Up Instructions before using the filter. NOTE:

Record date carbon was replaced for future reference.
