Whirlpool 7WUC4801S0 Installation, Use & Care Guide
Filter Replacement:
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.
Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of water used. We recommend you change the 2321005 filter every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a drop in water pressure.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions:
NOTE: Before changing cartridge, turn off or bypass incoming water supply. Place a bucket under filter to catch the small amount of water that will run out after housing removal.
1.Shut off water by turning valve on filter head to the “OFF” or “BYPASS” position.
2.Unscrew housing and remove old cartridge. Wash housing thoroughly with mild soap and water.
3.Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge is seated in the housing before tightening onto head.
4.Use filter wrench to fully seat the cartridge. Tighten to make a water tight seal.
5.Turn on water by turning valve on filter head to the “FILTER” position. If any leaks appear, tighten housing as needed.
6.Flush system for five (5) minutes.
Troubleshooting Guide
Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings:
Tighten slightly more until leak stops
Water leaks at Push-in Connections:
Refer to section “Using Push-In Fittings”
Push pipe in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off water at the incoming valve and remove water line by pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. Inspect pipe for cracks and scratches. If pipe is cracked or scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert pipe into fitting.

Installation Instructions
For Use With Cold Water Only
1.Shut off main water supply. Drain water from water lines.

Do not use pipe sealant (dope), as solvents in some types of pipe dope may cause damage to plastic fittings. Do not overtighten, overtightening can cause damage to fitler head.
4. Calculate proper spacing of components (approximately 3/4” (1,91 cm) of existing pipe inserts into each fitting). (See Figure 2.)
5.Cut pipe and clean ends of pipe. Ensure there are no burrs, sharp edges or deep scratches.
6.Referring to “Using Push-In Fittings” section, insert pipe into filter head fitting making sure end of pipe is firmly seated to backstop. Connect pipe from water supply to “IN” port. (See Figure 3.)
7.Repeat Step 6 for the pipe leading from the “OUT” port to the house. It may be necessary to carefully spread pipe apart in order to connect pipes. Keep filter head horizontal.
8.Lubricate housing o-ring with water. Firmly screw housing, with filter inside, to filter head. Tighten with wrench to seal properly.
9.Turn filter head valve to “FILTER” mode (see Figure 4) and slowly turn on main water supply and check for leaks. Run water for 5 minutes with an open faucet to flush out air.
