the quality of the feed water. It is recommended that the filter cartridge
be replaced per the operating specifications, or when there is a noticeable
change in taste, odor or flow of filtered water.
Purchase an OMNIFILTER 1500R or 1750R Cartridge for the system.

A) Relieve pressure by turning off water supply to the filter. Dispense
water from water dispenser or T-flush valve until water flow stops.
Place bucket or towel under the system to catch any water drips.

T-flush Valve
Installation of a T-flush valve is recommended
when this system is used with an icemaker. The
T-flush valve is installed between the system and
the dispenser, so it can be used to flush away
carbon fines or release pressure before removing
the cartridge.
The T-flush valve can also be installed after plastic
or copper tubing is connected to outlet.

icemaker
When using a drain, pro-
vide an air gap between
end of tube and drain to
prevent contamination. If
a drain is not available, a
bucket can be used.
