REPLACING THE FILTER CANISTERS
The amber light in the faucet base will flash every
30 seconds to indicate a filter change is needed.
This occurs every 6 months. TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN
SYSTEM, CHANGE FILTER AS REQUIRED.
1. Remove the filter canisters from the manifold by
rotating the canisters to the left about 1/3 turn
(Fig. 11). NOTE: A small amount of water from the
tubing between the filter and the faucet may come
out. A small towel should be able to catch it.
2. Remove foil on top of new replacement filter
canisters. Install the new canisters into the manifold
by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the
alignment marks line up and the filter stops. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN. The filter will rise up as it
is turned.
3. Turn handle on faucet to allow trapped air to purge
from the system.
NOTE: System may make noise during this procedure.
4. Check for water leaks around the system.
5. Once water starts to flow out of the faucet, allow
the system to run for 4 gallons (or 5 minutes) to
flush out any harmless carbon fines that may be
present.
6. Turn off faucet and check around system for leaks.
7. Remove battery tray and replace battery to reset
timer. (See Battery Installation for proper procedure).
