SETTING THE RAINFRESH FILTER LIFE MONITOR (Model QSIM only)
Press and hold black monitor button. The orange LED will glow and after 5 seconds it will blink 4 times and turn off . Now release the button as the
monitor has been reset. The monitor tracks both the gallons used and time. When either 350 gallons or 6 months have expired the orange LED will
blink every 5 seconds advising you to replace the cartridge.The LED will continue to blink until monitor is reset as above. Note: Excessive sediment
may cause more frequent fi lter cartridge replacement.
Monitor Battery - After approx 2 years yellow LED will blink every 5 seconds advising you to change battery.
To replace battery - Remove head cover insert (2713) by gently pulling away the insert from the head. Insert new battery (2545) into
battery slot between contacts with + side out and reattach cover insert to head assembly.
To test battery – With faucet off , press the black button for two seconds or less. If the orange LED lights up then power is on and monitor is working.
If LED does not light then battery is expired and must be replaced. NOTE: If faucet is on and water is running, LED will not light if button is pressed.
REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
For best results, the QLV fi lter cartridge in Model QSIM must be replaced after 350 gallons (1324 L approx) or 6 months
whichever comes fi rst . This will be signaled by the orange LED blinking every 5 seconds. The QLV cartridge for Model QSIMX must be replaced after
250 US Gal (946 L) or 4 months.
To replace fi lter cartridge - simply hold the cartridge and turn about 1/4 of a turn left and lower it away from head while holding it vertically. Empty
the old cartridge in the kitchen sink by holding it upside down and discard. Use a dry absorbent cloth or a paper towel to wipe off any water that may
fall on the fl oor. To install new fi lter cartridge, turn it to the right until it stops turning and the lock marks on the cartridge and head line up
(lock position). The cartridge is now locked in place.
MAINTENANCE / PRECAUTIONS
1) Do not subject unit to freezing temperatures at any time.
2) Do not clean housing with organic solvents such as those found in sprays for cleaning products or insecticides as these may cause
cracking or crazing and lead to failure and leakage.

POSSIBLE CAUSE & SOLUTION
• Some carbon fines may persist for several days. These are harmless and frequent running of the unit will clear them
more quickly. Running the unit for extended periods of time will NOT help.
• Water can appear milky after a new cartridge is installed because of tiny air bubbles coming out. These will clear out
if you leave the water standing for a few seconds and are harmless. After a few days of use the bubbles will slowly clear
away.
• This may indicate high water pressure or water hammer conditions exceeding 100 psi . You may need to install a
pressure regulator (set at 60-70 psi max) and a water hammer arrestor on the line. Call Rainfresh for further assistance
• If water is not running through the system and the monitor LED does not light up, you may need to replace the battery
(2545). Call Rainfresh to order
