Filter Cartridge Replacement - Pentair OMNIFILTER BF6 Instructions D'installation

FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

1. Place a pan under the unit to catch any spilled water. Turn off water supply
to filter. Depress red pressure-relief button on top of filter. Use housing
wrench to unscrew bottom of housing. Turn slowly to the left and support
the housing and piping as you loosen the housing.
NOTE: If turning off water supply to the filter will also turn off water supply
to the rest of the home, be sure to fill a bucket of water first to allow you to
clean the housing after it has been removed.
2. Pour out the water from the housing and remove and discard the old
cartridge. Locate and remove large O-ring, wipe clean of lubricant and set
aside. Rinse out bottom of housing and fill about 1/3 full with water. Add
about 2 tablespoons of bleach and scrub cap and bottom of housing with
nonabrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Check O-ring for damage.
If cut, scratched, or stretched, replace it with a new one. If the O-ring is
in good condition, lubricate it with clean silicone grease, insert it back
into groove and smooth into place with finger. Insert new cartridge over
standpipe in bottom of housing.
3. Screw bottom of housing onto the cap and hand-tighten.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Turn on water supply slowly to allow filter to fill
with water. Depress red pressure-relief button to release trapped air.
Check for leaks before leaving installation.
NOTE: After installation, flush the cartridge for 10 minutes, wait one hour,
then flush again for 10 minutes before using the water.
NOTE: Use only genuine OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges for best
results. Failure to use OMNIFILTER replacement cartridges will void
your warranty.
