Cartridge Changes and Sanitization

Purefecta Sanitization Procedure—Cartridge Replacement
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that you have sanitized the new
replacement components during the cartridge change out. Also, while the
installer performed a full sanitization at the initial start up of the system, it is
important to take this opportunity to again sanitize the RO module and all of
the system's manifolding, tubing and the drinking water tap. This is required
since you will be depressurizing the system and opening it for service, and
since a period of time (presumably six months to one year) has elapsed since
the last sanitization.
Using a high grade sanitizing agent, chlorine dioxide, assures top performance
during this step. Be sure to fully read the warnings on the chlorine dioxide
packet, and follow all safety precautions. Wear latex or similar quality rubber
gloves and eye protection throughout this procedure to prevent contact with
the chlorine dioxide solution and to also prevent your hands from possibly
contaminating any sanitized components.
Removing Old Cartridges
1. Turn off the cold water supply valve, shut off the storage tank valve and
open the drinking water tap to relieve pressure in the system. Assuming the
MACguard postfilter has shut off, the flow from the tap will be very low,
and you should wait for the flow to completely stop.
2. Remove the prefilter and postfilter by turning them 1/4 turn counterclock-
wise and pulling them down and away from the bracket assembly.
3. Dispose of the spent cartridges.
Installing Special Sanitizing Components
4. Remove the module securing clip from the bracket manifold by squeezing
the sides inward and pulling the clip off. Remove the RO module.
5. Install the manifold adapter pin and discharge tube into port #2. The RO
module will make high quality water without back pressure during the
sanitization procedure.
