FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Never remove the sump with water
pressure in the filter.
1. Turn the filter handle to the OFF or BYPASS posi
tion to relieve pressure in the filter. It is normal for
some water to leak out.
Note: A special wrench (42-34334) is included for
turning the sump head and removing the sump. See
instructions for use on page 10.
2. Turn the sump off of the filter head to the left or
clockwise. Be careful, the sump is full of water. Do
not lose the large o-ring seal.
3. Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Use warm,
soapy water and rinse well.
4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge
and insert the filter cartridge in the sump. Some car
tridges fit either way, while others fit only one way.
Observe markings on the cartridge or on the wrap
per.
5. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with
silicone grease or Vaseline. Be sure it is fully seated
in the groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head aligning the
center hole in the cartridge with the protrusion on the
bottom of the head.
Note: If the sump will not tighten up to the head you
may have the cartridge in upside down or crooked.
Take the cartridge out and check for correct orienta
tion.
7. Being careful not to cross-thread turn the sump
onto the filter head and tighten securely.
8. If the filter is installed for whole house water filter
ing, partially open a house faucet on the outlet side
of the filter housing. Open the sink faucet if the filter
is an undersink installation. Then turn the filter han
dle to ON allowing the filter housing to fill with wa
ter.
9. Close the house faucet. Then check for leaks be
tween the sump and the head.
Note: If leaking turn off the water supply and depres
surize the filter. Then disassemble the filter and
check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots, etc., and sealing
surfaces for foreign material. Relubricate the o-ring
with silicone grease or Vaseline and carefully press
into the groove in the sump.
