head.

5. Hold head firmly. Align cartridge

lug with label. Insert new cartridge
firmly into head.

6. Turn cartridge right 90˚ until

CARTRIDGE CHANGE DETERMINATION

Replace cartridges when capacity is reached, or when flow becomes inadequate, but at least annually. All cartridges on multiple cartridge systems should
be changed at the same time. The Everpure Pressure Gauge or Everguard Low Pressure Alarm provides a quick and simple means of determining when the
filter cartridge(s) should be changed. Installed on the outlet port of the filter, the gauge or Everguard LPA can be used to measure both dynamic (flowing) and
static (line) pressure. The cartridge(s) should be changed when the pressure gauge needle is in the red area while equipment is in operation, and yet the
needle shows adequate line pressure between cycles. Observe the needle during the next equipment on cycle. If the needle registers adequate pressure, it
can be assumed that the temporary low-pressure condition was caused by a brief power failure or other incoming pressure disruption.

FLUSHING

For maximum life, all carbon filter cartridges must be flushed for five minutes at full flow before use. ALL NEW CARTRIDGES MUST BE FLUSHED AFTER EACH
CARTRIDGE CHANGE BEFORE BEING PUT INTO SERVICE!

If the cartridges are new, have been properly flushed and both needle and follower register inadequate pressure, or the LPA is sounding, you may be experiencing inadequate
water pressure or some restriction may exist in the inlet water line. In either case, the incoming water pressure must be improved to receive optimum filter life.
