Filter Changes
A step-by-step walkthrough
The eight steps
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Confirm the correct replacement cartridge before shutting off water |
| 2 | Turn off the water supply, release pressure |
| 3 | Open the housing, remove the old cartridge, note orientation |
| 4 | Inspect the housing, rinse if recommended |
| 5 | Check O-rings and seals for wear |
| 6 | Install the new cartridge in correct orientation |
| 7 | Reassemble hand-tight, turn water back on slowly, check for leaks |
| 8 | Flush the new filter per manufacturer instructions |
Key takeaway
Don't forget to reset any electronic filter-life indicator after a change - otherwise your next replacement timing will be off.
