•ThedisposableltercartridgeMUST be replaced every 12 months or at the rated capacity or if a noticeable
reduction in flow rate occurs.
The water filter cartridge will need to be changed every 6-12 months or when low pressure is indicated on the
manifold’s pressure gauge, whichever occurs first. Depending on local water quality, you may need to change the
cartridges prior to the recommended change-out.
