Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking
water when opened. It has a hand-operated, spring-
loaded closed lever to prevent waste. You can keep
the faucet open by pushing upward on the lever to
lock it against the faucet spout.
Filter Cartridge Life—
Several variables determine
how long the cartridges will last in your Water
Filtration system. These include:
How much water you use.
How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or
other unwanted substance, is in the water.
No matter which Water Filtration system you have,
you should replace the cartridges every six months,
when indicated by the electronic indicator light on
the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may
notice the return of the unwanted substance in
your water before the six months are up. In this
case the cartridges should be replaced
immediately. If the system is also for lead or
chemical contaminant removal, it is
MORE
IMPORTANT
to replace the cartridges at least every
six months.
NOTE:
If the water supply contains high amounts of
sediments, the carbon filters may plug with them,
reducing filtered water flow to the system faucet.
Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.
Electronic Indicator Light—
The electronic indicator
light on the base of the faucet is a six month timer
that shows you when to replace the filter cartridges.
When the battery pack is first installed, the
indicator light will light briefly to show that the
electronics are operating.
If this does not happen,
the batteries may be installed
backwards or the
leadwires are not connected.
After about six months, the indicator light begins
to flash. It is time to replace the filter cartridges.
When replacing the filter cartridges, also replace
the batteries in the battery pack. Two “AA”
batteries are required.
