FILTER REPLACEMENT

Filter change frequency depends on filter
type. We recommend you change the
filter every six (6) months. It should be
replaced earlier if there is a significant
drop in water pressure.
1. Turn off the shut-off valves at filter
head.
2. Relieve pressure in housing by pushing
red air release button.
3. Unscrew housing and remove old filter.
Wash housing thoroughly with mild
soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Insert new filter and re-install housing.
Ensure filter is centered and seated in the
housing before tightening onto head.
5. Hand-tighten housing on filter head
until snug. If necessary, use filter wrench
to fully tighten the housing, ensuring a
watertight seal.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
6. Turn shut-off valves at filter head to the
"FILTER" position. If any leaks appear,
tighten housing as needed.
7. Flush system for five (5) minutes.
TIPS:
Before changing filter, turn off water supply.
Place a bucket under filtration system to catch
the small amount of water that will run out after
housing removal. If non-A. O. Smith brand filter
is used, installer must ensure the replacement
filter is appropriate.
