Cleaning or Replacing the Media Insert
Clean the Media Insert regularly between replacements to extend the life of the
cartridge.
To clean:
1. Open the housing by turning the top counterclockwise.
2. Temporarily reconnect the inlet assembly to the filter base. Wash the reusable
housing and rinse off the media insert with water and dry. When washing the media
mild rubbing is acceptable. Do not scrub the exterior of the media too hard as it can
be damaged permanently. DO NOT USE SOAP.
3. After cleaning, insert the Media with the outlet nipple pointing down and the
punt up.

4. Close the housing by turning the top clockwise until the arrows marked on the
housing are almost aligned and reinstall.
NOTE: Back-flushing and rinsing will improve flow but will not restore the Pre-Filter
Cartridge to "like new" condition. The improvement will be less each time you back-
flush and rinse, until it is necessary to replace the Pre-Filter Cartridge to restore the
flow rate to an acceptable level.
Maintaining The NanoCeram® Cartridge
IMPORTANT: NEVER BACK-FLUSH THE NANOCERAM® CARTRIDGE.
Back-flushing the NanoCeram® cartridge will damage its internal structure, causing
the filter to become ineffective. Back-flushing can also contaminate the downstream
media of the NanoCeram® so that it will no longer filter properly.
Replacing the NanoCeram® Cartridge
NOTE: The Pre-Filter and the NanoCeram® are not necessarily replaced at the same
time. The led indicator lights refer only to the NanoCeram® cartridge. Replace it when
the flow meter's red warning light flashes. It will also be time to replace the batteries.
1. Disconnect the NanoCeram® cartridge by removing the filter assembly and pre-filter
cartridge. Turn the NanoCeram® cartridge counterclockwise until it releases. Discard
the used cartridge.
