REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES
• Everpure ROM-PRE Filter Cartridge*
• Everpure ROM-PST Filter Cartridge*
*Prefilter and Postfilter cartridges sold as a set, part number
EV929670.
The prefilter and postfilter cartridges need to be changed
when the water pressure at the faucet begins to drop
noticeably or if there are changes in taste, color, or flow of the
filtered water. All cartridges should be changed at the same
time.
NOTE: Only the water replacement cartridges listed
can be used with this system. Failure to use the
recommended replacement cartridges will void your
warranty.
Remove the new replacement cartridges from the packaging
and inspect the o-rings. They should be clean and lightly
lubricated with silicone grease.

QUICK-CHANGE CARTRIDGE & REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL THE ROM-PRE CARTRIDGE
1. Place a small pan or towel under the ROM IV RO System
to catch any water that may drip. Close the Water Supply
Adapter to turn OFF the incoming water supply and close
the Shut-Off Valve. (see Figure A)
2. Close the tank valve and open the faucet to release
pressure from the system.
3. Remove the two (2) outside cartridges by twisting each
cartridge at 1/4-turn to the left (counterclockwise) then
pull down to release.
4. Position the ROM-PRE cartridge under the left side head.
Line up the tabs on the cartridge with the slots in the head.
(see Figure B)
5. Push the new cartridge into the head until it can go no
further.
6. Twist the cartridge a 1/4-turn to the right (clockwise) until
it locks in place. Pull gently down to ensure the cartridge is
locked in place.
7. Repeat Steps 4, 5, and 6 to install the ROM-PST Cartridge
on the right side head.
INITIAL FLUSHING OF CARTRIDGES
1. The installation of new cartridges requires that a
preliminary flushing of the cartridges be performed. This
initial flushing is required to prevent damage to the RO
cartridge.
2. Turn off incoming water supply by closing the Water Supply
Adapter.
3. To flush the ROM-PRE Cartridge to a drain, remove the
quick-connect plug on the left end of the manifold and
insert a temporary length of tubing into the connection.
4. Close shut-off valve on the top of the ROM IV system.
5. Turn on the incoming water supply. Flush the ROM-PRE
Cartridge to a drain for five (5) minutes at full flow to
remove any carbon fines.
6. After five (5) minutes, close the incoming water valve.
Remove the temporary tubing and re-insert the quick
connect plug.
7. Open the shut-off valve.
8. Slowly turn on incoming water supply.
9. Open the faucet and the tank valve to turn on flow.
NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result
of air trapped in the post-polishing filter. It is not
harmful and will eventually disappear. It may take up
to a week after installing a new post-polishing filter
for the trapped air to dissipate. The system is ready
for operation. You can now enjoy quality water from
your Reverse Osmosis System.
