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 prematurely, reducing filtered water flow to the system
faucet. Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.
Electronic Indicator Light (not available on all models) – 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 lead wires 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.
