Filter Replacement:

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

Filter life varies depending on local water conditions and the vol-
ume of water used. We recommend that you change your filter
every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a
drop in pressure at the faucet.

To reduce Chlorine Taste and Odor and Cysts,
use Replacement Filter: WHCF-SRC

To reduce Sediment and Chlorine Taste and Odor,
use Replacement Filter: WHCF-SR

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quali-
ty without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts. EPA Establishment #070595-CT-001

Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions:

To remove old filter: Turn filter 1/4 turn to the left. Top surface
of filter will move away from the bottom of the head. Pull filter
down to disengage.

To insert new filter: Push filter into Filter Head/Bracket. Turn filter
1/4 turn to the right until it stops. Top surface of filter will become
flush with bottom of the Filter Head/Bracket when fully engaged.

Troubleshooting Guide

Water Leaks at Threaded Fittings:

Tighten slightly more until leak stops.

Water leaks at Push-in Connections

Push tubing in as far as it will go. If leaking continues, shut off
water at the original valve and remove water line by pushing in on
the connector collar while pulling the tubing away. Use a catch
basin (See Push-in Fittings Section) Inspect tubing for cracks and
scratches. If tubing is cracked or scratched, cut that portion away
and reinsert tubing into fitting.

Make sure tubing is cut straight. If not, recut.
