1.3: Preparing and Operating Your Drinking Water System
6
2.1: Regarding Filter Capacity
2. Maintenance
1. exact filter capacity varies in proportion to the amount of water used and the level of impurities in the water being
processed. For contaminants reduced through mechanical filtration, capacity claims are inapplicable due to broad
variations in the quality and quantity of physical matter in the drinking water. excessive physical matter will cause the
Dws to clog, diminishing flow rate but reducing the contaminants from the resultant water stream.
2. For optimum performance and to maintain the lifetime warranty on your system housing, it is essential that the filter be
replaced when the first of the following occurs: (a) six months have passed, (b) when the system reaches its rated
capacity, (c) when the flow rate diminishes, or (d) when the filter becomes saturated with bad tastes and/or odors.
2.2: Removing the Old Filter
1. Before opening the Dws housing, place the system either on a folded towel, in a basin or other container, or in the sink.
2. with the faucet off, press the right button on the diverter valve to select the filtered water spout and flush water out of
the Dws.
3. when the flow of water stops, press the left button on the diverter valve to stop the filtered water spout.
4. with the Dws housing in an upright position, unscrew the black knob on the locking V-Band by turning it counter-clock
wise.
5. with the black knob removed, spread the locking V-Band apart and let it drop off the bottom of the Dws. Carefully set it
aside.
6. lift the top half of the Dws off of the bottom half. Make sure that the black O-ring remains in place on the bottom half of
the housing.
7. remove the old filter cartridge from the top half of the housing by rotating it counter-clockwise (if facing the inside of the
top half of the housing).
8. Dispose of the used filter in your waste container.
9. rinse out the inside of the system housing, hand washing if necessary.
10. Inspect the black rubber cushion on the inside of the top half of the housing, making sure that it is not cracked or worn;
Multipure recommends that the cushion be replaced every two to three years.
