Filter Cartridge Replacement Procedure

IMPORTANT: Determine whether all equipment connected to

the OneFlow

®

system must be turned off prior to shutting off

water supply from filters.
1. If required, turn off equipment.
2. Turn OFF water to OneFlow

®

system by closing Inlet Ball

Valve.

3. Press the red button to release pressure.
4. Remove housing(s) - use filter wrench if necessary.
5. Clean inside of housing sumps with warm water. If desired,

disinfect housings using a teaspoon of household bleach.

Add to filter bowl and fill with water. Let stand 5 minutes,

and then discard.

6. Insert new cartridges into filter housings. Match cartridge

model numbers to model numbers on bracket.

7. Make certain the O-ring is properly positioned and reinstall

filter housings (hand tighten only). Check O-ring for damage

and replace if damaged or distorted.

8. Slightly open the inlet ball valve; push the red pressure

relief button to release trapped air until a small amount of

water comes out - release the red button and fully open

the ball valve.

9. Open the flush valve downline from the filter housing (if

equipped) and flush the new cartridges to drain or bucket

for two (2) minutes or until water runs clear. If no flush valve

is present, disconnect line from equipment to flush to drain.

10. VERY IMPORTANT: With water supply inlet valve OPEN and

water flow confirmed, turn on connected equipment. Failure

to supply water to equipment may cause serious damage.

11. Record filter change on the service log.

Maintenance

Routine maintenance of your OneFlow

®

system involves periodic

filter cartridge changes and/or replacement of sump O-rings.

If the system sizing recommendations have been followed, the

OneFlow

®

system will provide a six (6) month filter replacement

interval on most tap water for the OF140RC cartridge. The One-

Flow

®

Cartridge OF140RM should last one year.

Filter Change Frequency

The filters should be changed in response to the following conditions.
OF140RC

• 6 months since installation or last filter change.

• Reduced water flow.


OF140RM

• 12 months since installation or last filter change.

If filter change frequency is less than 6 months due to pressure

drop, it may be necessary to add additional prefiltration or evaluate

system sizing recommendations.

Operation

With sufficient pressure, operation of the OneFlow

®

system

is completely automatic. Dependable operation involves only

monitoring of outlet pressure, periodic filter changes and service

documentation.
