Installing Your ULTRAPURE 0.5 m Ceramic Water Filtration Cartridge i. Clear any items out of the way to ensure you have
a safe clear area to work,
with no trip hazards or electricity that could create harm. 2. Turn off the water supply at the T-Piece up under the sink or the sink taps for a bench top model. 3. Turn on the faucet to release any water in the line which will remove the pressure on the water filter system.
4. Lay a towel down to soak up any excess water and to create a better surface to wrork from.
5. Once the pressure has vented from the system place the cartridge tool over the housing for the cartridge you want to replace. 6. With the correct posture in mind as required, turn the housing anti clockwise to crack the seal. Once the housing seal is loose you can simply unscrewr the housing by hand. (The ceramic cartridges can crack so please treat them like
you would an egg l. 7. Remove the housing and throw away the old cartridge. You can wrash out the housing as required with 2 to 3 tablespoons of bleach or a sterilizer of your choice, flush well with water after doing so.
8. Remove the O-ring from the housing and wipe it clean, lightly lubricate the O-ring with silicon grease or olive oil. Replace the O-ring into the slot and press
into place. 9. Insert the newr caruidge into the housing - For a under sink it says this way up. - For a bench top water filter, the end with the hole which says this way up goes dowrrL 10. Ensure the end of the ceramic cartridge with the open hole fits nicely into the housing cap standpipe, tighten securely with the housing tool.
11. Ensure you dry the housing and area surrounding then turn on the water supply slowly. Check for leaks, if no leaks the system is ready to move forward hut if you detect a leak repeat from above and fix the leak. 12. Turn on the water supply and flush the cartridge for 10 to 15 minutes, this water may he used on the garden. 13. After a further 12 hours flush again for a further 3 minutes and the water filter is good to he used. 14. For a cartridge containing carbon it is normal to see blackish water at first hut this will pass quite quickly, you may also find the first glasses of water may look quite milky, this is only oxygen that is released from the carbon which is perfectly safe to drink and will subside after a few days. 15. If you do not use your water filter for 5 days it is recommended that water he run to waste for 2 to 3 minutes before drinking.

Changing Filters System Description Your filter Housing consists of two main parts: A. The Head or Cap - water flows in and out of this section. E. The Sump - this contains the Filter Cartridges and is designed to seal the cartridge at the top and the bottom. These tivo parts are called a Housing when connected together and will loe connected to a bracket.

Release the pressure from the system, by opening the filter tap on the sink to the on position, some water may come out initiaCy then the flow will stop. You can leave the filter tap open wMe servicing.
Undoing the Housings - Removing the Sump Slide the plastic housing spanner over the bottom of the sump. It is best to lay the system down, this allows you to achieve a better grip. Loosen the sump by turning it in from right to left (front view) this may require you to remove it from the wall if mounted. Lift the system up and off the bracket.
NOTE: The housings are iuT of water. Stand them upright after loosening if working in the cupboard. It is advisable to lay the housings down in the sink when opening the rest of the way to allow the water to drain out. Drain the housings and remove the cartridges.

Clean and inspect the Housings Remove the rubber circular 0-rings from the Sump using a pointed object. Be careful not to pierce or cut the O-ring. Inspect the Housing for any fine lines or visible crack. Check around the inside and outside at the bottom of the Sump and threads of the Sump and the Cap/Head and the inlet and outlets. Ifamy fine cracks are visible replace the housing immediately Rinse the housing and fill about 1/3 with water. Add 2 tablespoons of bleach and scrub inside with dishwashing brush. Rinse thoroughly with tap water before moving on to the O-ring replacement phase.
Important: Turn off the Water supply before attempting to open, Before commencing this operation. this ensure that you are able to turn off the water supply to the filtration system anti that you are aware of the location of the mains water tap also in case you need to turn off the whole house supply in an emergency It would he helpful to have a towel and sponge to mop up any small spills that may occuryou will require the housing spanner supplied with your system

Inspect and Reseat the O-Rings If replacing (he existing O rings insert the new O ring. Hhot replacing, wipe the existing O ring clean and apply a thin coating of food grade silicone lubicrant or clean Vaseline petroleum jelly. Reseat the O-ring bach into the Sump and press it into the groove. Ibis step is important to ensure proper filter seal Mahe sure the O ring is seated level in the groove by running )tjur finger around the top of the O ring.
NOTE: When opening the filter housing to change the cartridge, the O-ring may lift out of the housing and stick to the cap. O-rings are not all the same so they may not fit if the original housing was not supplied fcy My Water Filter. CAUTION: If the O-ring appears damaged or crimped it should he replaced at this time. Most manufacturers recommend replacement every year.
Replacing the Filters Single Filters -ULTRAFLRI 0.5 Ceramic Twin Filters - The Prer-filter is the first stage of the filtration process The Post LLTRAPURE 0.5 Ceramic filter is the second-'last stage of the filtration process Triple Filters - The Prer-filter is the first stage of the filtration process The Post ULTRAPURE 0.5 Ceramic filter is the second The Third Filter - last stage of the filtration process
ULTRAPURE O.oin Ceramic Filter The ULTRAPURE Ceramic cartridge does not require replacement every year. Ifin a non-change cycle this filter can be removed and scrubbed clean with a scotch-brite style nylon scourer or kitchen brush, (that has not been in contact with food) Scrub while holding under cold running water until it is a clean off-white colour. Take care not to drop this filter, visually inspect the exterior to ensure there are nor fine cracks oipitted areas. It is recommended that this filter be replaced every 2 years under normal conditions. Longer periods can be obtained dependant upon conditions. If in doubt, contact the My Water Filter staff and they will be happy to aduse you. When replacing the filters including the ULTRAPURE Ceramic, ensure that they are placed in the Sump so you can see the manufacturer's written label as you replace the Head.
Standard Pre-Filters A standard pleated oipoly-spun sediment filter requires changing annually and cannot be scrubbed clean. The}' are unable to remove bacteria. My Water Filter recommends the ULTRAPURE Ceramic as a far superior choice.
Post Filters Remove any plastic wraping from the cartridge and insert it into the housing sump. Screw the housing sump onto the cap and hand-tighten IX) NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. You can give it a small nudge with the plastic housing spanner to further tighten slightly. Over tightening causes the O rings to flatten and makes rescaling the unit more difficult. When you first turn on the water you may see some gray/black colouring this is just the carbon fines, carbon dust and is completely non-toxic.
Turn Water On and Flush System Turn on the water supply slowly to allow (he housing to fill with water. Check for leaks. Let the system run for a few minutes to allow air to displace. Please note that the apperance of tiny air bubbles may appear in you water for a few days after the cartridge change. These air bubbles may make the water appear milk}- but (hey will disperse from the glass and in no way affect the quality of your drinking water. Website: v/ww. mywaterfilter.com.au Email:
