cleaned and re-used repeatedly. It should be

If you notice any changes in taste and/or
odor, this is also a good indication that the
Multi-Media Cartridge is in need of replace-
ment. To replace the cartridge please follow
the detailed steps found below:
1. Lift the lid assembly
o of the puried water
container. The source
water container and
cartridge assembly are
attached to this lid.
2. Un-screw the Car-
tridge from the Filter
Connecter on the bottom
side of the lid. Discard the used cartridge
as you would your normal trash. (Be careful
to remove the gasket from the threaded
end of the cartridge and save it for use with
the new cartridge.) Thoroughly wash the
system with ltered water. Be sure to clean
the entire system before installing a new
ltration cartridge.
3. Place the gasket (reserved in step 2)
over the threaded end of a new Multi-
Media Filtration Cartridge. Screw the
cartridge onto the Filter Connecter by
turning it clockwise (by hand only).
4. Flush the new cartridge by allowing
water to ow through the system until
it runs clear. This will remove any loose

nes are completely harmless new
cartridges should be ushed thoroughly
before use.
