System Components
Pre-filter
The pre-filter (see figure 5) removes particles and sediment as small as
5 microns in size from the water supply. The pre-filter requires
periodic replacement every 6 to 12 months after installation. Your
water quality and water usage may affect this replacement schedule.
Please refer to the chart on page 8 for replacement part numbers.
Membrane Cartridge
The membrane cartridge (see figure 5) is a spiral wound, semi-
permeable cartridge that requires periodic replacement approximately
every 18 months after installation. Your water quality and water usage
may affect this replacement schedule. Please refer to the chart on page
8 for replacement part numbers.
Post-filter
The post-filter (see figure 5) will remove unwanted tastes and odors
from the water. The post-filter requires periodic replacement every 6
to 12 months after installation. Your water quality and water usage
may affect this replacement schedule. Please refer to the chart on page
8 for replacement part numbers.
