life will vary depending on usage and water
conditions. At a minimum you must change the
filter cartridge annually for best results. You should

water being filtered; these changes indicate that the
filter cartridge should be replaced. You should also
change the filter cartridge as soon as possible after
a boil water advisory has been lifted. When replacing
the filter cartridge, you must use Everpure filter
model V-500. Failure to use the filter model specified
voids all claims and warranties made in this manual.
The system no longer qualifies as NSF certified if you
fail to use the model number indicated.

(EV9608-15)
C. Grasp the tip of the outlet tower (center, top of the cartridge
and pull out gently. The entire central plug with the long tube
attached will come out, leaving a hole.

the product water line and run water to drain until the smell
of chlorine is strong. Then immediately shut off the water
and wait a period of at least half an hour to allow adequate
disinfection time.

installation of chlorine.
