What To Do
• Turn on the filtered water faucet and allow these harmless
carbon particles to purge from the cartridge. Turn off the
faucet when the water is clear.
• Will go away after water runs for a while.
• Replace filter cartridge.
• A slower flow (approx. 0.6 g/min.) is normal with this style of
filter. If flow rate is unacceptable replace the filter with one that
does not have an integral flow restrictor.
• A six-month change-out period is recommended.
Replace filter cartridge.
• High sediment levels can cause premature clogging.
Replace filter cartridge.
• Fully follow the installation instructions (page 7) and be sure
the tubing is installed to the proper depth.
• Examine the end of tubing (approx. 1 inch) for defects such
as scratches, grooves, roundness, etc. Trim tubing and fully
reinstall.
