TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM:
The water ow from my in-line shower lter has been ne but has suddenly
changed and less water seems to be owing from the showerhead.
REMEDY:
When water pressure drops suddenly, follow these Filter Cartridge Back
Flush Instructions: Occasionally, you may notice reduced water ow through
your shower lter. This is normal in areas with high levels of sediment in
the water supply or if your water is supplied by private well. This reduced
ow is easily remedied.
Your Culligan
shower lter cartridge has a life of 10,000 gallons,
®
estimated to be 6 months depending on household usage. If you notice a
ow reduction within this period of time, open your shower head according
to the Cartridge Change Procedure contained in this manual.
With the showerhead open, remove the lter cartridge, and ip the
cartridge over front to back. Replace the cartridge in this new orientation
and then replace the cap and tighten. Move out of the path of the water
and then turn the shower on. You may notice discolored water coming from
the showerhead for a brief time. This is the built up sediment that was
clogging the screens in the cartridge and causing the ow reduction. The
lter cartridge is reversible and may be used in either direction. Once you
have completed this procedure, your cartridge will continue to supply clear,
clean water for the full 10,000 gallons.
Caution: Filter must be protected against freezing which can cause cracking
of the lter and water leakage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives
such as chlorine bleach, cleaning uids or abrasive pads to clean the
showerhead.
Warning: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. Do
not pull on showerhead or use showerhead or shower arm for support. The
contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment device may not necessarily be in your water.
