Maintaining Your Purefecta Drinking Water Purifier
Filter Changes
If you open your drinking water tap and don't get any water, or only get a small
stream, it could mean one of two things: your storage tank is out of water and
the system is purifying more water, or your MACguard Filter has shut off.
Check your system's PureMometer to see if the MACguard Filter has shut off.
Periodically checking the PureMometer could alert you of upcoming filter
shutdown before it happens. If the MACguard Filter has not shut off, wait an
hour or two, and try to draw water from the tap again.
How long a MACguard Filter will last depends on your drinking water usage.
It could last anywhere from a few months to a few years. An average family
of four with average drinking water use can expect the cartridge to last
approximately nine months to one year. Replace cartridges annually even if
your system has not shut off.
When your MACguard Filter does shut off, call your local, authorized Kinetico
dealer. They will change your cartridges, completely sanitize your system,
check your water and make sure your system is operating properly. Never
attempt to remove any cartridges without first depressurizing the system.
Attempting to sanitize your system and change the filters yourself may result
in contamination from human contact and damage to your system. Maintenance
is best left to qualified water professionals trained in the proper procedures
and who have the necessary tools and sanitizing solutions.
Shutting Off the System
If you should ever discover a problem with your drinking water purifier, turn
off the water supply to the system. Then call your local, authorized Kinetico
dealer for service.
NOTE: The Purefecta Drinking Water Purifier's operational, maintenance and replace-
ment instructions must be followed to ensure proper system performance. Recommended
hardness is zero to 10 gpg (171 ppm) for extended product life. If you plan to be away
from home for more than a few days, shut off the water supply to your system to extend
its life. You may also want to drain the drinking water storage tank upon your return to
ensure the freshest water.
