Filter Replacement
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
this water filter are not necessarily in all users' water.
Filter life depends on local water conditions and the volume of
water used. We recommend you change the WHKF-GD05 filter
every 6 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a
drop in water pressure.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
Filter Cartridge Replacement Instructions
NOTE: Before changing cartridge, turn off or bypass incoming
water supply. Place a bucket under filter to catch the small
amount of water that will run out after housing removal.
1. Shut off water by turning valve on filter head to the "OFF" or
"BYPASS" position.
2. Unscrew housing and remove old cartridge. Wash housing
thoroughly with mild soap and water.
3. Insert new cartridge and re-install housing. Be sure cartridge
is seated in the housing before tightening onto head.
4. Use filter wrench to fully seat the cartridge. Tighten to make
a water tight seal.
5. Turn on water by turning valve on filter head to the "FILTER"
position. If any leaks appear, tighten housing as needed.
6. Flush system for five (5) minutes.
Troubleshooting Guide
Water Leaks at Fittings: Tighten slightly more until leak stops.
Water leaks at connections: Refer to section "Using Push-In
Fittings." Push pipe in as far as it will go. If leaking continues,
shut off water at the incoming valve and remove water line by
pushing in on the connector collar while pulling the pipe away.
Inspect pipe for cracks and scratches. If pipe is cracked or
scratched, simply cut that portion away and reinsert pipe into
fitting.
