IMPORTANT NOTE: We highly recommend that you periodically check for leaks at least 48 hours after performing a filter change. Placing a baking sheet lined with some paper towels under the system for a few days allows you to quickly see if any problems develop. If a leak appears, please unscrew and then reattach your new filter(s) using the process described above. If the problem persists, please contact our Customer Service Department at 877-534-5837, extension 5.
After a filter change, it is normal for water to appear milky or cloudy. Additionally, some small participles (called "filter fines") may appear. These effects are NOT harmful to you, your family or the system. Your water will return to normal within a few days once the filters have fully purged all the air out of the system.
