- Many households are installing water filters
to assure they have clean drinking and cooking
water. A popular under sink filtration
system option for homes is the under sink water
filter. It takes up space in the cabinet under
the sink but is still conveniently out of the
way. Like all filter systems, it will require
occasional maintenance, and replacing the filter
is a simple procedure says filter systems

- Gather Your SuppliesYou do not need many
tools. A filter wrench is recommended by filter
systems Australia to make removing the canister
housings easy. The housings can be removed by
hand or with another tool if a filter wrench is
not available. Towels or something else absorbent
is also recommended to wipe up any water that
drips. New O-rings may be needed, so it is good
to have those on hand as well. You will also need
a pressure gauge and an air pump of some sort. A
bicycle pump will work fine. Of course, you will
also need your under sink water filter.

- Turn Off the Water SupplyBefore removing any
parts, turn off any valves that allow water to
flow. Start with the valve that supplies water to
the cabinet. If you have a tank, turn off the
tank valve next. Also turn off any valves on the
lines or pipe that connects your filter systems
Australia.Bleed the LinesNext, bleed the
lines to reduce water pressure and let out as
much water as you can. The easy way to do this is
to turn on the faucet that connects to the water
system and let the water flow out. Turn the
faucet back off after the water stops flowing.

- Change the Sediment FilterIf you have
multiple cartridges in your system, the first
cartridge is the sediment filter. Turn the
cartridge housing to the left to loosen the
housing. Remove the housing carefully since there
will still be some water inside. Remove the
sediment filter and pour out the remaining water.
Rinse the housing if there is still sediment at
the bottom. Wash benchtop water purifier?, if it
still looks dirty. Inspect the O-ring in the top
of the housing. Replace it if it is damaged. If
it seems dirty, clean it following the
manufacturers instructions. Place the new
sediment filter inside the housing. Screw the
housing back onto the bracket. Tighten the
housing until it is snug, but not so tight that
the O-ring is over-compressed.

- Change the Carbon FilterNearly all filters
have carbon filters. If you have one filter on
your system, it will probably be a carbon filter.
If you have more, the filters after the first are
likely to be carbon filters. The method for
changing the carbon filter is almost the same as
changing the sediment filter. Follow the same
instructions until you get to the carbon filter
removal from filter systems Australia. This time,
you will need to inspect the filter cartridge.

- The filter should have O-rings at each end of
the cartridge. Make sure they are not still in
the housing. If they are, when you place the new
filter in the housing, there will be too many
O-rings and the housing and cartridge will not
fit. This could make your system leak and not
filter correctly. Take note of the orientation of
the carbon filter. Some will have a specific up
and down end depending on the filter system. If
there is an O-ring in the housing, remove it.
Inspect the O-ring on the top of the housing like
before and pour out the water. Remove the
wrapping from the new carbon filter and place it
in the housing in the correct orientation.
Replace the housing and tighten until snug.
