Do I need to remove to the filter prior to descaling equipment?
Yes, remove filter prior to descaling and inspect for integrity if needed replace with a new
filter.
Why are there black specks in the water or why does my water taste
funny?
Water filters are made from the purest carbon blocks. When the filter ships it bounces around and
knocks carbon granules loose from the block. These little carbon granules are called fines. All of
the quality filters in the market place require a preliminary flushing to remove the carbon fines
Some systems may need to be flushed more than once. This is especially true if you have scale or
lime water. If you go on vacation and do not use your filtered water for several days, flush the
systems again to remove any stagnant water.
If I do not change my filter every 2 months, can this damage the
system?
Yes, you must replace the filter every 2 months or sooner if water flow is reduced or if there is
heavy sediment/rust present Filters left in longer will fatigue, degrading filter performance.
