Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced water flow | Clogged filter cartridge | Replace the filter cartridge. |
| Water quality not improving | Filter cartridge expired or improperly installed | Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed. Replace if it has exceeded its lifespan (2,500 gallons or several months). |
| Filter unit does not hang securely | Incorrect handle used or faucet incompatibility | Try the alternative handle (flexible or standard). Ensure your faucet is compatible with the filter's design. |
| Sand/grit coming out of filter | Initial flush needed or normal operation | Run water through the filter for several minutes before first use. Small amounts of media may be normal initially. If excessive, check cartridge seating. |
