4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for replacing your Everpure H-300 filter cartridge. Refer to your existing Everpure system's manual for initial system setup if this is a new installation.
Cartridge Replacement Procedure:
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the cold water supply valve to your Everpure system and turn it off completely.
- Depressurize System: Open the filtered water faucet to relieve pressure from the system. Allow water to drain until the flow stops.
- Remove Old Cartridge: Grasp the old cartridge firmly and twist it counter-clockwise approximately a quarter turn until it releases from the filter head. Pull the cartridge straight down and remove it. Some residual water may drip out.
- Prepare New Cartridge: Remove the protective cap from the new Everpure H-300 cartridge.
- Install New Cartridge: Align the new cartridge with the filter head. Push the cartridge up into the head and twist it clockwise approximately a quarter turn until it stops firmly. Ensure the cartridge is securely seated.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the cold water supply valve. Check for any leaks around the filter head.
- Flush the System: Open the filtered water faucet and allow water to run for at least 3-5 minutes to flush out any air and carbon fines. The water may appear cloudy initially; this is normal and will clear.
- Check for Leaks: After flushing, close the faucet and carefully inspect the filter connection for any leaks.

- Cartridge Replacement: The Everpure H-300 cartridge has a rated capacity of 300 gallons or should be replaced every 12 months, whichever comes first. Replacement frequency may vary based on water quality and usage. A noticeable decrease in flow rate is an indicator that the cartridge may need replacement.
