Resetting the Filter Life Indicator:
After replacing the WD-G2CF filter, you must reset the filter life indicator on your RO system:

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues after installing your new filter, consider the following:
- Low Water Flow: Ensure the water supply valve is fully open. Check if the filter is correctly seated and twisted into place.
- Unusual Taste/Odor: Ensure the new filter has been flushed for the recommended 5 minutes to remove any carbon fines.
- Filter Indicator Not Resetting: Double-check the reset procedure, ensuring you hold the button for the correct duration and observe the light changes.
