3.2 Step-by-Step Replacement Process

Follow these steps to safely replace the 3rd-stage RO filter in your KFLOW-ROPOT-180 system:

1. Turn off the power and empty the water in the water tank. Ensure the system is completely powered down and depressurized before proceeding.
2. Pull up the filter compartment cover. Gently lift the cover to access the filter cartridges.
3. Hold the filter cartridge, lift it outwards, then rotate it to the left, and pull it down to remove it. The filter should detach with a quarter-turn counter-clockwise motion and a downward pull.

4. Filter Life Reset

After replacing a filter, it is essential to reset the filter life indicator on your system. There are two methods:

4.1 Auto Reset Mode

1. When all four color blocks of the filter cartridge indicator are off, it signifies that the filter needs replacement.
2. Replace the filter cartridge according to the operating instructions provided in Section 3.2.
3. Press the reset button for 5 seconds. The life of the filter cartridge will automatically reset after replacement.

4.2 Manual Reset Mode

1. If the color blocks of the filter cartridge are not all off but you wish to replace it (e.g., due to water quality concerns or scheduled maintenance).
2. Press the reset button for 3 seconds. The color block of the first filter cartridge will flash.
3. Click the water producing button to select the specific filter cartridge you have replaced. Then, click the reset button again to complete the reset for that filter.

5. Maintenance and Care

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your water filtration system, adhere to the following maintenance guidelines:

• Filter Replacement Cycle: The 3rd-stage RO filter typically requires replacement approximately every two years. However, this can vary based on the quality of your incoming water and usage volume. Monitor your system's filter life indicator for precise timing.
• Initial Flushing: After replacing any filter, it is recommended to flush the system by running water through it for several minutes (e.g., 10-15 minutes) to remove any air bubbles or loose carbon fines.
• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of your water filtration system with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Water Quality Monitoring: If you notice a change in water taste, odor, or clarity before the recommended replacement interval, consider checking or replacing the filters.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your RO filter system.

6.1 White Particles in Water After Filter Replacement

If you observe white particles floating in the water after replacing a filter, this can sometimes occur with new filters. It is often due to residual manufacturing dust or air bubbles. To resolve this:

• Flush the System Thoroughly: Run several gallons of water through the system after replacement. Continue flushing until the water runs clear and free of particles. This may require flushing for a longer duration than initially recommended.
• Check for Proper Installation: Ensure all filters are correctly seated and sealed according to the replacement instructions. Improper installation can lead to bypass or introduction of contaminants.
• Contact Support: If the issue persists after extensive flushing and verifying installation, contact customer support for further assistance.

6.2 Reduced Water Flow

If water flow significantly decreases, it may indicate a clogged filter. Check the filter life indicators and replace any expired filters. Ensure there are no kinks in the water lines.
