5.2. General Care:

• Keep the exterior of the RO system clean with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the system or filter.
• Ensure the system is placed in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your CrispTaste CRS-RS600-MRO filter or the overall RO system, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Low Water Flow: This could indicate a clogged filter. Check the filter life indicator on your system. If the filter is near or past its recommended replacement period, replace it. Ensure the water supply valve to the system is fully open.
• Unusual Taste or Odor: If water quality degrades after filter replacement, ensure the new filter was properly flushed according to the system's instructions. If the issue persists, the filter may be faulty or the system may require further inspection.
• TDS Readings Remain High: Ensure the filter is correctly installed and locked into place. If the filter is new and flushed, and TDS readings are still high, contact customer support.
• Filter Leakage: Ensure the filter is securely twisted and locked into its compartment. Check that the O-rings on the filter are intact and properly seated.
