Setup and Installation

The EcoPure EPW2P filter is designed for easy installation into compatible whole home filtration systems. Refer to your specific filtration system's manual for detailed installation instructions, as the filter itself is a replacement component.

General Installation Steps (Refer to System Manual):

1. Turn off the main water supply to your home.
2. Relieve pressure from the existing filter housing.
3. Unscrew and remove the old filter cartridge.
4. Clean the filter housing thoroughly.
5. Insert the new EcoPure EPW2P filter into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly.
6. Screw the housing back into place, ensuring a tight seal.
7. Slowly turn on the main water supply, checking for leaks.
8. Flush the system as recommended by your filtration system's manufacturer to remove any air or carbon fines.

Operation

Once installed, the EcoPure EPW2P filter operates passively as water flows through your whole home filtration system. It continuously filters sediment, sand, dirt, and rust from your water supply.

Monitoring Performance:

• Observe water clarity: A noticeable decrease in water clarity or an increase in visible particles may indicate the filter is nearing the end of its life or is experiencing heavy sediment load.
• Water pressure: A significant drop in water pressure throughout your home can be a sign that the filter is clogged and requires replacement.

Maintenance

Filter Replacement:

For optimal performance and to ensure continuous protection of your plumbing and appliances, the EcoPure EPW2P filter should be replaced every three months. Filter life can vary depending on local water conditions and the volume of water used.

Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps in reverse to remove the old filter and install a new one.

Understanding Micron Levels:

Micron ratings refer to the size of particulates a filter can remove. The EPW2P filter has a 30-micron rating, effectively reducing sand, silt, and sediment.

• A higher micron rating removes larger particles.
• A lower micron rating removes smaller particles.
• The desirable rating depends on your water quality and how often you are willing to change filters.
• Homes with high amounts of sediment may experience quicker clogging with lower micron filters, requiring more frequent replacement.
