If a customer is not sure, we can either send this document along to them, or they can easily send us a photo of what they have which will allow us to determine the end configuration. The gasket material becomes important when you are dealing with something other than potable water. Typically, there will not be a gasket. In the case of this application, we determine the cartridge is a double open ended cartridge with no gasket.

You should plan on replacing/cleaning your cartridge filter at least once per year. If you have water with large amounts of sediment then the schedule may need to be modified to once every 6 or 3 months, possibly even every month! Plugged filter cartridges cause the flow and pressure of water to decrease, so that can be an indicator that your cartridge filter is in need of replacement. Replacing the filter is usually pretty simple. turn the water valves off before and after the filter unit. Next place a bucket under the filter cartridge unit and press the red pressure relief valve on the filter cartridge unit and a little bit of water will come out. Now you can grab the filter wrench and loosen the filter housing (clockwise when looking down on the filter from the top). Once loose, carefully spin the housing off and remove the filter cartridge. Clean the filter housing and install a new/clean filter cartridge and screw the filter housing back in place, tightening gently. You don&#;t need any teflon tape or pipe sealant since filter housings use o-rings-just make certain the o-ring is in its proper place and clean before reinstalling. Now turn on the inlet valve to the filter cartridge and then press the red pressure relief button to vent the air from the filter cartridge. Now turn on the final valve out to the house and run some water in your house. If you are installing a carbon block filter, there is one more step you need to take. Go inside the house and turn the water on and let it run for ~5 minutes. Many of the carbon block filters will release a small amount of the activated carbon and make the water look black for a bit. This is normal, just let the water run until it cleans up!
Many people like the convenience of using amazon or other online retailers to purchase their filter cartridges. The best deals are usually for large packs of 6 or 12 filters. Additionally, online stores like H20 Filter Warehouse and Freshwater Systems can offer good deals on cartridge filters!
