Free Water Treatment Matching · All 50 States Mon–Fri · 9am–7pm ET Not an installer, a free matching service (888) 555-0163

Water Treatment Answers is a free service that connects homeowners with local water treatment and filtration companies. We are not a water-treatment company or installer, and we do not perform the work ourselves.

The short answer

Shut off the inlet valve and release pressure at the bypass, put a bucket under the housing, then unscrew the sump with the supplied wrench. Swap the cartridge, check the O-ring and lubricate it, then screw the sump back on. Open the valve slowly and check for leaks. Most changes take about fifteen minutes.
