If you’re wondering how to replace your water filter cartridges and how to pre-flush, you’re in the right place. Water Filter Cartridges are easy to replace, and easy to flush.
Be it a Carbon block filter, sediment filter cartridge, or even fluoride removal; there’s a process you need to follow. To create the best tasting filtered water, please follow the IMPORTANT steps below to ensure there will be no issues with your water filter.
Instructions for Systems that use Fluoride Removal Cartridges
(See cartridge images included if required)
All Fluoride removal cartridges MUST be FLUSHED with flowing water inside your water filter for 10 minutes minimum with NO other cartridges installed before use.
Note: Your Fluoride Removal Cartridge is usually installed in positions 1 or 2 in your water filter.
- Remove all water filtration cartridges from inside your water filter, noting the position of each cartridge.
- Install the Fluoride Removal cartridge inside the water filter, with NO OTHER cartridges installed after the Fluoride Removal Cartridge.
- Turn on the water, and let water flow through the water filter to flush the Fluoride Removal cartridge for at least 10 minutes. (This water can be collected for plants if so desired).
- After flushing water through the Fluoride Removal Cartridge for 10 minutes minimum, turn off the water supply, turn on the drinking water filter faucet to release any water pressure.
- Remove the housings for any other cartridges you need to install. Install these cartridges in the same order & positions they were removed from. (See cartridge images included if required).
- Tighten all housings, turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
- Turn on the water filter faucet and flush the full system for a further 5 minutes with ALL cartridges installed.
Then you can use the filter.
Instructions for Systems that do not use Fluoride Removal Cartridges
- Install ALL replacement cartridges in your water filter in the same order and positions they were removed from. (See cartridge images included if required).
- Turn on the water and flow water through the water filter flushing all the cartridges simultaneously for at least 5 - 10 minutes minimum. (This water can be collected for plants if so desired).
Note 1:
All water filtration cartridges require flushing in some way. Fluoride removal cartridges MUST be flushed separately on their own, with NO other cartridges installed when new for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Note 2:
Some cartridges say THIS WAY UP, this is for Under Sink water filter systems. For Benchtop water filter systems, ENSURE the THIS WAY UP printed on the cartridge goes down into the base of the Benchtop water filter head cap. The washer end of the cartridges goes into the head caps.

INSTALLING CARTRIDGE POSITIONS - Undersink Systems
Look at the new cartridge and check if it has an inscription “This Way Up.” Be aware that “This Way Up” must face up into the spigot (water filter head cap) for the Under Sink Water Filter System.
If there is NO “This Way Up” on the cartridge, install the washer end of the cartridge up into the head cap.
INSTALLING CARTRIDGE POSITIONS - Benchtop Systems.
Look at the new cartridge and check if it has an inscription that says “This Way Up.”
Be aware - that This Way Up must face DOWN into the spigot (water filter head cap) for the Benchtop Water Filter System.
If there is NO “This Way Up” on the cartridge, install the washer end of the cartridge down into the head cap.
“This Way Up” for a Benchtop Water Filter means the up direction must go down into the head cap of the Benchtop Water Filter, or the water will not flow.
