Locate the main water supply valve and turn it off to isolate your home’s water line. Open a faucet downstream to drain remaining water and relieve pressure in the pipes.
3. Cut and Prepare Pipes
Using a pipe cutter, carefully cut the main water line where you plan to install the filter housing. Deburr the cut ends to ensure a clean connection. Wrap Teflon tape around the threaded fittings to ensure a watertight seal.

Keep a record of the installation date and replacement schedule to track when it's time for a change.
In addition to cartridge replacement, inspect the housing for leaks and clean the exterior periodically with a damp cloth. Once a year, consider doing a more thorough check of your entire system, including the plumbing connections, to ensure everything is functioning properly. If you notice any unusual noises, odors, or changes in water taste, investigate promptly. Regular upkeep not only prolongs the life of the filter but also helps maintain the quality of your home's water supply.
