Whole Home Filtration - Leak

Leak at installation fitting where it is screwed into housing:

• Ensure thread tape is good quality and wrapped at least 3 turns, thread tape should be wrapped in a clockwise direction, looking at the fitting from the threaded end.
• Do not use joint / pipe seal compound; it will contaminate the plastic fittings.

 

Leak at Sump:

• A sump wrench is required to fully seat sump with some types of filters.
• Check O-Rings on top of sump for dirt or damage, clean or replace if needed.
• To tighten sump, turn off water supply, push RED button on top of housing to releive pressure, then use sump wrench to tighten sump.

 

Leak at Red Pressure Relief Button: 

• There may be a small amount of debris on the O-ring that seals the button. Depress the release button several times to remove this dirt from the O-ring.
• Turn off the water feeding the filter and remove the sump to clear this debris.

 

Note: Some noise is normal upon start up after a filter change, if noise persists remove filter and reinstall.
