• Quick Change | 5 Stage RO/DI 12 Month Water Filter Cartridge Replacement Pack (1-11EQ5-12M-DI)

  • Stage 1- 1x 1uM Dirt Sediment Filter (ST-01)
  • Stage 2- 1x GAC Filter (ST-33) 
  • Stage 3- 1x 5uM Carbon Block (ST-CTO)
  • Stage 5- 1x Mixed Bed Deionising Resin (DI) (GT4-55-DI) (For RO/DI Systems Only)

  Stage 1: The 1 Micron Sediment Cartridge (2-46-1 ST-01) (Replace Every 6 Months)

  The first stage is a 1 Micron (uM) Sediment filter composed of 100% melt-blown polypropylene fibre. This cartridge helps to help protect the carbon pre-filters and reverse osmosis membrane from physical damage caused by particulate matter such as sand, dirt, silt, plant spores, and pollen. Physical contaminants such as these (which can surprisingly be found in most municipal water supplies), tend to clog up filter system components causing reduced water flow, lower osmotic pressure, diminished filtration efficiency, and ultimately, inferior water quality. Changing this filter every 6 months is vital!

  Stage 2: The Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Pre-Filter Cartridge (4-55-GAC ST-33) (Replace Every 6 Months)

  The second stage is a high-grade granular activated carbon pre-filter. This type of loosely-packed carbon enables a high level of water flow through the system, whilst "taking the first hit" to absorb harmful organic chemicals and contaminants. Keeping up with regular maintenance of this pre-filter (changing it every 6 months) helps to extend the life of all filters that come after it, including the reverse osmosis membrane.

  Stage 3: The 5 Micron Coconut Carbon QC Cartridge (4-55-CTO ST-CTO) (Replace Every 12 Months)

  The third stage is a 5-micron high-grade coconut carbon block pre-filter. Similar to the GAC filter, but with a unique carbon block matrix for maximum surface area and contact time, this special carbon cartridge takes the biggest load of contaminant removal, prior to the membrane. Replace every 12 months.

  Stage 5: (For RO/DI Systems Only) The Mixed Bed Deionising Resin (DI) Water Filter Cartridge For Demineralised Water, Low EC, Max Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Reduction (GT4-55-DI) 

  Creates RO/DI water for Dental, Medical, Cosmetic, Gardening, Hydroponic, Aquaponic, Aquarium & Brewing applications & not recommended for drinking without remineralisation. Depending on how much water you use, you may wish to change this cartridge on a 6-monthly basis. The final stage features a Virgin Mixed Bed Deionising Resin, composed of highly purified acid cation and base anion resin that creates a higher level of purity than using RO filtration alone. Note that the higher the TDS of the incoming feedwater, the higher the residual percentage of TDS that will be left post-filtration by the RO. Thus, the purpose of the DI filter is to "polish" the water and pick up any residual TDS (salts) left. This cartridge produces consistent results where the highest quality of pure water is required, with minimum ionic and non-ionic contamination.

Instructions for Changing your Filters at Home:

Recommended Tools Required: A towel for mopping up spills.

If you have the H1-302B Smart Monitor System (which features a micro-computer and filter alarm - pictured below), please note the following before commencing the filter change:

• • You shouldn't need to turn the power supply off when you change the filters.
  • The H1-302B system will beep:
    • When the system is alarming for a filter change. When this happens the filter replacement light will begin to flash, and the alarm will sound. Each time water production starts, the alarm will sound for 1.5 minutes. This will occur every time until the filter reminder has been reset.
    • If you get the leak detector sensor wet. If this occurs, use a towel to mop up excess water and dry off the sensor probe at the back of the unit. Once dried completely, the alarm will stop.
      
      
  • The H1-302B system display will show "SAC" when you turn the water supply off.
  • The H1-302B system display will show "FSH" when you turn the system back on. When this happens, the system will flush the membrane for 2 minutes, after which point the system will start to produce RO and the smart monitor display will show a TDS value for a few minutes.
  • When the tap is opened and the pressure drops below 35 psi, the system has a delay before it will start to produce water again. Likewise, when the system is full, there will be a slight delay before the valve shuts off. This ensures the system doesn’t frequently turn on/off.

Otherwise if you have the H1-EQ5 system, please disregard the above and follow the below instructions:

• Shutting off the water: There are 3 things you need to do in this step.

  • Firstly, locate your inlet tee valve which connects water to your system, and shut this off by turning the tap 90°.

  • Secondly, you will need to shut off the storage tank valve located on top of the storage tank.

  • Finally, to relieve pressure in the system, open the drinking water faucet tap on the sink.

    
• Changing the Quick Change Cartridges
  • Before changing filters, we recommend taking a photo of the system, then one by one, changing the cartridges. This will help you remember the sequence of the filters and will save you time as opposed to trying to put it all back together from scratch.
  • Unscrew the first filter to be changed (a clockwise motion will unscrew the filter), and then install the new replacement with an anti-clockwise twisting motion until the filter is securely in place. Use a towel to mop up any spills.
• Turning the Water Back On:
  • With the faucet still open, start by turning on your inlet water only (point 1) (leave the tank tap turned off for the moment), which will force water back into the system. You will likely hear some sputtering out the faucet tap while the system purges air. During this period, inspect the filter system and check for leaks. If you find a leak, shut off the water, address the issue and turn the water back on. The water will eventually begin to flow out the tap as a slow trickle, and may notice some black water, which is normal as the filters begin to flush. Once you feel the system has purged most of the air, close the faucet tap, turn the water storage tank on (point 2), then re-open the faucet on the sink and allow all the water to run down the sink, to flush the post filters and clear excess air from the system. Once the system has "run out" of water, turn off the faucet tap, allow the system to re-fill fully (1-2 hours), and empty the tank fully. Repeat this tank flushing process again. If you still have air (which will look like cloudy water but will settle) you may need to run one more tank full of water through the system and then it will be good to go.
    
    
• Resetting Reminders (ONLY ON THE H1-302 SMART MONITOR SYSTEM)
  • When the filters have been replaced, hold down the “ZERO” Button for two seconds until you hear 2 beeps. The filter replacement light will shut off and the timer will reset.
