How to replace a water filter cartridge on your home water filtering system. This article covers how to change both filters on a Aquasana AQ4000 filter system.
Some of this information may be helpful with any brand of filter system. Unpack the replacement filter kit and check the contents. You should have 2 replacement water filter cartridges, A and a B. Two replacement O-rings. If the O-rings are not flat lay them out and see if they will flatten out on their own this may take over night. If this does not work, put a book on them over night. The reason is if the O-rings are bowed from shipping makes then harder to make a good seal.
The first step is to lay your home water filtering system on its side. You can see on the filter caps are labeled A and B. Also arrows that indicate which way to turn to loosen each cap. Turn filter cap A to the right to unscrew or the direction the arrow points. Filter cap B should unscrew to the left or the direction of the arrow. They should only be hand tight. If they are too tight to remove by hand use the handles of a pliers to give you a little extra leverage. Be careful not to do any damage to the inlet or outlet water lines.
Water filter cartridge A will be the most difficult to remove. The seal on the top of the filter holds the cartridge in place. There is not enough room in the filter housing to get a hold of it. I find it easy to use a pair of pliers to get a hold of the filter and twist and pull to it out. Water filter cartridge B will be attached to the filter cap. Simply twist and pull the two apart. I lay the filters at each side of the filter housing. This helps to keep track of which filter is A and B. Remove both o-rings make sure the grove where they sit in is clean. Now install the two new O-rings. Put a small amount of food grade silicone based lubricant on the exposed area of each O- ring. This helps when installing the filter caps. The oil lets the caps slide easy on the rubber, which will make them seal easier. Installing them dry may let them kink and dislodge resulting in a leak.
Replacement water filter cartridge A is the white one. Install it in the A cartridge housing with the O-ring end in first. Putting some water on the rubber seal makes it slide in easier. Give it a push and turn until it is seated. The B replacement cartridge is the blue one. Install the O-ring end into the filter cap. In the same manner as the other filter. At this point, I check the O-ring to make sure they are still in place. Then go ahead and install the B filter into the B housing. Screw the B cap until it is firmly seated. Now check the other seal and install the A cap until it is firmly seated.
Keep the filter system on its side, turn on the water and activate the diverter valve. Check around the cap threads for any signs of water. If there is a little leak, try tightening the cap a little more. If this does not seal the leak, then open up that cap and check the O-ring it may have came out of its seat. Check to make sure it is not cut or damaged. If it is, the old O-ring might reseal. The other option is take one of the old seals to your local hardware store and match it up. The other step if none of these ideas work is to order a replacement seal. Now you can be reinstalled the cap as described above and check for any leaks.
If you do not see, any leaks set the AQ-4000 up right and leave the water run for about 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear. The water at first may come out cloudy or even have a black color, this is normal. Carbon dust is being cleaned out of the new filter cartridges. I save the water that used to flush out the filter system. Houseplants like the water, or put it on plants out side. To keep track of when it will be time to reinstall your next set of water filters. Write the next replacement date on a piece of tape and put it on the filter. This helps to keep track of time. They should be replaced every 6 months or 500 gallons on your home water filtering system.

ZeroWater ZD-001 Filtration Pitcher with Electronic Tester, Filter Included Specifications With the ZeroWater Pitcher you can get cleaner, fresher water without tapping into your plumbing line, using bulky water coolers, and wasting your money on expensive bottled water. Thanks to an innovative five-stage filtration process, the ZeroWater Pitcher offers more complete water filtration than ordinary carbon filters. And for convenience, this pitcher neatly stores right in your refrigerator door.
This innovative, pitcher improves the taste and healthfulness of your tap water.
A five-stage filtration process works to thoroughly remove dissolved solids from water.
The included TDS meter ensures that you're getting the best-tasting water possible. View larger.
More Effective, Affordable, and Than Other Filters Even if you live in a municipality that cleans or treats water, water can pick up chemicals on its way from the treatment plant to your faucet, giving your tap water a metallic or chlorinated taste. Water that's purified with a ZeroWater Pitcher, however, tastes the way water should: crisp, clean, and fresh.
Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association and NSF International for removal of several minerals, ZeroWater is the only filtration system that fits the FDA definition of purified bottled water. And at a fraction of the cost of ordinary carbon filters.
The ZeroWater pitcher not only improves the taste of your tap water, it also helps to improve the environment. When you use the ZeroWater Pitcher, you'll reduce your use of plastic water bottles that clog up landfills and harm ecosystems. You'll also contribute to water conservation, because unlike reverse-osmosis systems, ZeroWater is gravity operated and doesn't waste electricity or water.
Five-Stage Filtration System for Water That Scores a Perfect "000" At the heart of every drop of water that's purified by a ZeroWater Pitcher is an independent, laboratory-calibrated water tester called a TDS meter. TDS stands for "Total Dissolved Solids" and represents the amount of dissolved substances that can negatively affect the way water tastes.
Unlike conventional gravity-fed or carbon water filters that remove only certain substances from your water, ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with Five-Stage Technology provides the only filtered water to measure an absolute "000" on the TDS scale, which means that 100% of dissolved solids have been completely removed.
To help put this in perspective, meter readings for tap water average between 075 and 300. Conventionally filtered water measures between 030 and 500, and bottled water measures between 000 and 350. Unlike the alternatives, with ZeroWater you can be sure you'll get 100% great-tasting water.
Battery-Powered Meter Makes it Easy to Test Your Water The beauty of the ZeroWater Pitcher is that you don't have to accept purity claims at face value. Test your water yourself with the included meter and watch as the zeros come together to ensure that you're getting the best-tasting water possible.Powered by two easy-to-replace 1.5-volt button cell batteries (included), this meter also lets you know the status of your filter. For instance, if your meter reads "006," it's time to replace the filter.
Sleek, Contemporary Design for Ease of Use This single-chamber pitcher features a sleek, patent-pending design that allows for easy storage in your refrigerator door. For added convenience, a handy dispenser at the bottom of the pitcher's handle allows you to access water without removing the pitcher from the fridge.
What's in the Box Pitcher, one filter, and one TDS meter.
Use the TDS meter to determine how many gallons of ZeroWater--water that measures an absolute "000" on the TDS scale--you will get per filter. View larger.
Discover the Basic Elements Needed in a Home Made Water Filter
Suppose that you are a student in the local Middle School. Suppose that your teacher has asked you to enter a project in the upcoming Science Fair. Unless you are a technical wizard, you do not want to try making a robot. You do not have enough time to observe the growth of plants, plants that have been subjected to different conditions. What should your project be? Fortunately, even those with limited engineering skills can, in a limited amount of time, construct a home made water filter.
Even a crude home designed one can demonstrate the concept behind the most sophisticated home water filter. Even a crude home made water filter can transform muddy, fowl-tasting water into clear, good-tasting water. The construction of a home made water filter offers an advantage not available to a budding scientist who decides to conduct a controlled experiment.
As long as the student/scientist uses the proper materials, the resulting filter should function almost perfectly. Granted, it will not be able to remove any bacteria that might be in the water. Aside from that, a home constructed filter can keep those who depend on that filter supplied with ready access to clean water.
A student who planned to make a crude sort of filter would first need to obtain a plastic bottle, a bottle with a cap that could be punctured. The student would also need a thin tube, such as a straw, cotton, large and small pieces of gravel, and bags of both coarse and fine sand.
At this point the student is almost ready to assemble a crude filter. Three other items should be added to the components in the filter. Those items are a coffee filter, a jar and some muddy water.
A filter must take-in water at one end and release filtered water at the opposite end. The student needs to remove the bottom from the plastic bottle, to insert a straw through a hole in the top of that bottle, and then to invert the entire apparatus (bottle and straw together).
The inverted bottle is inserted in the opening of the jar. Cotton should be the first item in the inverted bottle. On top of the cotton go a layer of fine sand, and then a layer of coarse sand. On top of the sand go a layer of small gravel, and then a layer of large gravel.
The student should cut the coffee filter to fit over the gravel. Once the coffee filter covers the gravel, then the student can pour muddy water into his or her crude filter.
The student has made a functioning home made water filter. That home made water filter should transform muddy water into clear water. Some instructions suggest that cotton does not hold-up well in the crude type of filter described above. Polyester quilt padding can be used in place of cotton.
Moreover, the home made water filter obtained by those who follow the above instructions does not have the ability to remove bacteria from the water. Those who want to drink the filtered water need to add a few drops of chlorine to that water.
There are special media that can be used to remove bacteria from water. In the absence of such media, a student might consider using the type of sponges found in commercial floor scrubbers. A pond enthusiast could thus make a useful home made water filter, one that could remove organic matter.
The pond enthusiast has special needs, needs not found in the typical home. In a typical home, the residents simply want a chance to enjoy clean, pure, great-tasting water. Activated carbon filters with ion exchange and micron filtration are the ideal components for a home filter.
While a home made water filter can never be classed as an ideal filter, it still brings the residents in a home closer to where they want to be. It facilitates the acquisition of water that can keep the residents safe from a majority of unwanted contaminants.
Of course, the ideal water filter, the one with activated carbon, would produce the safest type of drinking water.

Truth About Shower Filters For Copper and Chlorine - Are Chlorine Filters For Shower Heads Needed?
Shower filters for copper and chlorine provide health, as well as cosmetic benefits to everyone in your home. Chlorine filters for shower heads do not always target copper or other chemical contaminants, because some people think it is unnecessary.
But, the truth is that showering in chemical contaminants could be even more hazardous to your health than drinking them. During a bath, chemicals are absorbed through the pores of your skin. That's how medicated patches work.
So, those chemicals enter your blood stream even more quickly than if you drank a gallon of the same water. Chlorine filters for shower heads became popular first as a beauty aid.
Chlorine dries the skin and hair. It effectively changes the hair's natural color, because you are effectively bleaching your hair, every time that you take a bath without chlorine filters for shower heads.
Shower filters for copper and chlorine provide additional protection for the health and appearance of your hair, as well as improving the smell of the water. Copper has a very low toxicity. A child would have to swallow a number of copper pennies to suffer any truly ill effects. But, lead, on the other hand, is very toxic.
Shower filters for copper and chlorine also remove lead, so you and the kids are safer. No level of lead is safe for consumption, but it is found in the tap water of many homes across the country. It causes a variety of health problems including learning disabilities and brain damage.
Research suggests that high levels of lead in the bloodstream are linked to juvenile delinquency and behavioral problems. If you have kids, you need an effective water filter on your kitchen tap and shower filters for copper and chlorine in all of your bathrooms.
You can have your water tested, but unless you test on a daily basis, there is no way to be sure. Levels of lead found in water vary greatly from one day to the next. If the test is conducted after the water has been running for a while, the results will be inaccurate. The safest choice is to choose the tap water filter that removes the most contaminants and lead, copper, chemical and chlorine filters for shower heads around the house.
Let me get back to the cosmetic benefits for a moment. Copper can cause color treated hair to have a "green" tinge. Chlorine can cause color treated hair to turn orange. This is one reason that so many hair dressers recommend shower filters for copper and chlorine.
Depending on where you live the level of chlorine in the tap water may be higher than what is safe to swim in. Our "water quality" report showed that it was sometimes at 3.8 parts. They must keep it under 4.0 in order to pass EPA standards, but over 3.0 parts is not considered safe for swimming. So, of course, we have purchased chlorine filters for shower heads.
If you need more convincing, think about how your skin feels after a day at the pool. The first thing that you want is a shower. But, without shower filters for copper and chlorine, you are bathing in the same water that you just swam in. Hopefully, that gets my point across.

Reverse Osmosis Vs Pure Water Filter - Which is Better?
It has been established that a water purification system is imperative in keeping our drinking water safe for consumption. But which one is the best system? Is it reverse osmosis or water filters?
It is best to know how they individually work.
Reverse Osmosis
This follows much the same process as a membrane filtration system. However, there are a few differences you have to take into consideration. In membrane filtration system, visible particles are separated from clean water. In this type of filtration system, however, it involves a lot of factors such as the pressure in water, solute concentration and the rate of flux of water source. These factors will help separate the particles from the clean water.
It is called by such a name because the process is the opposite of the usual osmosis system. In the natural osmosis system, a natural movement of solvent is coupled with low solute concentration wherein in this one, solvents are forced in the membrane to effectively separate the particles.
Pure Water Filter
In this type of purification system, it uses a barrier to separate the sediments and the contaminants from clean water so the clean water can pass through the other side. There are various types of this filtration system including point-of-filters, screen filters, disk and slow sand filters to name a few.
So which is better? In many ways, water filters are better. This is because they are easier to install in your household and they are more accessible. You also have various options to choose from so you are not only getting rid of visible particles in H20, you are also getting rid of other contaminants such as pesticides, chemicals, chloramines and cycts.
Also, if you use one with a carbon filter, it can get rid of chlorine better. This is known to be effective in reducing chlorine smell and taste. But that also depends on the brand of filtration system you are using. One brand is not one and the same with the others. You also have to carefully ponder on your choices so you can find the most reliable one.
This is not to undermine the benefits of using reverse osmosis. Although they are not commonly used, they also help a lot in making your water safer to drink. So start searching now for the right type of purification system for your house. For sure you can find one that will really work for you.

This is a recent version of a PVC ram pump that I first developed in about 1991. It is very low profile to avoid damage during high water, and can run under water 24/7 since the air is separated from the water in the air chamber - no need for a snifter valve. This pump can raise water to a height at least 15 times the fall (drive head). Of course, the output tapers off the higher you pump. All of the components are very simple and inexpensive but have proven themselves over millions of cycles. This particular installation is to feed two slow sand filters under test in the house in the background. (See my other Ram Pump video for the updated version of this pump) www.appro-tec.com
