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.

It seems that natural disasters are more frequent and more devastating. Especially in recent years the number of large earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes, droughts, and it was amazing. The message is spread on a given day with pictures of the debris scattered neighborhoods, displaced and desperate crowds mobbing the food relief and trucks filled with water. While our modern technology has made life much easier for us, is the flip side, we are much moredepends on things "right". In other words, we are extremely vulnerable when our infrastructure in power, transport and the availability of goods is disturbed. It could happen almost anywhere with little notice.
As a risk reduction, most of us, some forms of insurance to protect our property and take care of medical bills, but many of us are not as willing to create an initial disaster and the need for bottlenecks occur in the early resistance to survive periods ofRecovery. Simple steps taken in this area can avoid a lot of problems later. One element that is crucial to sustain life, but is often in short supply, drinking water is easy. Bottled water is the first thing that comes to an end and the first item in the list of humanitarian goods, such as the human body can only survive about four days without water.
A simple device for water purification was developed and tested in countries where there are no modern water infrastructure and water trafficDecimate populations of bacteria. (Hundreds of people die every day from bad water quality). The device is a ceramic water filter cartridge and is an excellent opportunity for the availability of water in emergency situations at home to ensure it.
The ceramic water filter cartridge consists of a softball size, dome-shaped shell with a small amount of silver and contains a certain amount of active carbon coated. The dish has a small opening through the pores that allow water, butare too small for bacteria. Silver remains the growth of bacteria on the outside of the shell, and the charcoal absorbs chemicals in the water. A pre-filter outside, these filters can also be attached to larger particles of pollution if the source water comes from lakes or rivers.
Ceramic filters are NGOs in Third World countries used very effectively for many years. You can do almost any fresh water source, such as the use of inputsPonds or streams (so they are ideal for camping and off-grid life as well as emergency situations). The filters are usually two containers, one used to contain contaminated water at the top and the second to keep the water clean filtered down.
These cartridges can be used in gravity systems with easy buckets or barrels, that does not require electricity to operate will be built. Set with a standard 5 gallon bucket filters 12-15 liters per day. Add a siphon tubeIncrease this to more than 30 liters per day.
If desired, more water can be parallel to the container as a filter (a standard 5-gallon bucket holds up to three filters) related. Another method is to accelerate the flow of the system (air pressure or water pressure) for pressure. A simple bicycle pump and a tightly closed container, flow velocity increases significantly. Taller containers can also accelerate the flow by increasing water pressure.
The cartridges last3000-4000 gallons (6 to 8 months with regular use of gravity), life is essentially limited by the activated carbon in the filter. If filtered water is very dirty, it is possible that the filter becomes clogged, however, filters can be restored by rubbing gently with a non-soap flakes. Before use, the cartridge life is almost unlimited, if the cartridge in a container that holds to minimize air circulation.
Finally, theCeramic water filter cartridge is a great way to ensure the availability of drinking water even at the worst. They provide the bacterial and chemical filtration, from virtually any source of fresh water, without an external power source or additional chemicals. You also have the advantages of small size, low cost and unlimited. With a little 'fantasy can be used in systems that provide different amounts of water can be set anywhere from a dozen to hundreds of liters perDay
