Installing the Filter

This filter is designed for refrigerators with automatic ice makers and plumbed coffee makers and water coolers with ¼" outside diameter copper or plastic tubing.  It connects to your water line and refrigerator with ¼” quick connect fittings. The arrow indicates the direction of water flow.  To install, simply push the ¼” plastic or copper tubing firmly into the fitting until it bottoms. To remove the tubing, push down on the outer ring of the quick connect fitting and then pull the tubing out of the fitting.  After installation, run the filter for several minutes to remove the fine carbon particles. You may want to flush the cartridge into a pail before connecting the output to the refrigerator.

Operating Tips

You should run the water several minutes if you haven't used the filter over night, or after returning from a trip.

The filter should be run at 1 gallon a minute or less for maximum chlorine removal.  Any faster will reduce the removal percentage.

If you move, or disconnect your filter and store it, always keep water in the cartridge to prevent damage to the media.

Replacing the GAC Inline Cartridge

To replace your inline filter, order part number IL-GAC for $17.95, supplied without the fittings.  To remove the tubing from your old filter, push down on the outer ring of the quick connect fitting and then pull the tubing out of the fitting.  Unscrew the fittings from both ends, and install on the new inline filter cartridge.  Then re-install by pushing the tubing into the quick connect fitting until it bottoms.  Run for several minutes to remove the carbon fines from the new GAC cartridge, and check for leaks.

Operating Specifications and Warranty Information

Maximum water pressure is 100 PSI and maximum operating temperature is 100 F.

The GAC cartridge has a 1-year warranty, prorated at $1.65 per month of usage.

This warranty does not cover damage due to abuse, neglect, freezing, fire or other fortuitous event. No allowance is made for the consequential damage, labor or expense incurred as a result of a proven defect.

Our filters are not warranted against sediment clogging. If the flow rate is significantly reduced, clogging is most likely. You can try to back-flush the filters by reversing the fittings on the housing to temporarily reverse the water flow.
