Total time required approx. 30-45 minutes

1. Turn off water supply via Inlet valve on 3

valves by pass.

Relieve pressure by opening mains cold water

tap after Scaleout unit.

2. Remove both red clips as pictures right.

3. Remove inlet connector and also connector to

Post Filter.

Be aware there will be water spillage from these

connections.

4. With unit free of inlet and outlet connections,

it should look as picture right?

5. Insert white gripper (supplied) and refix red

clip.

6. Undo head applying pressure anticlockwise to

remove head from bottle.

Extra pressure may be required i.e. rubber or

wooden mallet.

Please DO NOT USE a metal hammer.

7. Remove head complete with internal tube. Be

aware of slight water spillage here.

8. Empty spent media. This can be disposed of

safely with your normal household rubbish.

Rinse out bottle with cold water. Remove central

grey tube from the head and place back in the

grey tube. This is to stop new media entering

and causing damage downstream on the

Scaleout.

Gently pour new media into the bottle using a

funnel if possible (not supplied)

9. Clean top of vessel where head ‘o’ ring joins

for seal and apply a small amount of Vaseline to

‘o’ ring and head seal area to help the heads

main ‘o’ ring to seal.

Screw head on to bottle clockwise after carefully

sliding the yellow ‘basket’ over the grey tube.

When you are engaging the first threads of the

head into the bottle, you may feel a slight

resistance. This is normal as it is the grey tube

engaging with the heads internal ‘o’ ring to seal.

minutes with no water being used. This allows

the resin to acclimatise to your local water

conditions.

Step by step guide to change SPF10 cartridge

A. Turn water supply off to unit. This can be the inlet valve on the bypass set, or better still the

mains stop cock as it is recommended to use this valve once a year to ensure it does not

seize when needed in an emergency.

B. Open a cold mains tap downstream of the Scaleout to relieve the pressure inside the unit.

C. Using the spanner provided, slide it up the filter bowl to engage the notches on the top of

the bowl or the large nut – depending on the model below.

D. Turn the spanner clockwise (to the left (remember ‘lefty loosey, righty tighty’) to undo the

bowl/spanner. It is recommended to hold the housing head to prevent undue stress on

other parts of the system/unit. It might be a very tight connection here but clockwise is the

only way the spanner must be turned to undo this connection.

E. Remove the old cartridge and dispose in your household rubbish.

F. Clean inside of bowl with clean wet cloth.

G. Place new cartridge inside bowl ensuring that the centre female orifice of the cartridge slides

over the main part in the bottom of the bowl.

H. Grease ‘o’ ring on the housing using a food grade grease or Vaseline.

I. Ensure new cartridge fits over male part protruding down in the top of the filter unit head.

J. Tighten bowl/nut to seal.

K. Slowly open inlet valve/mains stop cock and allow water to run for 2-3 minutes.

L. Close mains tap that was previously opened.

M. Check for leaks.
