Installation, cleaning and replacement

The Coldstream FTO PLUS filter elements are easy to install, use and clean. Priming is not required and no additional filters are needed to remove fluoride. Before installation, just rinse the outside briefly under the cold tap and, if necessary, sand lightly with an abrasive sponge to remove all production dust.

We recommend cleaning the Coldstream FTO PLUS filter elements once a month, as well as the containers and other parts of your water filter. Then again, rinse the exterior under the cold tap and, if necessary, lightly scour with a scouring pad.

Every six months, you should replace them.

Installation
Follow the roadmap below:
1. Take the filter element and place rubber ring on the stem.
2. Insert the handle through a hole in the top tray.
3. Tighten the wing nut on the underside of the upper tray. If you feel resistance, that is enough. Do not overtighten. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for any other filter elements.
4. Seal any remaining holes with blocker plugs.
5. Place the upper tray on top of the lower tray.
6. Fill the upper container with water and allow the water to drain. We recommend discarding the first 2 cycles (with new filter elements)!
