How do I install the new replacement filter? The unit is stuck shut probably due to hard water.

The filter housing could be opened by hand...but if you have a hard time opening it, try to wrap cloth around the housing, then use a wretch to open it

Unscrew the system off. Take out the filter drain the water and reinstall. If that doesn't help call waterchef customer service they are Greta they helped me install mine

I don&#699;t bother changing just the filter. Since the filters alone usually cost about $60 and a brand new complete unit is usually about $84, I just buy a new complete unit so I can have a clean diverter and hoses. I would suggest replacing it when you notice a change in taste but it should last you at least 6 months or longer depending how hard your water is

You have to tear off the shroud/hood to get at it. There are something like 3 or 4 screws holding it together. That's the hard part, but it isn't too difficult to hold it all with one hand while using a screw driver. Slide the old filter out, slide the new one in. Put the screws back in and you're done. I think I did find a manual on the Whirlpool web site that had a picture showing the location of the screws. Good luck.

I own this and have found to fix must replace the whole unit.... This summer2014 will be our second replacement in two years. It was suggested to me to bypass thus pump and draw water thru. But use a sand filter... Might try that instead

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

Depends on whether you have soft water or not. I have soft water that runs through the filter. After one year the build up was almost nothing to be concerned with...........so I kept the original installed. But, I keep an eye on it monthly and replace it with a new filter that I bought via Amazon for $13.00 (just in case). On the other hand, a person I know has hard water and the filter has to be replaced yearly to include the automatic water shut off valve.

Here's what the distributor of the product says: "Please pull the filter out and insert the new filter. We are working on having instruction sheets added to the pails" Doesn't say how to pull it out so I guess any way you can get it out and any way you can get a new one in.

BTW, the plastic frame pops apart. You can take the top of the frame off, pull the old filter out, push a new filter into the frame, pop the top back on, and reinstall the frame - it takes 10 minutes at most.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

Hi this is Steve at Aqua Products. We suggest that you a) unplug the unit and then re-plug it in. If that does not work please call our 1-800 line at 1-800-845-4856

You have to open it and change the filter. I do this every other month only I hose the old one down

Have you rechecked the "in" & "out" ports, or is there a packing plug? I'd remove the filter again, and blow thru the ports to see if that is where the ressistance is- ie: the filter or the Moeller top assembly. Let me know, Jim

On our unit, there is a small "drawer" like piece right around the large filter area, where water runs into the two filters. It has a small snap lid that opens upward and you drop the cartridge in and close the lid. Good luck.

I've tired to correct my answer several times but every time some of the words get changed.basically you take off old filter saving original hard basket and then working the new filter over original basket making sure the rubber seal is secure

FYI, if you drop it hard, which is likely before end of useful life, you should replace it since the filter may be damaged. http://www.princeton.edu/~oa/manual/water.shtml

on the model that I have the filter screws onto the inside of the water tank fill cap. remove the fill cap, unscrew the old filter from the cap and replace it with the new filter. Should be simple. Be sure to follow instructions for activating the filter.

Either you have hard water and need to clean the unit, or possibly something got into the machine. I have taken off the plate on the bottom of the unit (kind of a long triange with 3 screws) this was recommended from one of the critiques I read. I only use bottled distilled water, as our's is so hard, and it will keep the life of the machine extended. Hope this helps.
