FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why is my old water filter hard to get out?
A: The receiver has warped with heat and age. This usually occurs in filters left in service too long. Every seal in a Tier1
®
filter is pre-lubricated to aid in installation.
Q: Why are there black specks in the water or why does my water taste funny?
A: Water filters are made from the purest carbon blocks. When the filter ships it bounces around and knocks carbon
granules
loose from the block. These little carbon granules are called fines. All of the quality filters in the market place
require a
preliminary flushing to remove the carbon fines. Some systems may need to be flushed more than once. This is
especially true if
you have scale or lime water. If you go on vacation and do not use your filtered water for several days,
flush the systems
again to remove any stagnant water.
Q: If I do not change my filter every 6 months, can this damage the system?
A: Yes, you must replace the filter every six months or whenever the filter light comes on (whichever comes first), or sooner
if water flow to dispenser or icemaker is reduced or if there is heavy sediment/rust present. Filters left in longer will
fatigue and burst causing water damage. We recommend a water hammer arrester be installed in any home that uses a
refrigerator water filter.
