How Do You Replace A Whole House Water Filter Cartridge?
Water filtration provides healthy, safe drinking, washing and bathing water for you and your family. A whole house water filter can even improve the air quality inside your home. Since chlorine is removed, it can’t vaporize into the air inside. Step 1 Replace a whole house water filter cartridge regularly. Most experts recommend every three months and make sure you purchase the right kind of cartridge. It should say “whole house” on the package. Step 2 Turn your water supply off. Most homes have a cutoff on the supply line located just before the filter so that the homeowner doesn’t have to go to the road to cut off or to the well to turn the pump off. Step 3 Relieve the water pressure on the lines before you unscrew the holder that holds the water filter. The water filter cartridge is pressurized when the water is running, and so it must be relieved before you can replace a whole house water filter cartridge. You can turn a faucet on inside the house or turn on the outside garden hose
