Avant de commencer :
- Ensure the main water supply to your tap is turned off.
- Ayez une serviette ou un petit basin ready to catch any residual water.
- Refer to your MyPure A1C system manual for specific housing details.
Steps for Cartridge Installation:
- Localisez le boîtier du filtre : Identify the BRITA MyPure A1C filter housing unit, usually mounted under your kitchen sink.
- Retirez l'ancienne cartouche (le cas échéant) : If replacing an old cartridge, twist the old cartridge counter-clockwise to unlock it from the housing. Pull it downwards to remove. Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly.
- Préparer une nouvelle cartouche : Remove the new BRITA A1000 cartridge from its packaging. Ensure the protective cap is removed from the top of the cartridge.
- Insérer une nouvelle cartouche : Align the top of the new A1000 cartridge with the filter housing. Push it upwards into the housing and then twist clockwise until it locks securely into place. You should feel a click or resistance indicating it is properly seated.
- Vérifiez les fuites : Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check for any leaks around the filter housing and connections. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-seat the cartridge, and re-check.
- Purger le système : Run filtered water from your tap for approximately 5-10 minutes to flush out any air bubbles and carbon fines from the new cartridge. The water may appear cloudy initially; this is normal and will clear.
