Replacement Instructions
Filter cartridges
for the CBF1 Series C will last about 1,000 gallons or twelve months and
the CBF3 Series C will last about 400 gallons or 6 months before they need
to be replaced.
Filter cartridge
life varies depending on usage, and/or water conditions. Changes in taste,
color, and flow of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge
should be replaced.
NOTE: Read all
instructions before replacing filter cartridge.

cold water supply and open the drinking water faucet
to release pressure from system.

cloth, scrub the bottom of filter housing, O-ring groove, and cap with
dish soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. Fill bottom of the housing 1/3
full with water.

household bleach and scrub to disinfect.
D) Lubricate

step is important to ensure a proper housing seal.

occur.

bottom of housing with bleach water onto cap without
filter cartridge and hand-tighten.

water supply. Let faucet run for about 10
seconds, then turn off faucet and let stand for 20-30 minutes.

minutes).

water supply to system and open faucet to release
pressure. Remove bottom of housing and empty water.

The CB3 is the highest performance carbon block
cartridge on the market today. It is used in OMNI Undersink filters CBF3,
OT32, and OB3.
The CB3's carbon block removes chlorine and odors, harmful bacteria like Giardia
and Cryptosporidium, lead, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like Atrazine
(a herbicide) and Lindane (a pesticide), as well as 32 other VOCs, to give you
great tasting, safe drinking water right from the tap, or from a dedicated
faucet, depending on the unit selected.

NOTE: as
of 2008, the design of the CB3 has changed again. The CB3 will now
be open at both ends. Another major difference is that this newer
version will last longer (up to 6 months).
If you receive a new model
and you are unable to close the top of your housing,
please remove the o-ring(s) from the new filter and use the ones from
the old filter, as the new ones may be thicker. This should allow you to
close the lid on the housing.
