MAINTAINING YOUR XO WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
XO cartridge filter systems are sized to filter 3000 gallons of water. In a residential
application such as use with an ice maker, this should be adequate for 12 months
depending upon the water quality. If the water pressure on your gauge drops by 10%
it is an indication that the filter is dirty and it is time to change the cartridge.
(EXAMPLE: 50 psi initially drops to 45 psi)
